About the host
Hosted by Naomi Van Steelandt
I'm a former R.N. who decided to care for people on the wellness end of the health spectrum. I love historic property, design and architecture....and animals!
Why they chose this property
Only 1/2 block off Duval Street, conveniently located to shopping, stores, restaurants, music, bars...this historic home and neighborhood belonged to Bahamian settlers from the 1800's.
What makes this property unique
The former home of a Bahamian family, I have lovingly restored the property to modern standards. The rear bedroom is built over the historic cistern that was used in the early 19th century by inhabitants.
