About the host
Hosted by Barbara Henzler
Dan and Barbara share two beautiful daughters, Meagan and Samantha, and four dogs. In their free time, they enjoy spending time with family, travel, and a typical Florida lifestyle of beaches, boating, and theme parks.
Why they chose this property
Living near the water is just not enough. We wanted a place on the water, with easy access to all the things we love. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to allow others to experience our world, even if it's only for a short while.
What makes this property unique
The home situated on a deep saltwater canal is a short 10 mins from the bay, and Busch Gardens is an easy day trip! Disney is about an hour and a half away, as are the amazing beaches of Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, and Anna Maria! We offer all sorts of activities to entertain the whole family.
