❤️ A LITTLE ABOUT US
Originally from Zimbabwe, we've spent many happy years living in the UK, where we previously ran a successful boat hire business in London. Our shared love of boats, travel and sunshine eventually led us to discover beautiful Southwest Florida, with its stunning waterways, abundant wildlife, friendly people and wonderfully laid-back lifestyle.

These days, we enjoy sharing our family-owned homes in Yorkshire, UK, and Florida, USA, with guests when we're not enjoying them ourselves.

Although both properties are our personal homes, we've taken great care to furnish and style them with our guests in mind. You'll find everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay, without our personal belongings on display. We want you to enjoy all the comforts of home, without feeling as though you're staying in someone else's!

Our passion for boats, travel and hospitality has always been a big part of our lives, and we believe a great holiday home should feel welcoming, comfortable and just a little bit special.

The Hoon is our little piece of paradise, and we're delighted to share it with guests who will appreciate and care for it as much as we do.

Whether you're here to explore the Gulf Coast, get out on the water, unwind beside the pool or simply soak up the Florida sunshine, we hope you'll feel right at home and leave with some wonderful memories! 🌴🐬☀️

❤️❤️❤️

🌴 WELCOME!
