Palmetto, Florida · a mid-century smart house

A retro-futurist tropical paradise
for the whole family

A mid-century pool house with a brain, twenty minutes from the Gulf. Three en-suite bedrooms and a bunk room, a screened pool, a game room, a kitchen out of a magazine — and a house that turns the lights down when you say good night.

Say good night.
The house takes it from there.

Paradise Homestead is a mid-century house that grew up to be the one the Jetsons were promised. An AI concierge runs the lights, climate, pool and door — and talks to you like a person, by text or out loud.

Keyless arrival
A door code texts you the morning of. No lockbox hunt.
Pool, pre-warmed
Tell it 84° from the airport. It's ready when you are.
Scenes, not switches
"Movie night", "sunset on the lanai", "everybody up".
A local in the walls
Ask which beach is calm today or where the tacos are.

A sleepy river town, twenty minutes from the Gulf.

Palmetto sits on the north bank of the Manatee River — taquerias, a riverfront park, and beaches an easy drive west. Exact address is shared after booking; the map shows the area, not the house.
