About the host
Hosted by Denise Vitale
While my husband and I are native Floridians, we have also lived abroad for several years. We returned to the United States in 2015 and opened our first vacation rental in 2022. My husband is retired law enforcement, serving his community for 20+ years and I am retired from our local school system. We thoroughly enjoy spending time with our grandchildren.
