My Dad and Mom purchased this property to be used as a family spot for our large family. My Mom spent winters out here with my Dad, eventually, they began renting rooms. My Mom passed away in 2009 after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. I had been living in Northern Ca. for over 15 years, had gone to Chiropractic school in San Jose. After graduating, I settled into a Chiropractic practice in Los Gatos, CA. I delivered my daughter 4 days after my Mom passed away, and with the support of my husband, decided to close my practice and move closer to my fou sisters. My husband and I came to Matlacha, to help my Dad run his motel without my Mom. My Dad finally made the decision to move onto a new chapter in his life and put Serenity Bay up for sale. By that time I had fallen in love with the area were living in Bokeelia. I purchased the motel from my Dad in September 2016. My Mom is with me watching me carry on her vision of Serenity Bay. I still intend to get back to Chiropractic and will ultimately try to open my practice here.
