Letter From the Lifestyle Team EDWIN ROSA YOUR LIFESTYLE MANAGER

Happy New Year! Welcome to the very first edition of the Esplanade at Starling Lifestyle Magazine! I am beyond thrilled to share this exciting milestone with you all. As your Lifestyle Manager, it is my privilege to help bring our community together and make every day here unforgettable. This publication is more than just a collection of stories and updates; it’s a reflection of who we are, a vibrant, connected, and ever-growing community that thrives through shared experiences and unforgettable moments. Inside these pages, you’ll discover Member Spotlights, local business features, and glimpses into the Lifestyle that makes Esplanade at Starling such a remarkable place to call home. Looking ahead, I’m especially excited for the grand opening of our new Courts, gathering to watch the big game, and enjoying an evening of bourbon and fine cigars with neighbors that become family. These moments are what make our community so special, a place where laughter, connection, and celebration are always at the heart of what we do. As we turn the page into a new year, our focus remains on creating opportunities for connection, fun, and lasting memories. Together, we’ll make 2026 a year filled with joy, community, and unforgettable experiences.

TEAM SPOTLIGHT / SPA

Zach Douglas YOUR SALES MANAGER

A

s Esplanade at Starling’s only Southwest Florida native sales manager, Zach Douglas brings a uniquely local perspective to luxury living in Punta Gorda. Born and raised in Fort Myers, Zach grew up immersed in the world of real estate, developing a deep appreciation for quality home construction and the vibrant lifestyle that defines our region. Zach’s passion for high-quality living led him to partner with Taylor Morrison and their renowned Esplanade brand, where he proudly helps bring a sense of class, comfort, and elevated design to the Punta Gorda area. His commitment to excellence and community shines through in every interaction, making him a trusted resource for future homeowners seeking the perfect blend of luxury and lifestyle. When he’s not serving his community, Zach enjoys spending time on the water, fishing Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor for snook, redfish, and tarpon. His close second to fishing is golfing up and down Florida’s beautiful west coast, where he finds both relaxation and inspiration. With deep roots in Southwest Florida and a genuine love for the area, Zach is honored to help others find their dream home in one of the most desirable communities in the region.

PET FEATURE / ESPLANADE CONNECT

Furry Friends Meet Troy

LOVED BY ANTHONY & EILEEN CARABALLO On April 12, 2015, a tiny bundle of fur named Troy entered our lives, a Cavapoo with the perfect mix of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel sweetness and Poodle smarts. For years, our kids wished for a dog, and when Troy finally arrived, he brought endless love and laughter to our home. With his soft curls, expressive eyes, and wagging tail, he instantly became everyone’s best friend. Whether offering quiet comfort on tough days or bursting with joy during playtime, Troy has a way of making every moment brighter. He loves belly rubs, long walks, and keeping watch from his favorite chair. Ever alert, he takes his “security duties” seriously, proudly announcing every visitor with a bark. Over the years, he’s grown from a playful pup into our loyal companion, an inseparable part of our family story. And the story continues, our furry family has grown! Stay tuned for updates on Annie the cat and Mia the French Bulldog, Troy’s new partners in fun.

Have a Pet you Want to Feature? Contact your Lifestyle Manager, to be featured in the next edition of the Lifestyle Magazine. Answer a few questions about your furry, feathery, or scaly friend and share a couple pictures. Don’t have a furry family of your own, but know a community Member who does? Nominate them to be the next Featured Furry Friend. Contact the Member to suggest the feature or your Lifestyle Manager at Edwin. Rosa@TeamEsplanade.com to nominate anonymously.

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT / A LOOK AHEAD

Kathy & Dave Mancini The Members of our community are truly what make this a wonderful place to live. In each edition, we will spotlight a Member, couple or family to showcase the amazing people that call our community home. If you would like to be featured or want to nominate another Member, please contact your Lifestyle Manager.

A

s the very first Members of the Esplanade at Starling community, Kathy and Dave proudly chose their forever home from many possibilities. Formerly part of the Punta Gorda snowbird migration, they decided that maintaining a residence in Michigan was no longer for them and knew Esplanade would be the perfect place to settle year-round. Dave, once an avid Harley-Davidson rider and Black Diamond skier, has retired from those high-adrenaline pursuits, as well as from his nearly lifelong career as an Executive Officer for an international financial services corporation. These days, he enjoys spending time on the golf course and in his cucina preparing delicious recipes from San Marino, a country within Italy where he holds dual citizenship. Kathy is also retired, having worked in Operations Management for the same corporation. Her passions include the arts, with a special focus on design, glassblowing, and watercolor painting. Together, they’ve enjoyed more than 20 years of retirement filled with family, friends, travel, and activities that promote health and happiness. Kathy and Dave are excited to meet their new neighbors and build lasting friendships as this beautiful community continues to grow.

WELLNESS / COMMUNITY STEWARDSHIP

New Year Renewal: Cultivate Balance, Clarity & Calm

J

anuary marks a fresh beginning; a chance to reset your mindset and nurture your overall well-being. As the new year unfolds, focus on creating space for balance in both your body and mind. Start by simplifying your routines and setting meaningful intentions rather than rigid resolutions. Think progress, not perfection. Refresh your mornings with mindful rituals like deep breathing, journaling, or stretching before you start your day. These small moments of mindfulness help center your thoughts and boost focus. Stay connected to your inner calm through meditation or quiet walks in nature, even brief pauses can bring peace to busy days.

W

Support your body with nourishing foods that comfort and energize. Seasonal staples like citrus fruits, root vegetables, and leafy greens provide essential vitamins and help strengthen your immune system through the winter months. Pair that with steady hydration and quality rest to maintain energy and emotional balance. Don’t forget the importance of connection, laughter, or a simple meal with others. Positive relationships are one of the most powerful foundations of wellness. Let this season be about mindful living, steady growth, and renewed purpose. Embrace each day as an opportunity to care for yourself from the inside out, because true wellness starts with how you feel, not just how you look.

Help Backyard Wildlife inter is here and it’s a perfect time to spend a Green Hour® helping backyard wildlife thrive throughout the season. Many of the beneficial insects, birds, and small

animals in your backyard may find it harder to find shelter, water, and food in the coming months. You can help by simply placing a shallow dish of water in a sunny spot in your backyard. If you place a container on the ground, add a rock or two near the edge to help smaller creatures crawl out. Keep the containers clean and refill when low.
