About the host

Hosted by Shelly Fields

Host profile image

This home was our family residence for 17 years. We raised our 2 sons here and we are now empty nesters living aboard our boat and traveling wherever the winds take us. We are happy to share our little slice of heaven with others.

Why they chose this property

Willie bought this property and the public shower houses back in the 80s and built his dream home around it. He maintained the integrity of the shower houses and the original tile is still in the first floor bathrooms today. He loves everything about the water (sailing, fishing, boating, etc.) and it was his dream to live at the beach. He then built our home around the shower houses and the rest is history.

What makes this property unique

Just an ideal location. Close to back river and ocean, but also within walking distance to the Pier and the Strand.
