About the host

Hosted by CHRISTINA HURD

Host profile image
Hey y’all! My family, proud owners of this coastal getaway. We are from Springfield, Louisiana, my husband and I have been together for 16 years. Along with our two wonderful kids, we share a deep love for the outdoors, coastal life, and true Southern hospitality.

Why they chose this property

Owning a camp in Grand Isle has been a lifelong dream of my husband’s, and we have spent years searching for the perfect spot. When we found this property, we knew the wait was worth it. It sits in the absolute perfect location: right in the heart of everything the island has to offer, yet positioned just far enough to provide the quiet privacy and peaceful retreat we’ve always wanted. It is truly the best of both worlds."
