Testimony
In 2022 just after being married, Amber & Hunter created Host the Coast LLC. It started small with lots of big dreams that were still forming into a reality. They had to imagine, dream, compromise, and pray for what it would turn into.
Grateful for all the jobs and roles they’ve had in hospitality for over 12 years, now together & with a clear vision for what they wanted, they prayed for clarity and surrendered this dream completely to Him. After closed doors and shifting ideas, they asked for direction and for Him to make His will unmistakably clear.
Less than twenty-four hours later in April 2025, a waterfront property unexpectedly came available. They toured it that day, submitted an offer the next, and by Sunday morning, it was accepted.
What felt impossible suddenly unfolded in just forty-eight hours.
We believe Maison Mon Louis and everything growing from it is God's provision and our obedience. Every meal served, every gathering hosted, and every guest welcomed is our way of reflecting His goodness and giving Him the glory.
Host the Coast belongs to Him.
We are excited to see it shine and grow along the Gulf Coast!
