About the host

Hosted by Dina and Don

Host profile image
We were both raised in Tennessee, where we met in college and were married in 1993. We have five children ranging in age from elementary school to adulthood. Our hobbies include making quilts and stained glass, brewing mead, and growing unusual plants.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Cayo Costa shortly after we were married and have been bringing our five children to the island for their entire lives. The mostly-undeveloped island is a rare treasure and we delight in spending time here and helping preserve its pristine nature. Having our own place on the island is a decades-long dream come true.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this house because it is so comfortable and welcoming. We especially love the high ceilings, wide porches, comfortable lanai, and the stunning views from the roof. The sun rises over the bay to the east and sets over the gulf to the west, the breezes whisper through the palms, and the night sky is like a carpet of stars. The island is quiet, with only a handful of homes, and there is often no one else on the beach. We love enjoying the quiet, the incredible diversity of flora and fauna, and the infinite beauty of the natural Gulf coast.
