About the host

Hosted by Karen Lugo

Host profile image
I have owned and managed my own vacation homes for 23 years. Started with beautiful ski homes in Big Sky, Montana. Many of my guests are repeat and referral and are also long-time friends! I want my home to be a wonderful backdrop for making the kind of memories that I have created with my 7 grandchildren at the beach. We love cooking, grilling, swimming, and enjoying the beach together.

Why they chose this property

I considered over 100 homes before choosing Villa Emeraude. Then I hired a general contractor to take the home apart and rebuild it. We redecorated and remodeled. I found this home so appealing for my extended family of 15 because of the large and roomy gathering spaces and spacious bedroom-bathroom combinations. And, all the outdoor terraces features offer al fresco dining and coffee or cocktail sipping opportunities everywhere!

What makes this property unique

It took me just over one minute to walk to beach gate down the sidewalk with 3 y-o grandson. Villa Emeraude sits on a corner lot that provides more privacy than many homes in beach neighborhoods. Everyone has space to relax and enjoy the views! Dunes is a very special neighborhood with a U-shape gated cul-de-sac of homes that share beach access.
