He’ll greet you at the door with a hug and peck on the cheek (well, he might save the kiss for the ladies). And he’ll do it again as you’re leaving. He sings. Does little dances. Talks in a thick, Italian accent. He woos his guests at tableside with flaming pizzazz that only Angelo could pull off.

Instantly, you’re transported back to your senior year in high school where that particular song serenaded you through summer, marking the moments like time bombs and you had no idea of their importance. Or maybe it’s the time you spent witnessing the Beatles revolution and even you blurred the lines between fan and groupie status, and “Hey Jude” will always make you cry.

Manasota Key is a serene little island that has some of the best scenic views on the Gulf Coast. Bungalows and Florida cottages make up this quieter stretch of beach. Here you won’t find all the hype of other area beaches, but you will find a secluded, natural and serene setting with waves and sand for as far as they eye can see. And, Manasota Key, itself, is also the home of the famous Hermitage Artist Retreat, where internationally-lauded artists of all mediums commune to enjoy the beautiful beach surrounding. They practice their arts and share ideas with other artists in a unique, one-of-a-kind venue.

Visions of slumber parties and somersaults off the high dive into a pool where they shall prune themselves for hours on end are on the minds of many young people right now. Other kids can’t wait to test their limits in extreme sports and intensive robotics camps. The kids are ready, but the larger question is, parents, are you ready?
