About the host
Hosted by Rachel Martin
I am a mom of three wonderful children! My two sons live in Asheville, NC. My daughter, recently left for college. Now that we are officially an Empty Nesters, I am renting out my private suite! I work full time as Operations Manager of a large downtown church, in Sarasota. I have worked there for 17 years! I also have a sweet yorkie named Ollie. I am also a judge for Odyssey of the Mind, a creative problem solving competition for kids, for the regional, state, and world levels. While being an empty nester frees up some of my time, I definitely don't have a hard time staying busy!
I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY and still have family there so I enjoy trips there and love to stay in other BNB's.
My husband is retired but teachers drivers ed for local high schools.
We hope that you will get time to explore the Sarasota area and especially the exciting downtown nightlife.
