About the host

Hosted by Denise Vitale

Host profile image
While my husband and I are native Floridians, we have also lived abroad for several years. We returned to the United States in 2015 and opened our first vacation rental in 2022. My husband is retired law enforcement, serving his community for 20+ years and I am retired from our local school system. We thoroughly enjoy spending time with our grandchildren.

Why they chose this property

The Horseman's Retreat is located in an established, quiet neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

The split plan home sits on just over a half an acre on a dead end cul-d-sac. This provides plenty of room for parking and to maneuver a trailer. However, careful not to block the horse farm neighbor's entrance to their property, which is located off the cul-d-sac. Once the pavement ends, the neighbor's property begins.
