About the host
Hosted by Virginia

Love all things sunny and bright. Sea sounds and aqua water soothe my spirit. When I travel, I seek a sense of place not just a room with a view. Married my best friend, Charlie, who shares that same desire. Our Aqua Pelican is large enough to share delightful days to the sights and sounds of the beach.
