About the host

Hosted by Jackie

Host profile image
I am a true adventurer who loves to travel and enjoy life to the fullest! I love all outdoor/indoor recreational and competitive sports, music, great restaurants, and the arts and theatre. What I love most of all is my family, close friends and my 5 doggies! Originally from California and Hawaii, I am a concert flute player, a (former competitive) body builder and all American swimmer. I have lived in Southwest Florida for over 26 years to be close to and help my mother. Florida is a nice place to be in the fall, winter and spring - PARADISE and I hope to provide a wonderful experience in my vacation rental homes here in Florida to share with you and your family. I too enjoy experiencing new and exciting vacation destinations! As a single mom, I lived in Cortez Village for 12 years and graduated from the University of South Florida in 2010 with two bachelors degrees in finance and international business minoring in marketing, music and Spanish while raising my two very bright and beautiful sons, Joseph and Jacob. Joe has two beautiful daughters now and I am so looking forward to more healthy grandchildren some day from Jacob! The more grandchildren the better that I can cherish and spoil and then them send home! I plan on returning to the University of South Florida Tampa in the very near future to pursue a masters of science for business management and mass communication! I hope to promote, innovate, design, and encourage healthy alternative lifestyles that will heal our great earth and optimize human existence in every way! In the meantime, I enjoy the hospitality work. It is very rewarding to serve others and provide them with the ultimate vacation experience that will create wonderful life long memories with the people most precious to them.

Why they chose this property

For the family that loves to entertain, and enjoy the casual, serene lifestyle or savor the charms of Florida living, this is your retreat! I strive to create an environment that would offer every creature comfort that exists at your leisure. Yearning for adventure? Look no further than out the door for fun in the sun with water sports adventures, theme parks, out of this world eateries, and the nicest and most friendly people on the whole planet! Clean and fresh, Our custom and renovated home is fully furnished with modern indoor & outdoor furniture and accessories to make your stay comfortable, relaxing and memorable. A few steps from the marinas, beaches, bay, piers, parks, and very unique shops and restaurants. A "hop, skip, and jump" to go for jet skiing, kayaking, parasailing, deep sea fishing, and the best of every kind of sports charter service are a block from the front door along with the famous Seafood Shack Marina and Restaurant. Cortez, on Sarasota Bay in Manatee County, is one of the last remaining fishing villages on Florida's southwest Gulf coast. Anna Maria Island is just over the Cortez Bridge with so many amazing adventures and places to explore. Take a scenic drive on Gulf of Mexico Drive to Long Boat Key which is just three miles away with many five star restaurants and the famous Mote Marine Aquarium. And of course, Orlando and Tampa are home to some of the greatest amusement parks on earth and they are just a little over an hour away. Wow so much fun all in one! I recently purchased this property for several reasons. It is on the salt water canal to the ocean in a super central location to so many fabulous and international destinations by land or sea! Just hanging out and relaxing here is a DREAM COME TRUE! I lived in Cortez for 12 years and it is a very lovable old commercial fishing village with a whole lotta charm. When my vacation rental home is not rented, I definitely enjoy it myself with family and friends.
