West of Trail Bungalow Near SMH, Siesta & Lido Key

Fellow travelers, hello! Being a native Sarasotan and current thirty something, whatever your interests are please feel free to ask for guidance. This beautiful city has options for everyone - whether you are the golfer, ride horses, kite surf, love a little live classic rock or classical, are looking at vacation homes, are wondering about schools in the area, want to know the absolute best place for a foodie or the most perfect sunset - I've got you :)

I used Airbnb for all of my travels all over the world. I lived in Munich, Germany for a little over a year as a home base and stayed at the homes of people in Spain, Rome, France, Italy, Austria and more. I think it was the most practical and affordable way to really immerse myself in a town and see what it is all about.

Access to a full kitchen for someone that loves to cook and is particular about what they eat is a plus for me, and more than anything - the knowledge of the local whose house I was staying in. When you only have a limited amount of time, the best way to experience another city is via a local that is passionate about the place they call home.

I give my guests space, but am always available. Exchanging travel stories and getting to know one another is a pleasure; however, I respect that some folks just want to keep to themselves and that is okay too!

My husband is a Sheriff’s deputy and I am a prominent realtor in town at Premier Sotheby’s - winner of the SRQ Women in Business, 2020 Best of SRQ Realtor, Top 10 Premier Sotheby’s agent In the region and ranked #272 of over 200,000 Realtors in the state of Florida. Many people come to look for a place in the future and are just starting out and interested in a tour of the area, while others are ready to see homes and make an offer. Give me some notice and we can make either happen.

I am also President of a local non-profit in town called Teen Court which works hand in hand with at risk youth, our schools and many leaders in our town.
