About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Duran
Fancy Nancy is not just a beach home– she’s a person and a story. Let us explain: My mom’s name is Nancy, and she was the original “Fancy Nancy!”
Probably much like your mom (or YOU if you’re a mama reading this), my mama Nancy LOVED gathering people together.
She had a gift of hospitality and a passion for loving on people. She was constantly gathering our family together to create special memories. And she taught me to do the same.
Sadly, in November of 2021, my precious mom unexpectedly lost her battle with cancer. You’ve probably experienced how hard it is to lose a loved one.
When she passed away, we were heartbroken beyond words but felt called to memorialize her in some special way. At first, we weren’t sure what to do other than cry. . .
So cry we did.
And then we prayerfully discovered our WHY. Mom was going to be our WHY behind our beach house– a.k.a the OTHER Fancy Nancy!
Because there’s no better way to allow her legacy to live on than by continuing to gather friends, family, and loved ones at the beach.
We hope our story inspires you to live each moment to the fullest with your loved ones by your side. And to take time to get away with your friends and family. Because life is just too short not to spend time at the beach! So take some time off, rest, rejuvenate. Or just sit a while and visit.
Allow Fancy Nancy to become your why, too– may you live a life rooted in love, and be inspired to leave a legacy that touches many families for years to come.
So while you enjoy a quiet cup of coffee on the balcony, see a cardinal fly by, and hear the waves crash on Crystal Beach, know we intentionally created this place with you in mind. We want you to find peace, joy, and refuge here. And make many memories that last a lifetime!
Much love,
Paul, Kim, Hannah, & Brady
P.S. We love you, Mom! We miss you so much and are proud of our tribute to you, “Fancy Nancy.” We know you’d love this place as much as we do.

Why they chose this property
Fancy Nancy is not just a beach house, but instead a personal story that represents the importance of life being too short and memories made with friends and family as being priceless. Fancy Nancy honors the owner's late beloved mother (Nancy) who cherished time with her family and friends and enjoyed trips to the beach. She wants to welcome you and your family. If you happen to see a cardinal flutter by, please take a moment to connect with your heart and think of those you love deeply.
What makes this property unique
Besides her story, Fancy Nancy is unique for our pet policy. We fully believe that your pets ARE family! Our 2 dogs are the King and Princess of our household! We have Moose, our 9 year-old stubborn but cuddly English Bulldog, and Willow, our 2 year-old shy but sweet Olde English Bulldog. With a small non-refundable pet deposit, feel free to bring up to 2 dogs (no cats, please) with you to your beach vacay. Additional pets will need to be approved by the host and will require an additional non-refundable fee. We even have all the details for your pets, like an outdoor fenced dog play area (coming in October), a full yard for running around, and dog bowls.
