Hi! Weโ€™re your hosts, Joe & Josie, owners of Hernando Hideaway. Weโ€™re a husband and wife team, originally from Northeastern Pennsylvania. We invested in Hernando Hideaway (our first vacation rental property) in 2021. We spent a year fully renovating the home, and weโ€™re truly excited for this new adventure! We had our sights set on coastal property in an area that still had a small town feel. We fell in love with Hernando Beach, FL for the fresh seafood, the boating community, the locally owned restaurants, and of course, the weather. We are parents to a young son, thus we are passionate about creating a welcoming, safe, five-star, family-friendly waterfront vacation experience. We live in Tennessee with our son and two dogs. We love traveling and can't wait to travel more, once our son is older. Our favorite travel destination is Italy. We are foodies! We enjoy trying new restaurants and wines. We love connecting with guests from around the globe. Please donโ€™t hesitate to reach out with any questions. Weโ€™re sincerely happy to host you and weโ€™re knowledgeable about the area. Weโ€™re confident that you will love Hernando Hideaway just as much as we do!
