James's house was perfect for our needs. Our daughter was getting married quietly on the beach in San Diego (where she resides) as original plans for nuptials in PA (where she is originally from) were cancelled related to COVID. The master suite provided a beautiful space for her to prepare for her wedding and allowed for gorgeous photos. After the ceremony, our small party of six (though the house could accommodate more, we kept our number to the bride and groom and their parents only) returned to James's welcoming home and proceeded to the stellar rooftop deck. We utilized the firepit and lit candles which cast a warm glow, then played music to accompany our daughter and son-in-law's first dance together as a married couple. It was a full moon that night, and the scene was nothing short of magical. At a time when we thought we were "settling" for a much smaller wedding than was originally planned, it turned out to be an intimate, wonderful day that was more memorable than we ever could have imagined. James's house turned out to be the perfect setting for this spectacular event. Furthermore, the master suite provided the newlyweds with a special place to "honeymoon" as their plan for an international honeymoon is postponed. We cooked most meals at home and found the kitchen to be bright, cheerful and well-stocked. Common areas of the house are lovely--inviting relaxation and a place to joyfully congregate, while bedrooms are spacious and bright, allowing for private time. We can't say enough about this charming, welcoming abode. Thank you, James, for providing such a perfect backdrop to a magical event, and for your nonintrusive yet cheerfully responsive style of communication!
