About the host
Hosted by Briana D'Alessandro

Hi, I’m Briana! I live next door with my dog, River, and love Wilmington’s food scene, beach volleyball, and coastal charm. You might see/ hear me in the yard or using the garage to access my car, but I fully respect your space and privacy. I’ve created The Chestnut Retro Retreat as a cozy, nostalgic spot to relax and recharge. River and I look forward to hosting you!
