About the host

Hosted by Kivoney Mehrer

Host profile image
Hi,
I’m a local healthcare provider who believes deeply in caring for others, both professionally and personally. When I’m not working, I love spending time outdoors, enjoying the water, and making memories with family.

Hosting is something I truly enjoy because I treat guests the same way I’d want to be treated on vacation; with comfort, thoughtfulness, and attention to the little details that make a stay special.

I created this space as a peaceful escape from everyday life; a place to relax, reflect, and reconnect. Whether you’re here for quiet mornings, coastal adventures, or quality time with loved ones, my hope is that you feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at home.

Thank you for choosing to stay! I’m honored to host you.

Why they chose this property

Millville, DE offers the perfect balance of peaceful coastal charm and easy access to adventure. I love that we are just minutes from the ocean, that it’s an ideal home base for beach days, boating excursions, and tee times on nearby championship golf courses.

We love that we can enjoy the calm of a quiet town while being close to everything; from the shores of Bethany Beach, to boating on the Indian River Bay, to world-class golf at Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club, Cripple Creek and Salt Pond.

It’s a place where mornings start slow, sunsets feel special, and every day gives us options — relax by the water, explore the coast, or simply unplug and enjoy being present.

That’s why we chose Millville:
close to everything… yet wonderfully removed from the noise.
