Coastal Homes to Reunite with Loved Ones
The magic of reuniting after a difficult year was perfectly captured in the “Sweet Child O’ Mine” short video, released this week in our community stories series that will be shared over the coming months. Anne, who reconnected with her mom and sister after four long months of separation, reflects on the beach house they stayed in, made possible by Host Geanelle. She says this kind of authentic travel feels like “you are given the key to imagine what your own life might be like if you really lived there.”
If you’re dreaming of spending time with loved ones in a coastal home similar to the beach house featured in our community story, here is a selection of places to stay near the sea to blow away the cobwebs, disconnect and reunite.
