Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jo-An Thomas
As a military child, I have lived my life as a traveler, a seeker of culture, nature, knowledge, and people. People often ask where I am from, truly I don't know the answer to that question.  Newfoundland, Canada?  Fairbanks or Whittier Alaska?  Williamsburg, Virginia? Hingham Massachusetts? Virginia Beach, Virginia? Puerto Rico? Panama? The Caribbean? Asia? 
I have chosen St. Petersburg, Florida as my spiritual home. This place speaks to me of all the people, places and cultures I've known and reminds me of days gone by in happy times on other turfs. It is called "The Sunshine City" and I crave the warmth of the people, the place and the potential herein.

Why they chose this property
I looked for this property for two years.  I wanted a home that reminded me of the places I'd lived.  I love that there is plenty of land with vegetation surrounding what was originally a duplex.   The two sides of the house were re-connected sometime in the 1960s.  I have sectioned off the Guest Quarters/apartment for short-term rentals.  It is private (but shared on the porch) for renters and has a private door to the pool area.
The location is convenient to downtown, restaurants, museums, Crescent Lake Park, art, and events. The beach is only 7 miles away unless one would like to use the beach downtown which is 2 miles away.

What makes this property unique
Guests tell me it is homey and not like a hotel, more like a place to feel at home.
