About us
Abbie Cregan
Owner
Hello, My name is Abbie and I was blessed to be raised in this home and neighborhood and then purchased it and raised my own family in it. The home offers wonderful memories so much that despite moving to Phoenix AZ in 2015 I have kept the home that is so close to my heart. I return home many times annually to just return to my roots and sometimes re-energize. If you have ever been connected to the ocean and your roots you may just understand that.
Let me tell you about the team. They are not my cleaners and handyman but they are family and will treat you as family as well. You will be our family during your stay.
