About the host
Hosted by Leah McDonnell
We're Kyle & Leah McDonnell... a fun, laid back, adventurous, duo from Birmingham, Alabama. Owning on the beach has been a goal of ours since we were newlyweds and after 18 years, we finally made that goal a reality! We are extremely proud of our little cottage and hope that you will love it as much as we do. I was in property management for 21 years prior to becoming a Realtor, so I have the drive & knowledge to provide you impeccable accommodations & service. Kyle, who is my very own "Bob Villa" manages an ambulance service throughout Central Alabama. We have two wonderful boys, Sam & Jake. We are a true "House Divided"...Sam & I cheer for The Crimson Tide, while Kyle & Jake bleed Orange & Blue for the Auburn Tigers. When we are not working, you can find us at our cozy cottage or drinking a fruity umbrella cocktail on a Carnival Cruise Ship.
