About Us

   Hello! Our names are Harley and Jessie Effertz. We, along with our two young sons, live in Central Minnesota. It has been our dream for many years to own a vacation home in Florida. Well, in June of 2019, that dream became a reality.

​

     We ended up looking at this home, with no huge intentions of purchasing, but absolutely fell in love with the property and it was in the perfect location. We knew it was meant to be. So, from June until December, we flew down monthly to make improvements. From all new paint inside and out, new flooring, building a dock and the numerous other things that go along with fixing up a house, we truly have poured our blood, sweat and tears into it. We try to make family trips to visit as often as possible, but if we're not there to enjoy, we love sharing this little piece of paradise with guests. Nothing puts a bigger smile on our faces than hearing how much our guests are enjoying the home.

​

     We intentionally designed everything to be a place for people and families of all ages. This ranges from the infant accommodations, bunk beds and plenty of toys to an array of adult books, puzzles, recliners and walker. With the large, open floor plan it is the perfect place for the kids to play, but also easily maneuverable, even with a wheelchair. 

     Our commitment to our customers is our number one priority. We will always call within 24 hours of check in to make sure everything is up to standards, and to see if we can answer any questions. We are open to phone calls day or night, if a problem ever arises. If there is something we can not help with over the phone, we have an incredible property management company to come and help, located only minutes away. We really hope you fall in love with Wish Upon a Star as much as we did.
