Santorini, the best of the Greek Islands, is dotted with classic Cycladic architecture—think white-washed buildings topped with blue domed roofs. Clear blue water, fresh seafood, black beaches and stunning sunsets fill the day to perfection. September and October are two of the best months to enjoy Santorini. Enjoy a little escape to the sea with …
We all need a dreamy get-a-way now and then. How about a little trip to the Greek Isles? Maybe a café on top of a mountain and shopping in a stone village would make for a lovely day—or maybe you are the history buff and need to see it all. The temples, churches and Islands …
Hidden down a narrow lane and landscaped to perfection this Crush took my breath away…wow, just says it all. The large corbels, classic white paint, side entry, red-domed standing seam red roof, brick columns…charming. Every detail is perfection. Those corbels anchor the red roof and create a large overhang just perfect for hot summer days—and …
A weekend on Isle of Hope means long golf cart rides and walks down the bluff. Every house is another House Crush…you will recognize a few. Charm, beauty and history are everywhere you look along the long narrow drive. Live oaks intrude on the road, and the carts and cars just move to the side—beauty …
What do you do for a 95th birthday…plan a party of course! Someone had a very special birthday after Christmas and needed a special luncheon to celebrate. The location was Savannah—on the water, the food was her choice—crepes and oysters and the flowers could not show a hint of the holidays. Blue hydrangea are her …

STOP the car…I found it! I am still loving this house on St Simons Island, Georgia. Friends and locals all thought it was on East Beach. I looked for days, and even ask yardmen and builders—nothing. Then while looking for real estate, you know me, there it was right in front of me. This charmer …
Join me on another get-a-way break to Savannah this weekend. Forget all of the Zoom calls, homeschooling and 24 hour a day work interruptions and just turn that phone off for a while. Enjoy a quick trip to my favorite little island near Savannah—Isle of Hope. Smell the salt in the air, feel the ocean …
Beach and marsh views available for rent—I wish. This lovely house would be a perfect Summer vacation home. It faces the marsh, but is across the street from the beach. It sits on a large corner lot and has a guest house out back—perfect. The porches on this home would be the perfect locations for …
I love this place! The Market Sea Island is actually on St. Simons Island in coastal Georgia. It’s half retail and half local gourmet-to-go. The Market‘s coffee is smooth and amazing—most important to Mr. P—the food is delicious, and the service can’t be beat. They have an incredible breakfast selection, and lunch is made-to-order …
