About the host

Hosted by Bill Ivy

Host profile image
We live in Austin and discovered Seaside, Florida in the summer of 1990. We've been back nine times since then and love all the family memories we've made there. We named our home "Almost Seaside" because we wanted to recreate that Seaside vibe of total relaxation and nonstop fun with family and friends much closer to home. It's a wonderful escape from the fast pace of the city.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this home because of its openness and amazing location. The water views are incredible, especially the sunsets. It comfortably sleeps 10, with plenty of areas to gather together or to seek out some quiet space just for yourself. After a day of swimming and boating, it's so peaceful to relax on the deck and gaze out at the water. And we're just an hour from downtown Dallas and within 5 minutes of the most popular restaurants and bars on the lake.

What makes this property unique

The colors are bright and happy. The kitchen has everything you could possibly want, and there's a large grill outdoors. The indoor dining table seats 12, and there's also an outdoor table that seats 10. It's a perfect place to reconnect with friends, or to spend fun times with your parents, kids or grandchildren.
