About your Hosts
Stephen and Catherine are your hosts. Stephen grew up in Boston and spent summers cruising the coast of New England with his father on his sailboat and alternate weekends visiting our lake home in Vermont. Our family loves to travel, spending time on the water and skiing. We have lived in Sarasota full time since 1998 and enjoy the subtropical climate and boating throughout the area. Stephen designed and built the home and we have made some beautiful memories spending time on the island with our friends and family. The island house is our bliss and we are happy to share with like minded families.
Things to do and see
Dining Out - Our Beachfront Vacation Rental home is surrounded by pristine boating and swimming water & the best gulf and bay fishing on the west coast of Florida.
Wildlife - During a typical stay you will see dolphins playing off the beach, manatees often, tarpon, sea turtles and a large array of gulf coast fish.
Birding - For a bird lover‘s vacation, you will see and hear osprey, great horned owls, pileated woodpeckers, great blue herons, egrets, wood storks, roseate spoonbills, screech owls, white and brown pelicans, frigates, cormorants, anhingas and many other sea birds. There are no poisonous snakes or other dangerous wildlife on the island.
Fishing - Fly and cast fishing is epic as the waters surrounding the island are nick-names by the locals as "The Kitchen" - and are teeming with gulf coast fish.
Beach-combing is also wonderful on property and along the sandbar. Exploring our private island is fun for all.
The kids will enjoy the 200' Zip line.
