A dream came true when Connie and Jim Mercer along with their daughter and son-in-law, Lesley and Eric Galloway purchased the Vineyard. The Mercers share their time between Florida and North Carolina while the Galloways live in the Vineyard full time raising their family in truly the most magical place on earth.
The Galloways are here to make sure that your experience with us is nothing less than perfect. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or needs. We look forward to getting to know you during your stay!
