Poet, gardener, mother, and world traveler, Carol brings a thoughtful, nurturing presence to every home she designs. Inspired by Shakespeare and the natural rhythms of life, she believes that comfort is more than a feeling — it’s something you create through beauty, warmth, and connection. Guests in Long Beach often enjoy fresh veggies from her garden, homemade meals, and cultural touches that reflect her love of language (she speaks bits of German, French, Spanish, and Japanese!). Her daughter runs a local juice shop - Bring Me Juice.com - with deliveries available to the Long Beach property. “Every stay tells a story, with Carol Houst behind the scenes as a most responsive host.”
