I moved to North Carolina from Brazil in 1997 to help my twin sister, a young widow, care for her niece. I have lived in Raleigh and Wake Forest since. Today, I share a home with my husband - Alec ( New Yorker born), my 16-year-old daughter - Molly, and 2 cute dogs, an adorable cockapoo - Louie, and a cute Yorkie - Oliver, who is absolutely my passion.
In 2018 ( my husband and I) decided to sell a long-term rental property and buy a vacation rental. This way, we could still own a rental but have the opportunity to enjoy it.
We started looking at the entire coast of NC. My first search was in Emerald Isle where I have visited with friends - a calm area but I bit further from home. Then Carolina Beach - a very busy area but closer to home.
My Fabulous agent sent us this property, and we fell in love. It's in a calm area like Emerald Isle and close to home, like Carolina Beach.
