Meet the Host
Hello, we are the Herda's. We currently live in Lawrence, Kansas with children. We are excited to share our little slice of paradise with our family and guests. I grew up in Charlotte County before moving to Palm Beach County, and eventually Oklahoma, where we met and started our story! We love college football (Go OU!), playing outside, all things sport related, and most of all fishing. We are always counting down the days until we get to come back to LGI and Hideaway Bay. Until then, we would love to share this bit natural Florida with you!
Growing up, making family memories on the beautiful Gulf beaches and barrier islands of Southwest Florida leads us to want to share this vibrant slice of paradise. Come enjoy these pristine sights of natural Florida.
