About the host

Hosted by Barb Roemer

Host profile image
Hello and welcome to our little slice of paradise at Wrightsville Beach! I'm delighted to have you here. While I originally hail from TX, I've lived in IL for 31 yrs., but my heart has always longed for the soothing sights and sounds of the ocean. I love kayaking, hiking, yoga, biking and just being in the ocean! This is the perfect setting for all of this.

The allure of the ocean's vast expanse and the serenity it offers drew me to this beautiful coastal area. There's something truly special about being near the ocean – the rhythmic crashing of the waves, the salty breeze on your skin, and the endless stretches of sandy shores. It's a place where I feel truly at peace.

Whether you're here for a vacation, a work trip, or a special family function or wedding at one of the nearby venues, my goal is to create an unforgettable experience for you. I take pride in providing a comfortable and clean atmosphere where you can relax and unwind, surrounded by the tranquility of our coastal paradise.

Being a host isn't just a job for me; it's a passion. I thrive on the opportunity to cater to each guest's needs and preferences, ensuring that every moment of your stay exceeds your expectations. So sit back, relax, and get ready for an epic adventure filled with unforgettable memories. Welcome to your home away from home at Magnolia Bay!
