About the host
Hosted by Amber M
We are from the upper Midwest and love to visit the South. After looking for quite some time, we found our peaceful "home away from home" on the Bon Secour river, where the sun shines all year long and we're close to just about anything we may be up for that day. We want others to enjoy that same feeling of tranquility.
Why they chose this property
We love the peacefulness and abundance of wildlife - from ducks to dolphins - that we see in and around the area. It's secluded and in its own little world, yet close to the beaches, shopping, amusement park, state park... you name it, we're near it.
What makes this property unique
The modern amenities, private and secure location with an updated decor provide a welcoming and peaceful getaway.
