About Us

Hi, I'm Nancy Kistler, owner of Blue Sky Real Estate Services, and I'm thrilled to share our beautiful properties with you! My husband David and I have been fortunate to discover two of the most stunning coastal destinations in the country – Michigan's beautiful west coast and Florida's Gulf Coast. We offer vacation rental properties in both areas because we truly believe each offers distinctive and wonderful benefits.

Two Beautiful Coastlines, Two Distinctive Experiences

Having lived along Michigan's stunning west coast and in Florida's Siesta Key and Venice areas, I have experienced firsthand what makes both destinations so special and complementary to each other.

The crisp, clear waters and charming coastal towns of Northern Michigan provide a perfect summer retreat with beautiful lakefront settings, vibrant downtown areas, and that classic Great Lakes charm. Meanwhile, the warm sunshine and pristine beaches of Siesta Key offer an ideal winter escape and year-round paradise with world-renowned white sand beaches and endless Gulf Coast activities.

Our Story with Both Destinations

Michigan's West Coast: As a resident of Michigan's West Coast, I have deep roots in this beautiful region. My work in real estate has given me intimate knowledge of Harbor Springs, Petoskey, and Charlevoix – their hidden gems, best restaurants, seasonal activities, and what makes each community unique.

Siesta Key, Florida: Our connection to the Siesta Key area spans over three decades, beginning when my parents first introduced us to the magic of Gulf Coast living. What started as family vacations has blossomed into a lifelong love affair with this incredible corner of Florida. From sunrise beach walks to sunset dinners, from fishing adventures to lazy afternoons on the world's softest sand, our family has created countless cherished memories in this area.

Our Commitment to You

Whether you're seeking Michigan's seasonal variety – winter, spring, summer, fall – or the warm embrace of a Florida getaway, I understand that vacation time is precious. I'm passionate about ensuring your stay in either location exceeds every expectation. From the moment you arrive until the day you reluctantly leave, I want you to experience the same wonder and relaxation that has kept our family returning to both of these special places year after year.

Our properties aren't just rentals – they're our way of sharing the gifts of both Michigan's west coast and Siesta Key with families who, like us, believe that the best memories are made when you're surrounded by natural beauty and endless possibilities.

I can't wait to be part of your vacation story, whether you're building sandcastles on Siesta Beach or watching the sunset over Lake Michigan.

Welcome to our properties!
