Lets celebrate life
Love everyone
Welcome to our curious space
What if it does all work out?
Why be normal when you can standout
We think you do any way
Well done you have made it
Let the natural light shine in

Even Disney thinks the bed is good enough for a princess

We have our own looooo (ve) art musem
You do look good

I will relax and put my feet up while you cook dinner
A dash of this and splash of that. Who doesnt love cooking colorfully
You are the cook and the dish washer
Behind the door lies.......................

Every artist's needs their tools

So here you go
Through the looking glass

Get out and smell the roses
See the ugly duckling turned into a swan
Please break some bread with me and my babies
Is the the yellow brick road?

We are family run business who come from a long line of worldwide traveling family members and once that bug has bitten you, it can never be cured…thankfully! Needless to say, we are carrying on the tradition and are blessed to have, and still be, traveling the world extensively!

Traveling expands your horizons in a way that nothing else can, we have come to note that as vast and as beautifully stunning our world is, we are desperately failing at keeping our magnificent planet that way for future generations to come

One commonality amongst us as a family, is that we realize that we want to and CAN, make a difference in some small way through our business….and so, Vacation With A Purpose was born
We have themed almost all of our units, each time a guest stays with us we are able to take a portion of that income and donate to a cause that’s related to that property. As an example, In our Artists Way, downtown St Pete, our donation goes toward the Autism project. If you happen to choose our Sunset Beach location, we support the Surfriders Association and so much more...

We are passionate about helping others and helping to heal our planet and we hope that you will feel that way, knowing that you too have contributed, all while having a fulfilled vacation…with a purpose!
