About the host
Hosted by Portfolio Vacations
My husband and I grew up in the mid-west and always had the desire to move to Florida. We moved to the Anna Maria Island area seven years ago and haven't looked back. We enjoy boating, the beach, riding motorcycles, working around the house and enjoying our kids and grandkids. We like speaking/ working with guest and owners to make the experiences memorable, which is very important to us.
