About the host

Host profile image
We came from living in Chapel Hill, NC for 27 years where we managed a VRBO condo. We would often take our beach vacations out on Oak Island. Recently we both retired considered where we would like to move. Our love for Oak Island and this area made the decision to move to Winding River an easy one. We are hosting on VRBO again so we can share just how wonderful it is to live here. Come visit and you too will want to live here permanently!
