All the good things you are reading about Jan and Dale we found to be true. Delightful people that made us feel welcome. How nice - a well-stocked fridge with everything we needed for breakfast. Even a bowl of peanut butter cups (that's the way to my heart). We loved our private patio where we chilled out, read, wrote, and constantly contemplated that hot tub and fire pit only steps away. We got to meet Belle and the other dogs who are very friendly. This place is in a great neighborhood with other craftsman and Spanish homes. Visit the little store just up the street called "Ma and Pa's" for wine, beer, and snacks. They have an honor library out front. This house is walk-able to Belmont Shore 2nd Street (shops, cafe's, bars, etc) - approx 15 minutes. We took Dale's advice and walked Saint Joseph street, which is lined with cool mini-mansions and quaint houses.
