About the host

Hosted by Yvonne Addario

Host profile image
Welcome to my little slice of paradise in Jupiter, Florida. I’ve been a proud resident here for over 25 years, but my journey in hospitality began much earlier—back in Cooperstown, NY, where I grew up in a Victorian Italianate home built during President Lincoln’s time. My parents ran it as a summer tourist home, and that’s where I first learned the art of welcoming guests and creating memorable stays.

I’m an author and retired publisher, now fully devoted to maintaining this unique property and curating experiences through my Explorers Vacation Club. The club includes two distinctive retreats: a 64' Gibson Motor Yacht docked on the water and a cozy 28' Thor Motorhome nestled on the grounds. Each space offers its own flavor of adventure, comfort, and charm.

I take pride in blending history, creativity, and hands-on care into everything I do—from the way the spaces are designed to the personal touches that make your stay special. Whether you're here to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the Florida sunshine, I’m here to ensure your visit is smooth, inspiring, and unforgettable.

Why they chose this property

Everything is close; churches, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and the beach. Yet, we live in a tranquil tropical type setting which makes our place unique.

What makes this property unique

What sets this property apart is its unbeatable location and the unique blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. Nestled in the heart of Jupiter, you're just a short walk from everything that makes a Florida getaway unforgettable—pristine beaches, waterfront restaurants, lively bars, boutique shops, and scenic parks.

Unlike typical rentals, this property is part of the Explorers Vacation Club, offering guests a choice of two distinctive stays: a 64' Gibson Motor Yacht on the water for a floating escape, and a cozy 28' Thor Motorhome for land-based adventurers. Each retreat is thoughtfully maintained and infused with character, reflecting the host’s lifelong passion for hospitality and storytelling.

Whether you're here to unwind, explore, or soak up the local culture, you'll find yourself perfectly positioned to do it all—without ever needing to drive.
