About the host

Hosted by Gary Paul

Host profile image
Hello! and welcome to "The Blue Lotus", my name is Gary Paul, I am a retired firefighter and I am fortunate enough to live in South Florida where the sun shines year-round and offers some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I decided to become a host and share my charming and quaint sanctuary with you, "Blue Lotus Cottage." Since I am retired, I will focus and give my 100% attention to make sure your stay will be unforgettable and provide you with the most enjoyable lodging experience.

What makes this property unique

This quaint old Florida home built in 1952, retains its original floor plan, barrel tiled roof, and hardwood floors. Its old-world charm meets new world upgrades to form exquisite character inside and out. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee and evening glass of wine in the cozy front porch. The tropical like backyard hosts a large swimming pool, surrounded by luscious foliage, mature trees, synthetic grass and a putting green. Comfortable lounge seating under a covered pergola, sunny chaise lounges with umbrella are poolside and relaxing Adirondack chairs next to a gas firepit and the Buddha water feature will help you connect to nature and relax. A large BBQ gas grill is available for the outdoor Chef in you. I am confident that your stay at the Blue Lotus Cottage will be meet all your expectations for enjoyment and will leave a long lasting positive experience.
