About the host
Hosted by Ivy Brothers
I'm a grandmother who loves to travel. I'm from a large family, love the beach, love to read and spend time with friends. My husband and I bought this home to create loving memories with family and friends. We were able to do that, and now we want to give that same opportunity to other families. There are so many wonderful things to do just minutes away. Or maybe you just need a secluded spot to have a quiet weekend. We want to provide a home away from home for you.
