👍👍 We had been looking to buy a home on Pine Island for several months. This would require us to fly down to Florida on short notice. Finding a hotel room in the area can be challenging but Jenny and Charlie always managed to get us a room! If you want to be on Pine Island, their two hotels are the bes...

🫤 Not my style of worship. No one welcomed me. Too cliche. "Pastor" and his daughter were putting on a show. All about them. No mention of Jesus.

👍👍 Did you know the Cyrstal in Shell Point is open to the public? The staff is super friendly. They treat you like family. The Chef and The Manager comes out of the kitchen to run food to the tables!

👍👍 The cold-pressed juices are delicious! The Belgian waffle on a stick was absolutely phenomenal! At first I wondered what it meant ‘waffle on a stick’, so I wanted to help explain: it’s like the shape of a corn dog, but with waffle batter. Really good.
