This spacious home is located in a well-kept, quiet, safe-feeling neighborhood. It was a convenient drive to shopping needs.
The outdoor areas were our favorites, especially the pool/grilling area and landscaping. Very tastefully done!
Indoors, the home is spacious and clean, with a lovely meal-prep/cooking space, comfortable beds, convenient laundry facilities, and ample bathrooms.
Parking was great: in garage, on driveway and street parking available as well.
A few things to be aware of:
Kitchen is very basically equipped, which is understandable with the issues the owner has experienced with take-always from the property. He is very willing to provide such things as you have need of, such as a blender in our case. If there is something particular you will need, bring it along or plan to ask for or buy it, including towels.
Pool towels would be helpful. Comfy couches in living spaces would be a great addition for indoor relaxation and conversation.
Be aware of step downs surrounding the foyer on 3 sides.
Also, John stays in touch with what is going on in the exterior areas surrounding his home via cameras, so just be aware that these areas aren’t completely private.
He dropped by at the end of our stay with a bottle of California wine as a gift, which was a nice gesture of hospitality.
All in all, John’s home was a safe, enjoyable, pleasant place to stay and we are thankful we had the opportunity to stay there and make some special, new family memories.
