About the host
Hosted by Rhina Cortes-Pinciotti - James Pinciotti
Jim is originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Tampa 25 years ago looking for better weather to raise his family. He enjoyed outdoor activities and worked in the Hospitality business for 25 years. Actually he works in the Real Estate Business along with his wife Rhina.
Rhina is from D.R. and as a Caribbean girl she grew up on the beach and enjoyed so many family activities around the water.
Jim knew that in order to keep his wife happy he has to bring her back close to the beach. As they say "Happy Wife.. Happy Life".

Why they chose this property
Jim & Rhina bought this property in June 2018.
Why J&R choose IRB? We have been looking for a place for years along the coast in the Tampa Bay area and we couldn't find anything that filled our expectations. We knew that we wanted something in the Indian Rocks Beach area due to the "Old Florida" beach style. It's very friendly, laid back, not over crowded and offers you that special feeling that makes Indian Rocks Beach unique. As soon as we saw this property it was love at first sight.
Some properties in Indian Rocks Beach are outdated but this one was totally renewed providing that fresh look that invites you to stay there forever. Also the convenience of this location that is just 50 steps away from the sandy beach and at the same time walking distance to local restaurants, shopping centers, bars, and everything that this beach town has to offer.
