About the host
Hosted by Mike and Wendy Maiocco
Our full time home is in Wilmington North Carolina where we spend many hours enjoying the coastal waterways of the Cape Fear region. Wendy works in the culinary field and Mike has a hypno-therapy business. When we are not busy at work we are working in the garden, fishing on our boat, or playing in the water with our dogs, Camden and Noodle.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the Afton area when Wendy's Mom built a log home on Jessica Lane (she lives up the street!) 15 years ago. We have spent many hours hiking and enjoying all the area has to offer during all of our visits to Mom' house. We have always admired Windy Knoll and were so excited when the opportunity came about to purchase this wonderful home.
What makes this property unique
When you see Windy Knoll for the first time you will understand why we fell in love with it..... setting is picture perfect. Sitting on the front porch and looking out over the beautiful grassy landscape is truly relaxing. The sunlight streams in the windows, the wind chimes blow in the breeze, the birds sing in their trees.....
