I'm originally from South Africa and am fortunate to have called the U.S. home for the past 30 years. My husband and I have lived in many beautiful states throughout the country. We are avid travelers, scuba divers, hikers, and parents to four adult children. We are happily settled in sunny Sarasota with its glorious beaches, culture, arts, and outstanding restaurants. Our other love is St. Croix, where we have owned and spent months on the island enjoying the multitude of area attractions, diving, stand-up paddleboarding, the foodie scene, and significantly relaxing because of the laid-back island vibe. We hope you are as captivated by Sarasota and St. Croix as we are. We discovered Austin when our youngest son was a Freshman at UT Austin, and the area is now home to our oldest daughter too. So Austin holds a special place in my heart. I'm always available to answer any questions you may have and wish to make your stay at The Sweet Spot, The Clematis, and Spacious Seaside Serenity memorable.
