Beautiful Blue Beach House Kids & Pets OK! MARCH 2026 SPECIALS!

I am a true adventurer who loves to travel and enjoy life to the fullest! I love all outdoor/indoor recreational and competitive sports, music, great restaurants, and the arts and theatre. What I love most of all is my family, close friends and my 5 doggies! Originally from California and Hawaii, I am a concert flute player, a (former competitive) body builder and all American swimmer. I have lived in Southwest Florida for over 26 years to be close to and help my mother. Florida is a nice place to be in the fall, winter and spring - PARADISE and I hope to provide a wonderful experience in my vacation rental homes here in Florida to share with you and your family. I too enjoy experiencing new and exciting vacation destinations! As a single mom, I lived in Cortez Village for 12 years and graduated from the University of South Florida in 2010 with two bachelors degrees in finance and international business minoring in marketing, music and Spanish while raising my two very bright and beautiful sons, Joseph and Jacob. Joe has two beautiful daughters now and I am so looking forward to more healthy grandchildren some day from Jacob! The more grandchildren the better that I can cherish and spoil and then them send home! I plan on returning to the University of South Florida Tampa in the very near future to pursue a masters of science for business management and mass communication! I hope to promote, innovate, design, and encourage healthy alternative lifestyles that will heal our great earth and optimize human existence in every way! In the meantime, I enjoy the hospitality work. It is very rewarding to serve others and provide them with the ultimate vacation experience that will create wonderful life long memories with the people most precious to them.
