About the host
Hosted by Chester Kroeger
I am a true Floridian.. I was born in Homestead and lived in the Florida Keys for 6 years. I think it is where I developed my love of the water and fishing. My mom and dad were into he hotel business - Florida in the Winter months and Atlantic City, New Jersey in the Summer. I am positive that being a part of the hospitality business from an early age led me to loving to host guests here at my home in Freeport. I also have other short term rentals here in the US as well as in the country of Panama. I love to meet new people and to help them make the best of their time here.
Why they chose this property
I chose to buy my home in the Waterview Cove neighborhood because of it's winding streets, established oak trees and other vegetation as well as the fact that it is a peaceful and quiet place. Walking or riding a bicycle in the neighborhood can be very therapeutic and the neighbors are great.
What makes this property unique
My property is located directly on Alaqua Bayou with incredible views of the water. The dock and huge over the water entertainment deck are very inviting and perfect for lounging, fishing or even swimming. I also love the fact that there are so many trees on the property. The property has a great pool, vegetable gardens and a firepit. I am very thankful to have found such an incredible place to call home.
