The business supports local community engagement, provides flexible work for the sisters, and honors their family’s strength.

The initiative exemplifies hope and resilience in the face of adversity, bringing joy to the Virginia Beach community.
Virginia Beach sisters Megan Daubert and Mallory Clark have launched a seasonal decorating business named Beach House Pumpkins as part of their effort to empower their family following a tragic health crisis. The business, which started in September, specializes in decorating porches with festive pumpkin decorations for the fall season, aiming to bring joy and community connection through seasonal celebrations.
The idea for Beach House Pumpkins originated from a close friend who recognized the sisters’ background in wedding planning. This seasonal venture not only serves to beautify homes but also provides a flexible working environment for both women, who juggle their business with motherhood and other jobs. With services priced starting at $300, customers can select from various decorative packages that include custom pumpkin designs, specialty pumpkins, mini pumpkins, gourds, and optional add-ons such as mums and hay bales. Orders can be placed through their website, BeachHousePumpkins.com, with deliveries available until October 10.
This entrepreneurial endeavor was born out of necessity following a life-changing event for Michael Daubert, Megan’s husband. In February 2024, Michael suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while participating in a soccer game, resulting in an anoxic brain injury and significant memory loss. During the incident, he was deprived of oxygen for 24 minutes while teammates and bystanders performed CPR efforts to save his life. Prior to the health crisis, Michael was working as a residential real estate agent, a career in which he was well-regarded.
Following Michael’s tragedy, Megan obtained her real estate license and stepped up to handle the business operations of their family’s finances. The development of Beach House Pumpkins not only honors Michael’s spirit and entrepreneurial ambitions but also helps support their family during a difficult time. The sisters have a strong motivating factor in wanting to create a stable and joyful environment for their family, even amidst unforeseen challenges.
The services provided by Beach House Pumpkins are not limited to residential areas; they also offer custom displays for local businesses. The community aspect is vital to the sisters, as they are passionate about bringing people together and enjoying the camaraderie that seasonal decorating can foster. The decorated porches are seen not just as a service but as celebrations of the autumn spirit, which reflects their enthusiasm for their work.
Despite the memory loss Michael faces, he remains engaged and excited about entrepreneurial ventures, which continues to shape the identity of their business. For Megan and Mallory, it is not merely about decorations; each decorated porch signifies hope, resilience, and the importance of family and community solidarity during tough times. With the holiday season approaching, Beach House Pumpkins is poised to become a symbol of community engagement and seasonal joy in Virginia Beach.
