Hosted by Lauren Almodovar
My name is Lauren. We are from south Florida. I'm a hard working mom, with 4 beautiful children, and two grand babies. I also work a full-time corporate job, I love. Hosting for you, is a dream I have worked hard to make happen. Of course, I haven't done it alone. I have am amazing husband, who has also worked hard to make this dream a reality. Together, we hope we can share in our little piece of paradise with you.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood, after visiting friends, who are are just a few blocks over. It was love at first sight, and we quickly started our search for a home away from home. The sense of community in Saint James City, just resonates that small town feeling amongst the neighbors and locals. This was further proven just 45 days after we purchased, when category 5 hurricane Ian, devastated the South West Florida region. It was a tough loss, but the way the community rallied and came together, filled our hearts and carried us thru the next stage of rebuilding.
What makes this property unique
So here we are, after Hurricane Ian, we finally finished rebuilding our little piece of paradise. This time, we poured our hearts and souls into this home. Working hard on the details in hopes that you too feel right at home.
