About the host
Hosted by Amy
My favorite memories growing up are of family Beach Vacations visiting my grandparents in Sunny Florida and spending time with my cousins building Sandcastles and jumping in the waves. Many years later I have my dream job of providing dream Florida vacations for families around the world. I simply LOVE hosting!
Why they chose this property
With absolutely breathtaking views of Lemon Bay, Blue Island Inn is a dream come true for me and I want to share this natural wonderland with others. I love dolphins and Manatee and somehow they are attracted to the estuary of lemon Bay in our backyard!! You can kick back and take in the extraordinary water views at our sandy “Bay Beach” right out back or there are numerous activities to enjoy on gorgeous Manasota key! Blue Island Inn offers villas in various sizes. Island oasis is our most spacious one king bedroom villa with stunning water views. Our interior designer especially created “Island Oasis” with all new furnishings and beautiful accents to highlight the amazing water views. We are very well equipped and we have top-notch cleaners. Our team is friendly and we treat our guests like family!
We have more than a decade in caring hospitality experience and it is our absolute pleasure to host you and your family.
