Living and working in paradise is a true gift—but for us, the most beautiful part isn’t just the white sandy beaches or the warm Gulf sunsets. It’s the incredible people who make up this wonderful community.

We were born and raised in Berlin, Germany, and bring a deep passion for hospitality and travel to everything we do. Before moving to Florida, we owned and operated a successful travel agency in Germany for more than 20 years. During that time, we worked closely with international tour operators, travel agencies, and major travel platforms such as VRBO, Airbnb and our own Website. This experience allows us to connect easily with guests from around the world and understand exactly what travelers are looking for when they visit a special destination like ours.

Helping guests—whether they are visiting from across the globe or from just a few states away—is something we truly love. Sharing the beauty, charm, and hidden gems of this special part of Florida makes our work incredibly rewarding.

In 2011, we made the exciting decision to move with our son to Bradenton, and for the past years we have proudly called this area home. We absolutely love the Florida lifestyle, especially here in the Bradenton and Anna Maria Island area, where the relaxed coastal atmosphere and friendly community make every day feel special.

When we’re not working, we enjoy spending time with our family, soaking up the sunshine, and staying active. You’ll often find us playing tennis, taking long walks along the beach, or enjoying time with friends. And no matter how many times we experience the beauty of the Gulf Coast, we never get tired of capturing photos of our happy place.

We feel incredibly grateful to live here and to share this little slice of paradise with every guest we welcome. 🌴☀️
