About the host
Hosted by Terry Lawrence
My family and I started vacationing in Alabama in 2006! We loved the area so much that we decided to purchase our own condo and decided to offer it to other families looking to make lifelong memories with their family. We love hosting families and work hard to make sure ALL of our guests have a 5-star stay!
