About the host
Hosted by Christine Hoag
The things I enjoy most are the simple pleasures of life. I enjoy time spent with family, taking long walks on the beach and feeling the sand between my toes. I love my little best friend and companion, aka my dog Teddy!
Why they chose this property
I fell in love with Anna Maria Island about 4 years ago when I first discovered it. Anna Maria Island is a slice of paradise tucked away on Florida's Gulf Coast. It has a charming, laid-back atmosphere that is right up my alley. I love the powdery white-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and stunning sunsets. I love the old-Florida charm, that has been maintained despite the urge by many to develop. Instead, I enjoy the quaint shops, local eateries serving fresh seafood, and a warm, welcoming community vibe.
What makes this property unique
I think the property is unique in that every moment on Anna Maria Island feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, embrace simplicity, and truly enjoy life’s little pleasures.
