About the host
Hosted by Rolf Kraus
My name is Rolf and I am the owner of this property. I was born in Germany, but have lived in Florida for over 30 yrs. My family and I lived in this home for many years and my son grew up here. I strive to be a good host and my goal is to ensure guests feel at home on the property and enjoy the many amenities, especially in the back yard as I have had a hand in building most of it.
Why they chose this property
We are perfectly located in the middle of the city, yet we have complete privacy. Our property is on a cul-de-sac with little traffic and we hare on a lake.
What makes this property unique
How many properties have a 5-hole putting green? It's been a wonderful addition and has proven to be a lot of fun for golfers and non-golfers alike! All the rooms have a distinct feature and we consider the property our little piece of Italy
