Hanks Haven was Heavenly!

We would absolutely recommend staying at Hanks Haven! It was the perfect home for our family of four. Its location was amazing. We loved being within walking distance from the beach but having the golf cart to ride to the pool, ceramics, tye dyeing, or to visit friends. We also loved having the washer and dryer. It allowed us to travel home with little to worry about. Communication with Dee Dee was great, and we would not hesitate to stay again!

Best Experience We’ve Ever Had!!

You WILL NOT regret booking with Dee Dee! She was absolutely amazing! She was very easy to contact if we had any questions and she was very quick to respond. She made my family feel like family instead of guests! The house was adorable and the perfect fit for our family of 6! The easiest booking we have ever had to deal with! I can’t say enough good things about this place. If you want to enjoy a stress free booking experience you definitely need to book with Dee Dee. Best decision we could have made for our family vacation this year!

About the host

Hosted by Dee Dee Hanks

Host profile image
The beach has always been our "Happy Place." So when we got the opportunity to own a home at the beach, that was only steps from the ocean, we could not resist. My husband and I are recently retired and enjoy traveling. Our beach home is a getaway and a place to host our family for our yearly vacations. We know how precious time is with family, and we want to share our home with families who want to make memories that will be cherished forever.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house in December of 2023, so we have yet to have the opportunity to share it with anyone except family. We are currently booking up fast, so we anticipate we will soon have reviews to help you decide to let us host you and your family. We have visited Ocean Lakes Campground several times over the years and fell in love with it right from the start! With all the amenities and activities for kids as well as adults, it makes it the perfect location for family vacations. Ocean Lakes is a community within itself. We enjoy riding around on the golf cart and "exploring" while making new friends. The ideal place for relaxation and fun!

What makes this property unique

At Hanks Haven, we start our mornings on the front porch, sipping our coffee while listening to the ocean waves. Then, after a long day at the beach and exploring the campground, we enjoy "chillin' and grilling" at our lighted outdoor cabana. The perfect combination for an ideal vacation!
