About the host
Hosted by Sharon Ihlefeld
My parents purchased this property back in 1999, it was used as a family spot for many years. After my Mom passed away in 2009, we stopped coming together as a family here and my father began renting the cottage out. I was a Chiropractor, with a practice in Los Gatos, Ca. After the birth of my daughter, I moved to Florida to help my Dad out with the property. We fell in love with the area and purchased a home in Bokeelia. When my father decided to sell the property, I purchased it from him in 2016 and have continued running it as a rental property. My family and I enjoy time here a couple of times per yet, but I enjoy renting it out and allowing others to experience the beauty of this area. I am a wife to an amazing husband who is a journeyman plumber, and the mother of a beautiful daughter. I am blessed to get the opportunity to continue the journey my parents began when they purchased this property.
Why they chose this property
This property is unique because of where it is located. The sea wall faces nothing but mangroves and water as far as you can see. It is protected land, so there will never be development out there. There is no boat traffic, it is a quiet, secluded area that the wildlife enjoys as well. Providing for wonderful sightings of native birds, manatee, and dolphins, among other sea life. Its location also provided a gorgeous sunset almost every night.
What makes this property unique
Great fishing due to its location. Native birds and sea life abound right outside your door.
