About the host
Hosted by Dylan Rutledge
Hi, I’m Dylan. I’m a 4th-generation Floridian who loves spending time with my beautiful wife, daughter, and our golden retriever, June. Hosting gives me the chance to share a comfortable, welcoming space with guests and create the kind of experience I appreciate when I travel. I’m easy to reach, quick to communicate, and committed to making sure your stay feels relaxing and stress-free.
Why they chose this property
I love this house because it’s peaceful, safe, and incredibly convenient. Everything you need is close by — restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and easy access to main roads. It’s a great area for families, evening walks, and anyone who wants a relaxing place to stay without being far from anything.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is its age and character. At 103 years old, it has a timeless feel, cozy atmosphere, and small touches you only find in historic homes. I’ve kept its original wood floors, preserving the home’s charm, while also making thoughtful updates to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay.
