About Us

We are Nancy and Paul Garneau, and we own and operate the reservation service.

There was a cable television program on the Fine Living channel called Radical Sabbatical that tells the stories of people who have left their mostly high-pressure careers to follow their dreams and do something - to them - more meaningful with their lives. We took our own  radical sabbatical in 1993, moving from suburban Washington D.C to the small town laid back Forida Keys. Nancy, who has an M.A. in psychology, was selling real estate. Paul, who has an M.Ed. in education, was working as a project manager for McDonnell Douglas on the Space Station Program. Now, Nancy has primary responsibility for reservations, and Paul handles advertising and accounting and helps out with reservations when he can. When we are not helping people with reservations, we care for our home, garden, marry people, travel up and down the Keys, and spend time on or near the water. 

We are physically located in Marathon in the middle of the Keys. We started the business in a quaint conch house on the Overseas Highway, but now operate via the Internet and toll-free voice lines from an office in our home. While we sometimes still miss the personal contact of visitors coming to our storefront, our current business approach gives us more time to get to know you - even if it is by phone or Email - and ensure you are receiving the best service possible. It also gives up more freedom to get out into the community to visit our client businesses. We have actually gotten quite good at responding to reservation requests from the car. Besides, we can always get together at the local cheekee hut for happy hour.

From the store front to home to a motor home. That's the plan, anyway. We want to relocate from our current home to a home on wheels, travel throughout the country, and expand our services to other destinations, places that are paradise to others.
