About the host
Hosted by Angela Diederichs
Hello and welcome! My name is Angela Diederichs. I’m originally from Germany and moved to beautiful Florida in 2021 after many years of spending vacations here. I fell in love with Southwest back in 2008 — so much that my family and I purchased our first home here. Today, I live in Cape Coral with my husband and daughter, and I’m proud to call this sunny paradise my home.
Why they chose this property
It's like in a fairy tale.
What makes this property unique
It's completely different from those Florida Houses everybody knows. The location is priceless. Watch the wildlife on your own lake while having breakfast. these are memories made to last forever !
