Boots was born and grew up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and has lived here his entire life. His family arrived here when the area was known as Spanish West Florida, before it was the United States. Currently, Boots and his family own several small businesses in the area. OD’s Liquor store and JD’s Daiquiri shop are both nearby. Boots is also active in local politics and currently serves as a City Councilman for the city of D’Iberville.

Boots married his high school sweetheart, Gwynn and together they raised their three sons. Gwynn is also a lifelong Gulf Coast resident with deep family roots in the area. Gwynn is proud of her Croatian heritage and has been a member of the Slovian Lodge her entire life. Gwynn also is a small business owner and has operated the Diaz Insurance Agency for many years.

The home is situated on land owned by the Diaz family for nearly one hundred years. Boots’ Grandmother built the house in the early 1970’s after Hurricane Camille devastated the Coast. They have decorated the home with memorabilia from family and friends who all remember when movie stars and world famous musicians flocked to the Coast for fun and relaxation.

Together, Boots and Gwynn are excited to share their history and knowledge with you in order to make your stay on the Mississippi Gulf Coast fun and memorable.
