Hey, Y'all! I am a southern belle from the heart of Georgia and come from a long line of Bettys! I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 3 beautiful belles and 1 handsome beau. Home is where the Navy sends us! We have had the pleasure to live in the Hampton Roads area for over 5 years. During that time we have grown to love the coastal life. Our hope is that you will relax and enjoy Bay Lake Escape and Bay Dream Cottage as much as we do! If you are looking to escape to the mountains then we would love to have you experience the magic of Beech Mtn at Beech Bliss Condo in North Carolina! Thank you for choosing us! P.S.
