About the host
Hosted by Liz and Paul Wiederhold
We are baby boomers with a plan to retire as snowbirds someday. This is our Florida hideaway... our main home is in Asheville, NC. We rent our home SELECTIVELY when we're not using it.
Why they chose this property
Siesta Shores is one of just a few Key West style cottage communities left on Siesta Key. These old style fishing cottages are full of history with pickled cypress walls, vaulted ceilings, and private courtyards. We are just steps from the beach and a short stroll to the Village full of shops, grocery, restaurants, and nightlife. We are the right distance for easy access (park your car and never drive), but far enough away for quiet enjoyment!
What makes this property unique
Siesta Beach is just steps away across the street at beach access 7.
