About the host

Recently moved from SWVA to northern Kentucky. Hobbies include photography and biking. My “full time” job is being the Uber for our two beautiful and very busy granddaughters.
We are very blessed to have this condo at Kure Beach and enjoy sharing this blessing with our wonderful guests, many who have returned for their second, third, fourth and even fifth time. Repeat guests are the best and indicates we are doing the right things and doing them correctly…. Treating guests as we would want to be treated.
Certainly for us, it’s from “the mountains to the sea” in its purest form.
