About the host
Your host
Hi, I’m Cassidy — a Gulf Coast enthusiast who splits time between Texas and Florida. By day, I help people make their dreams come true through real estate and mortgage lending, and by heart, I’m a host who loves creating spaces that bring joy, peace, and a touch of coastal magic.
Hosting became especially meaningful to me after losing my sister, Bonnie, who shared my love for sunshine, salty air, and carefree days by the sea. The Salty Sister Retreat was inspired by her spirit and our favorite memories together, and it’s my way of helping others experience that same sense of connection and renewal.
When I’m not helping clients or welcoming guests, you’ll find me exploring local beaches, collecting shark teeth, or enjoying good food and sunsets with family and friends. I love knowing that each person who stays here gets to make their own beautiful memories along Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast. 🌴💙

Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it perfectly captures the charm and community spirit of coastal Florida. It’s a quiet, waterfront area of single-family homes where neighbors look out for one another and genuinely take pride in their surroundings. Most residents live here year-round, which gives the neighborhood a welcoming, close-knit feel that’s hard to find in more tourist-heavy areas. It’s the kind of place where you can take a morning walk, wave to friendly faces, and truly feel at home.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the heart behind it. The Salty Sister Retreat was created in honor of my sister, Bonnie, who shared my love for sunshine, white sand beaches, and the peaceful rhythm of coastal living. Every detail of the home was designed to capture that same sense of warmth, joy, and serenity we felt by the sea. It’s not just a vacation rental — it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories in a home that was truly made with love. 💙
