English
A native of North Carolina, our wonderful lake community was our primary home for fifteen years. Now as a retired military family, and self employed, we split time between our homes in NC and FL. Crowe's Nest, our lakefront vacation home near Sanford, NC, is pet-friendly and close to Fort Bragg for military families, not far from Pinehurst for golf enthusiasts, and a wonderful place to be outside and reconnect with family. Guests enjoy amazing sunsets, lake fun with kayak and canoe, and a comfortable, welcoming, custom home.
In Pensacola, Five Flags Retreat is a spacious, pet-friendly, 4 bedroom home with a large back yard. Just minutes from Downtown Pensacola, close to NAS, and 13 short miles to the white sands of Pensacola Beach, you can enjoy all the area has to offer. After your busy day, retreat back to the comfort of Five Flags for dinner on the grill.
I hope to give our guests the little details that I appreciate when traveling. It
