About the host

Hosted by Sheilah O'Shea

Host profile image
Investor in Chicago & surrounding areas for the past 20 years. I choose places that I personally stay and enjoy with family and friend's!

Why they chose this property

I always wanted a getaway from the city in a quaint beach town that I could walk everywhere and enjoy the beach life...and this is my little gem.

What makes this property unique

I covet the open floor plan so everyone can be part of everything no matter if you are prepping dinner, playing board games at the dining room table or relaxing in the sunroom. Backyard has ample space for socializing and activities for all ages.
