About the host
Hosted by Janie Hamric
My dear friends,
Jerry and I are so very happy when you spend your vacation with us! You are our invited guests and we want you to make lifelong memories at the beach.
We’ve been married 48 years in June of 2020. Working hard to raise and support our children, MATTHEW and JENNIFER, we expected to spend our retirement years quietly (which is not happening). In 2008, JENNIFER had twins on New Year’s Eve; a boy and a girl, Taylor and Tyler. They adore the beach and come down every summer. They are the apples of Papa’s and GeaGea’s eyes.
My darling husband knew my lifelong dream was to have a beach cottage. He made it his mission, when we got close to retirement, to make that dream come true! We looked all the way from the Florida coast to Alabama, until I saw the house of my dream . . . “Beachy Keen”. It’s previous name was The Pelican! It was perfect!
So, we were enjoying our fun in the sun, until a house came up for sale in the neighborhood. We were just talking on the porch, when one of us said “We could try the rental business.” Long story short - that became Susan’s Sand Castle I (SSCI).
We later purchased a lot, and Jerry built SSCII. After that, he needed another project, so he started from scratch, and SSCIII was born. I’ve had a ball decorating, since I want you to feel as if you’ve come home!
There went retirement, but God had other plans for us. We’ve had a ball and met some of the nicest people we’ve ever known!
So many blessings galore, and may God bless each of you abundantly!
Susan
P.S. Papa says, “There won’t be a SSCIV”, (even though our friends Shug and Fred say they are going to outgrow our biggest house!).

Why they chose this property
We found this property - at the very beginning of construction - at a time that the owner wanted to sell.
With Susan's 30 years as a real estate professional and Jerry's knowledge of construction and management - we were able to purchase this property and then completely design and decorate it based on what we knew our loyal guests from Susan's Sand Castle I would like - a beachfront house that we purchased several years before.
We then later were able to build another - even larger beachfront vacation home that's just a few miles away, called Susan's Sand Castle III.

What makes this property unique
The views of the Gulf are simply amazing and since we loved them so much - we thought others would as well.
There is nothing like a Gulf Coast sunrise or sunset!
