Visit

Come spend time with us.

Choose the simple pull-out-couch setup with us or arrange a nearby place of your own. Either way, send a visit request so we can coordinate time together.

The basic package

Our office becomes a guest room with a pull-out couch, a pool out back, and time together. It’s reserved for invited friends and family.

  • Backyard swimming pool
  • Beach basics coordinated when available
  • Plans shaped around our family schedule

Your own nearby stay

Prefer your own space, more privacy, or room for a larger group? Stay nearby and join us for the fun. Three different options are below.

Staying nearby

Your own place, close to the fun.

Stay near our marina, enjoy downtown Bradenton, or wake up on the beach. These three options give you different ways to make the trip your own.

Closest to us · At our marina

Compass Hotel Anna Maria Sound

By Margaritaville

The closest of these three options to our home, and right at Safe Harbor Pier 77—the marina we use. This Margaritaville hotel offers a relaxed waterfront setting, a marina-facing pool, and complimentary breakfast.

Our boat club is based at this same marina, so staying here makes for a convenient boat day on the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of America.
