About the host

Hosted by Michelle Smith

Host profile image
We started our short term rental property journey with a Villa in Costa Rica (Tamarindo) which was quickly followed by a second property there. My family is from North Carolina and we love being anywhere near or on the water (ocean, lake, river - we love it all). When traveling we love to relax, sample local cuisine, explore nature and immerse in the culture around us so we have tried to create these same experiences in our rentals.

Why they chose this property

Riverrun we fell in love with at first site. This property has so many incredible views all from the back porch. While staying here we see dolphins almost every days, we had a visit from a sea turtle recently, we love our crabby crab friends that hang out by our boat ramp too! If you are quiet in the morning the hummingbirds will come visit as well.

My husband and sons built the firepit, benches and swings by hand in August of 2022 right after we bought the property and it makes the most amazing sunset relaxation spot!

What makes this property unique

We tried to make sure since this property is rural and there is not an excess of activities and nightlife around us that we thought of many things to do so no one gets bored!!
