ABOUT THE OWNERS

Relocation

You won't see Essex CT on that sign but it's about 739 miles to our left.

That's where we live now but have chosen Southport NC as a destination to spend some time in our retirement years. We visited St. James Plantation in March of 2011, and six weeks later were proud owners of The Sand Dollar.  The beach and golf facilities far surpassed our expectations.  St. James is a quiet gated community and is not age-limited.

Cottage Retreat came up as an opportunity in July 2018.  It had a bit more room than the Sand Dollar did and is suited for longer stays.

These days we travel back and forth from New England to North Carolina to get away from the fast-paced life of the Northeast to the laid-back hospitality of this Mid-Atlantic region.

Oh, by the way this photo was taken on the outside porch of Fishy Fishy Cafe, one of our many favorite spots in Southport, NC........
