About the host
Hosted by VALERIE DORSETT
I have enjoyed many great visits and made many happy memories with our children over the past 37 years at Oak Island. Our 4 children partially gave us the inspiration to name our home '4 All Seasons'. The other reason is because, with them, we have enjoyed all four seasons of the year.
By profession, I am a recently retired neonatal nurse. I worked 40+ years at a local hospital. Being retired I look forward to spending more time at the beach and volunteerimg in the community. I have been a leader with the Boy Scout of America for over 30 years. I enjoy a variety of handcrafts and collecting. Shell collecting being one of my favorites!
My husband has recently retired from the US Postal Service with over 40 years of continuous service. His passion is reading. He loves a trip to the pier to watch the sunset over the ocean.

Why they chose this property
We started going to Oak Island over 37 years ago. It was not long before my husband and I realized that we would love to have a second home on Oak Island. We loved the family atmosphere, and the less commercialized area offered at OKI. We love how close it is to so many awesome activities but mostly we enjoy relaxing and spending time with our family. Sometimes just a little getaway by ourselves is most welcomed. Actually this is the second vacation home we have owned at OKI. We started out in a smaller home and as the family grew we decided to build this home.
What makes this property unique
Our home is about 6-8 blocks from the beach. A short walk or bike ride will have you at it's sandy shore. Convenient free parking is available at several areas if you go by car. Sometimes we enjoy area attractions and within a hour drive you can be at several other beaches which offers lots of shopping, entertainment shows, race car tracks, water slides and the like. We find browsing in the many antique shops, in nearby Southport, like going down memory lane. On lots of Saturday mornings we can't wait to go treasure hunting at the many, easy to find, yard sales. We enjoy a few quite minutes simply sitting back on a bench at the Oak Island pier watching the sun set. While my husband enjoys just relaxing in the gentle breeze at the beach, just listening to the calming sounds of the ocean waves, and our children play in the sand or surf in the beach, I enjoy looking for shells. There's no telling how many wonderful shells I have found. I have learned many of their common names. My favorite, and not so hard to find at OI, is the 'baby's ear' shell. (Maybe because it reminds me of the babies I take care of.) We also enjoy every season and holiday at the beach. I am fair skin so I'm not one for laying out in the sun much. It is no surprise that I would also enjoy cooler months. Can you imaging Christmas at the beach? It is so surreal to see the twinkling of Christmas lights at the beach. Our children have had many a visit from the 'Easter Bunny' at the beach and participated in the annual community Easter Egg hunt at Middleton Park. It is also great to start out the New Year at the beach. Of course, any time through the summer, Memorial Day and Labor Day are great too. Lighthouse tours are available and what fun we had on the Ghost Tour in Southport. Mainly getting away from the worries and woes of home is the one of the main draws to drive to Oak Island. It's our sanctuary and a dream come true!
