About the host
Hosted by Jolene Balfany
Our family is really excited to share this beautiful property with others when we aren't able to be here. We have always dreamed of owning another property in the sunshine state where we can vacation and spend time making memories that will last a lifetime. We hope you enjoy our little slice of paradise as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property not only because of it's fabulous location to just about everything one could want or need, but because of it beauty. It's so open, light and airy. The amount of space it provides with the 2 unique main living spaces, the 4 beds, amazing lanai and canal views. The home has been completely updated and all the appliances are brand new. I just fell in love and had to have it.
What makes this property unique
We were quite surprised to find that we have 2 Florida Burrowing Owls sharing the property with us. We named them Hootie and Tootsie (named after the "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" owl) They are so cute and we have so much fun watching and learning more about them every time we stay.
