About the host

I grew up in Iowa and travelled and lived all over the place! Currently, I live in Tallahassee but I still root for my Hawkeyes!
Why they chose this property
St. George Island is my idea of paradise. I fell in love with Sea Gem when I sat on a rocking chair listening to the ocean and the birds. It's a perfect blend of the gulf beach and privacy. It's not a big sterile rental, but a warm peaceful home that feels cozier than its 2550 sq ft. All this and it's just steps from the sugar sand beach of the gulf for my morning and sunset walks. I fell in love!
What makes this property unique
Some of my favorite things about this Gem are the views from the living room, the table (where I work the crossword), and the fact that I can hear all the birds singing as well as the sound of the surf. If you leave the upstairs master bedroom shutters open, the morning light wakes you up to spectacular gulf views (often of dolphins passing by). The heated private pool is also wonderful (especially at night for star gazing and floating cares away).
