Chuck's Sandy Gulf Escape - Walk to the Beach! Golf Cart + Bikes

I’m a mother of three, an adventure seeker, and someone who finds joy in the little things—like mushrooms on the trail and chasing the sunset. I was born in Puerto Rico and now live in Tallahassee, Florida. I'm a proud graduate of both Florida State University and Colorado State University.
I love to run, paddle board, kayak, hike—basically anything that lets me be outside, breathe deeply, and feel alive. Nature is my playground and my reset button.
I’ve written three books and continue to explore life through creativity, movement, and meaningful connection. I believe in living fully, loving fiercely, and making space for beauty wherever I go.

The neighborhood is quiet and designed to encourage slowing down—whether that’s cruising in a golf cart to Windmark Village to grab pizza at Bruno’s, catching live music at The Mill, or strolling the boardwalks that lead straight to the beach.

What I enjoy most is how I can simply disconnect. I love waking up to run Old 98, walking the beach and taking the paddle board when the water is like glass. We enjoy taking the golf cart along Old 98 to watch the last light fade into the Gulf. The neighborhood t’s family-friendly with a community pool.

For me, it’s a place to breathe. I love sitting on the porch at night, listening to the sounds of nature, watching the sunset.

What sets this home apart is the heart behind it. This isn’t a cookie-cutter beach rental filled with generic decor and stiff furniture. Nearly every piece in the house was chosen with intention—many made by dear friends, gifted by family, or collected over time. There’s a story woven into every corner, from the artwork on the walls to the handmade touches that carry both history and love.

The furnishings were selected not just to look good, but to feel good—plush seating you’ll want to sink into, beds with cozy mattresses, and soft, high-quality linens that wrap you in comfort. This is a place meant for real living, not just weekend stays. Whether you’re curling up with a book, gathering around the table for dinner, or lounging after a long day at the beach, the whole home is designed to help you truly unwind.

It’s not just a rental—it’s a sanctuary. A place built for connection, comfort, and memories.

When I’m here with my family, this is where we exhale. We play cards on the couch, sip coffee on the patio, and ride the golf cart just to chase the last bit of sunlight. It’s where we reconnect with each other and ourselves—and my hope is that every guest feels that same sense of peace and belonging.
