About the host
Hosted by Laise Moreira
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about us! My name is Laise Moreira. I'm a Plant Scientist, finalizing my P.h.D in plant genetics with a focus on grapes. I LOVE beaches and nature, in fact, I got married on a small island in Brazil near Salvador, BA. I love flowers, grapes, and nature. Juliano, my husband, is a product designer/engineer who enjoys solving problems.
My husband and I were both born in Brazil; I was born on a small island in Bahia, so my passion for beaches and waves is undeniable, hence our home in Sarasota, FL. We enjoy meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and more importantly hosting families. We're very respectful, friendly, and responsive. Our goal is for you to have a memorable stay, we’ve worked very hard to create a delightful experience. We very much believe in VRBO's mission and I hope that you leave our home with the sentiment of joy, and craving to come back. Thank you for being our guest!
