Meet The Host
Kristina
Owner
Hi! My name is Kristina and my husband is Jeff. We live in MA with our 2 beautiful children and 2 dogs. Both of our families fell in love with Cape Coral and decided to make it home. After visiting, we loved the area so much that we also decided to purchase a slice of paradise! We became hosts because until we are ready to live in Cape Coral full time, we wanted to open up our quiet oasis to you and your family/friends and let you fall in love as well!
