About the host

Hosted by Gregg & Michele

Host profile image
Traveling, visiting new places & making memories together is very important to our family. As our kids grew up we decided we wanted to have somewhere we could gather together and continue to create memories. We decided we wanted to offer our home to guests so they could also gather and create wonderful memories to carry back with them. We bought a cabin in the Smoky Mountains then felt the beach calling us. Once we bought our beach house we decided to brand them together into Midori Getaways.

Why they chose this property

The sun, sand, and sound of waves has always been our happy place. We grew up near the ocean and always wanted to get back there. We love this house because it is big enough for our family to come together and close enough to walk to the beach. We love having 2 living rooms so spread out.

What makes this property unique

~5 King size bedrooms & a twin bunk room
~Gated community with onsite security patrol
~Large Resort, Lagoon Style Pool, Heated during Peak Seasons
~Beach Towels Provided
~Free Beach Shuttle to Barracuda Street Beach Access during Peak Seasons
