About the host
Hosted by Doris Webb
My husband Billy and I have lived in Blue Hill for 17 + years with our two boys. We've lived at Water's Edge since 2016 and but our story with the property dates back to 2012. Water's Edge has a special story that we love to share with our guests and we're proud to share it with travelers from around the world. We've been renting two homes on the property since 2021. Our family is deeply rooted in the community and we love sharing everything the Blue Hill Peninsula has to offer with our family and friends. Water's Edge is a very special place to us and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. Otto our Great Pyrenees has become a fan favorite here!
