About the host

Hosted by Nancy Lopez

Host profile image
Hi, we’re David and Nancy, and we’re passionate about creating memorable experiences for our guests. As longtime Florida locals and small business owners, hospitality has always been at the heart of what we do. We own and operate Latitudes Tours in Ruskin, where we’ve spent years helping visitors experience the beauty of Florida’s waterways, wildlife, and laid-back coastal lifestyle.

Hosting our VRBO allows us to extend that same welcoming experience beyond the water. We truly enjoy helping guests relax, reconnect, and make lasting memories with family and friends. Whether you’re here for a beach getaway, boating, fishing, sunsets, or simply a peaceful escape, we love sharing the charm of our area and helping guests feel right at home.

We take pride in offering a clean, comfortable, thoughtfully maintained space and are always happy to share local recommendations, hidden gems, and favorite spots to eat, explore, and unwind. Our goal is simple — we want every guest to arrive as visitors and leave with wonderful memories of their time here.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is quiet, friendly, and perfect for anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with nature. Guests love launching the complimentary kayaks right from the backyard to explore the Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve, one of Florida's most beautiful protected estuaries. Anglers appreciate the world-class inshore fishing, while birdwatchers and photographers are treated to an incredible variety of coastal wildlife.

What makes this property unique

What makes this studio truly special is its waterfront location on a quiet canal with direct access to the Cockroach Bay Aquatic Preserve and Tampa Bay. Launch the complimentary kayaks from the backyard and paddle through scenic mangrove trails where you may spot dolphins, manatees, rays, and an incredible variety of coastal birds.

After a day on the water, relax in the private swim spa overlooking the canal, cast a line from the dock, or simply enjoy the peaceful setting. Boaters are welcome too, with nearby public boat ramp access and trailer parking available.

The studio is located on the ground level of our elevated home and has its own private entrance, giving guests their own comfortable space while we're available if needed. We've designed it to be a relaxing retreat for anglers, kayakers, birdwatchers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience Florida's natural beauty away from the crowds.

Whether you're planning a fishing getaway, a romantic escape, or a quiet place to unwind, this is the kind of spot where you can truly slow down, enjoy the water, and make lasting memories.
