Very Convenient for Me!

This 3BR home was located VERY close to a family member's home where celebrations were taking place so it was very convenient for me. It was spotless, and access was very easy. Although it could have slept at least 5 more people comfortably, the one-bathroom would have been problematic for a group of mature adults.

Just as good in person as in the photos

Very nice property for older folks. Excellent A/C system, functional kitchen, nice bathroom. At first I thought my bed (smaller end room, not the larger room) was too soft but it turned out to be just fine. Logged excellent sleep every night. I'd come back to Bungalow Tropicalia!

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Hello, and welcome to our home away from home! My name is Erika, and my husband's name is Sterling. Together we host 4 properties as vacation rentals, but 1424 Castleworks Lane is especially dear to us.

Sterling grew up in Ozona, FL (15 minutes south of here) and his parents still live in the same house he grew up in right off of Limetta Street overlooking the Gulf. I am a Georgia girl born and raised in Athens, GA. I spent almost 10 years in Texas, and had a daughter there, so I like to consider myself a Texan too. Currently our full time residence is in Bishop, GA. Sterling is a merchant mariner by trade but has gone full time into entrepreneurship. I am a graphic designer that has gone full time into being a mom again. Our first son, but 4th child was born in April 2023.

We live on a small 10 acre farm, have 3 adult daughters, 1 baby boy, 17 hens, 1 rooster, and a garden. I currently milk goats, manage our vacation properties, and take care of our beautiful son.

We hope you enjoy your stay at Bungalow Tropicalia!
