Shel went OUT of her way to make us feel welcome, comfortable and accommodated at her home! My guests and I had THE best experience and we WILL be returning! The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need and on top of that the extra amenities (outdoor shower, outdoor bathtub, beautiful yard to play in, hammock, fire pit, BBQ, etc. etc. etc) blew us away. The location is absolutely ideal- 7 minute walk into the heart of town, 10 minute walk to town beach; a quick bike ride to Champlin's Marina, the list goes on. It is also conveniently located across from Club Soda (a lot of houses on Block aren't exactly in number order and some taxi's have a difficult time if you give them an address) we would simply say "across from Club Soda!" and that was that. The "club" closes at 1am but the noise was NEVER an issue. If you are early to bed, and you have the AC running in the bedroom, you can't hear anything anyway!
There was a plethora of board games and extra beach chairs, bicycles and 'fun stuff to do' for ANY age. The kitchen is beautiful, the bathrooms were pristine and the bedrooms were straight out of a magazine. Wait until you tuck yourself in at night! Those mattresses were to DIE for!
My guests and I cannot wait to return next summer- thank you SO much Shel for the best weekend ever!
