About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I love entertaining and hosting people, we also love traveling and seeing the world. When traveling we always prefer to stay at a home away from home. Traveling this way has given us the opportunity to incorporate everything we love about a short-term rental and add it to ours. We want it to be your home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful quiet bayside community with a community beach park, large estate homes and lots, close proximity to everything you enjoy about this area, without the noise and traffic.

What makes this property unique

Close proximity to everything this area has to offer. Beaches, shopping, boating, parasailing, fishing charters, kayaking & paddle boarding, fresh seafood restaurants, marinas, crab island all within 5 miles of our location. Truly in the center of everything.
