About the host
Hosted by Natalie Brooks
I’m a nurse practitioner in a busy ER by day and an interior designer by passion! I’ve always loved creating welcoming spaces and restoring historic homes. Galveston stole our hearts — from its rich architecture to its laid-back coastal charm. We love welcoming guests at Shamrock on the Shore Vacation Homes, where historic charm and modern comfort come together. We love to travel, but there’s something special about welcoming others to our slice of Queen Anne heaven. Hope you feel right at home!
