About the host
Hosted by Judy Tagert
I was a licensed Occupational Therapist for 30 years until i luckily found this sweet venture. Some things are meant to be and this came into my life for a reason. So happy to be out of the healthcare nightmare and love meeting the travelers. Such a wonderful life now. I only do real estate and love it. I do not plan to retire even though i am 63 years young. Love meeting so many wonderful people from all over the world.
Why they chose this property
These little neglected cottages needed TLC. The buildings are very authentic but needed updating and major renovation to preserve. The compound was big enough to put a 5000 sq foot back yard with pool, etc.
What makes this property unique
These little cottages are so charming and quaint. The cottages were in very poor condition when i purchased this property. I worked with the City of Madeira Beach to make this compound a much better place in this little neighborhood. The cozy screened porches are a favorite. The compound has plenty of room for everyone and ample parking. Guests love being able to walk to John's Pass Village.
