Philip’s house is spectacular! It is open, airy, and cheerful, with wonderful spaces for a group to gather. The kitchen is large and beautiful, and perfect for cooking meals together. The kitchen, dining and living rooms are open onto each other. The front porch and roof deck are quiet and lovely, perfect places to soak up the sun, or read a book. The master suite is large, with a lovely, large bath and fireplace. You can easily walk to the canals and beach from the house, or use one of the bikes.
I came with my adult kids, grandchild and elderly parents. The stairs were a bit frightening for my elderly mom, and the house is not well insulated for sound, which was hard with the baby. The beautiful master bedroom opens right onto the living room, which means we couldn’t sleep till everyone else went to bed for the night. That said, I was thrilled to spend Christmas week with my family, in this warm and inviting home. We hosted a couple of meals there quite comfortably, and spent the day playing music and games together. This was a memorable trip, in a memorable house!
