About the host
Hosted by Stacey Porter
I am originally from this area, but I now live in FL. My husband & I love the water and the beach, but we also enjoy our time in the forest. Being a retired military couple I understand the need for a relaxing retreat or stop-over. I like knowing that as a host I can offer that retreat to others.
