About the host
Hosted by Maureen & David Thomas
David and I are empty-nesters who love South Florida and everything it has to offer for both living and vacationing. We feel very fortunate to have purchased this slice of paradise and have worked hard to make it homey, beachy and comfortable for all of our guests. We are very excited to share everything special about Siesta Key with each and every one of you.
We have lovingly named our unit "Finns", as it is both a nod to ocean and marine life, but also a remembrance of our beloved 3-legged Golden Retriever "Finnigan" whom we lost this past year.
When we are not working, David and I can be found spending time with family, boating or beaching. We live just 20 mins down the road and have 3 grown children and one beautiful mutt named Sasha. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property due to its proximity to the beach/water and because we saw its potential. Its a piece of old FL history and we wanted to give it new life. After working hard on updates (paint, flooring, furniture, etc) we feel like its the perfect place to come back to after a day at the beach.
What makes this property unique
This property gives our guests direct private beach access (without having to cross busy streets), and without the high rental prices that other beach-front communities charge. Its located exactly in the middle of the key and has great access to both North Village, South Village and Turtle Beach.
