About the host
Hosted by Kristen Dodson
Hi! My name is Kristen and I’m
From Tallahassee. My husband and my
Sister in-law inherited this beautifully renovated home from their Dad,
Wally. He went to high school here and ended up moving east to be with his wife… which they are reunited again.
After my mother in law passing, Wallly’s true north& his heart ( friends and family) has always been in Port St Joe and moved back. After our family coming here … We fell in love with this community, Port St Jor and have alwayd come to visit. Wr hope you love this home and community as much as we do 🥰 We named our home Skippers Beacon ( his love of the water, boating and the lighthouse that he’d look at while drinking his morning coffee on fromy : back porch.
