Hello- We are Kara & Michael Margraf. We have been visiting Gulf Shores for many years. It was our dream to buy a property and share our love of this "Small Town, Big Beach" with other families. We have created Sand Castle Stays (S-Sutton, A-Alden, N-Nolan, D-Dawson) after our 4 sweet boys. We are from Michigan and Spartan Alumni, Go Green! We love all water-Salted and Unsalted. We look forward to hosting your family as we would host our own.
