It’s all about location! Walkable to all downtown restaurants, coffee, Thursday farmers market, and commons beach/the lake. Easy to pop onto the trail and ride a bike or just walk. There is a short amount of hill walking back to the house, but totally doable since it’s only a few houses up. The hot tub was easy to use and the yard was fenced for the pup. There was plenty of rooms with TVs so parents can have a break. Standing fans were nice for the warmer days and opening the windows at night cooled the house easily. I’ve mentioned the front balcony has a baby gate or a dog gate that isn’t clipped just an accordion style, so if you have a clever dog or baby, they can easily walk around that gate and get into the street. Our 20 pound dog isn’t a cleaver escape artist so we didn’t worry.
The Safeway used to be closer to this house, but it has moved to the roundabout and during the summer they slow the traffic down to control traffic, but it’s only an eight minute drive to Safeway.
