About the host
Hosted by Brian Grizzard
My family has always loved the ocean. For most of my life we spent our vacations on North Carolina's Outer Banks, but the crowds got too big and the vacations I remembered from my youth were no longer possible. In 2006 I accompanied a friend to Gwyn's Island and that day I knew I had found what I once knew when visiting the Outer Banks as a child, a small town with quiet beach. I purchase my first property on the island that same day and have never looked back. Our children grew up visiting the island and we have made increasable memories. We hope you and your family will enjoy 116 Mad Calf as much as we do and build memories that will last a lifetime.
Why they chose this property
We built incredible family memories while at our first property, but, as our family grew, we wanted more space. Its hard to find beachfront property for sale on the island, but in 2017 we were lucky enough to find 116 Mad Calf Lane and we are so glad to be able to share our home with others. Gwyn's Island is a special place, unspoiled by the hustle and bustle of the more commercialized beaches. When you drive onto the island you might feel that when you cross the bridge, I know I do. The stress of life will leave you and will know you are entering a special place.
What makes this property unique
I believe the privacy, the large grounds and private beach are the best features of the house. Plenty of room to be with family or to spread out if that is your goal. There are 5 deck/patio areas as well as a roof deck where groups can gather to give everyone a special place to visit. The ocean is at your fingertips and the gently sloping sand beach offers easy water entry. The covered Gazebo is nice at night and if not at the beach we enjoy watching TV and playing ping-pong in the detached garage.
