Placida, Florida
Glen & Sari's lalaland. We bought our home in 1996 & moved right in. We lived ion the house for 15 years. We love living on the ocean & being part of all that nature has to offer.
We both worked on the island & Glen still does..We endured a lot of different weather conditions. Repairing the damage with each storm. But Hurricaine IAN took the interior & a lot of the exterior of our home along with many of our friends & families, homes. We were blessed to have family, volunteers, FIMA, citizens ins. co. & multiple donations.Glen is a contractor so we were lucky to remodel sooner than others. Amazing how people volunteered to help, simply amazing. God was definitely helping us all.
The island is beautiful, like the Bahamas but in the U.S. No passport required.

No long walks to the beach. At night sit out on the sun balcony, light a candle & listen to the waves gently touch the seashells, music that never stops.

This was an amazing property with wonderful owners. It is equipped with all the items, experiences and views needed to show you what true relaxation is meant to look and feel like. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back!
Sari and Glen are amazing host. The house is perfect and stocked with everything you need. It felt like being at home. We have traveled all over the world and this was the best and most relaxing vacation.
While I could write a book about this slice of heaven, I’ve recently broken my wrist, so am trying to keep brief If you are looking to stay in a peaceful, beautiful piece of paradise, book now. It literally had everything we needed for a pleasant stay, and the location cannot be beat! It was very clean, and trust me, I’m very picky, and look in places most wouldn’t. The kitchen was well appointed, and lacked nothing we needed for the week. Beautiful panoramic views from kitchen/ living area, and the bonus of having a views from each bedroom As for the location, no more lugging chairs, coolers, umbrellas etc, because you’re already on the beach, and can choose from upper deck, lower deck or out on sand, which makes it nice for needed trips for snacks or bathroom. Only one snag during our stay, the washer went kaput, but after contacting Sari, she assured me it would be taken care of. I thought for sure being on the island, that it would be more than a few days, but instead, they have one installed within a couple days! Very impressive! Anyway, to make a long story (kinda) short, this place is amazing, and God be willing, we will be back! Hopefully, next time, we will be able to stay longer!
Sari and Glenn’s LaLa Land is amazing. 180 degree water views from inside the house and you just can not get any closer without being wet. We had everything we needed. The island was quiet even over 4th of July. Perfect place to really get away and relax. Just, yes!
Glen and Sari were exceptional host! Thoughtful, prompt response, and delightful when communicating
We absolutely loved our stay here! It was everything we wanted and more. We did a three day boat rental which was perfect as well for our trip, so we could explore and fish! We left poles and tackle for any future quests to enjoy as well. Sari and Glen were there for any questions we had. The house has everything you could need for cooking, outdoor water activities, along with the comforts of home. The view and location can't be beat when it comes to relaxation! We will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Thank you for a great vacation! You were very responsive to our needs and we appreciated that. My only comment was I wasn’t sure about the procedure for the key arriving and leaving. Fortunately, we ran into Glen on the way, so he provided details. Upon leaving, I did what I thought was best but would have preferred knowing what you wanted me to do. All in all, it worked out, so this was very minor.
We had a great time!! It was just what we needed. Great location on the beach. Lots of wildlife and beautiful sunsets every night!!!
Great location and had all the amenities needed for the time we were there.
