About the host
Hosted by Becca Graves
Hi there! I’m an empty nester from Austin, TX, now enjoying life with my energetic doodle and three wonderful grandkids (hoping for more!). Hosting is my way of sharing comfort, joy, and a little slice of peace with others. I’ve tried to stock the home with everything you might need—from beach gear to baby supplies—so you can focus on relaxing and making memories. I truly hope you enjoy your stay.
Why they chose this property
This home has that charming Old Florida feel, with its brick and cobblestone driveway and cozy cottage vibe. The neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and full of character. You’re just half a mile from the Riverwalk expansion and less than a quarter mile from peaceful waterfront strolls. It’s incredibly relaxing to sit by the canal and watch the fish jump. Plus, being on a large corner lot with no neighbors behind, the home offers a surprising amount of privacy—perfect for unwinding.
What makes this property unique
This peaceful canal-front property has just one neighbor and a rare sense of privacy. Lounge by the pool, practice your putting, or simply watch fish jump from the water out back—it’s a relaxing, Florida moment you won’t forget. The home is close enough to the beach for easy day trips, yet far enough to avoid the island’s traffic and crowds. It’s the perfect blend of convenience, calm, and charm.
