About the host
Hosted by Ramona Griffin
Growing up in New Jersey, I enjoyed spending time at the 'Jersey Shore' with my friends and family. I believe this is one reason why I wanted to own a home near the beach. I'm an avid quilter, which occupies the majority of my time as my children are now grown.
Why they chose this property
What drew me to Anna Maria is the slow pace of life, great beaches, friendly people and simple life it offers.
What makes this property unique
Some of the unique benefits we enjoy while at the property are: Short walk to the beach, walking the beach looking for sea shells, sunsets (and sunrise on the bay), eating at Waterfront, Sandbar, Rod & Real, City Pier, and riding a bike to explore the island.
