We’re Darrin and Marisa, a husband-and-wife host team. As lifelong Minnesotans, we grew tired of harsh winters and decided to spend them in Bradenton, Florida, close to beautiful Anna Maria Island. In 2024, we made Door County, Wisconsin, our summer home, officially leaving Minnesota behind. Before retiring, Darrin served 23 years as a police officer and now spends summers running a salmon fishing charter in the Gulf of America. I work in mortgage lending, but together we’ve found a shared passion for hospitality—a journey that’s been exciting and rewarding. Joining the vacation rental business has brought us amazing adventures and the chance to meet wonderful people. We love sharing our homes with guests, creating a warm and welcoming space that feels like a true home away from home, perfect for sanctuary vacations. We take pride in offering an exceptional experience and can’t wait to host you, whether you're visiting Siesta Key or exploring the local area!
