Mike Trzinski is a St. Petersburg, Florida native who’s spent his life living where the water meets the horizon. A lifelong surfer and boater, Mike’s happiest with a board under his feet, a tide chart on his phone, and a coastline to explore—then sharing the best local “don’t-miss” spots with guests like a true hometown guide. His passion for Florida isn’t just pride—it’s a lifestyle, and it’s the heartbeat of Maverick Hideaways.
Mike’s story is rooted in the places that make this area special. He was married at Fort De Soto Park—still one of his favorite escapes—and he’s a proud partner with Lenny Stamos at Lenny’s Surf Shop on St. Pete Beach. And if you pick up a strong “Fins Up” vibe while you’re here… that’s intentional.
Jimmy Buffett is the main inspiration behind The Salty Parrot. Every room is thoughtfully themed around a Buffett song, mood, or slice of Margaritaville spirit—easygoing, fun, and a little escapist in the best way. Below, you’ll find some of Mike’s GoPro surf videos, capturing the kind of days The Salty Parrot is built for.
Mike is joined by his wife and business partner, Jacqueline Cavalani, who has spent her entire career in the tourism industry helping create standout guest experiences. Together, Mike and Jacqueline focus on thoughtful hosting: clean, comfortable spaces, local guidance you’ll actually use, and a stay that feels like Florida—sunny, relaxed, and just the right amount of adventure.
