We loved our days in Hal and Tara's home! The entire experience was flawless and fun...from our initial communications with them, to the easy check-in process, to the adorableness of the home, to how easy it was to settle in there, to the perfect location...it was outstanding.

Their home itself is so comfortable and cozy yet feels spacious and welcoming. Lovely hardwood floors, beautiful updated kitchen and baths (updated but still full of character and charm!), amazing outdoor spaces (I'd recommend morning coffee out front and dinners out back!), a wall of books with the perfect corner to settle in and read, sunny spaces to relax, fabulous family room, super comfortable beds (including the pull-out)...seriously, it was more than we'd expected or even hoped for.

And the location! Nice walk to Seabright beach and the boardwalk. Plenty of businesses close by to grab groceries, coffee, or a meal. Quick car ride across the river to downtown. I also appreciated that the neighborhood was quiet and away from the hustle of crowds and traffic...made for great sleeping. :-)

Most importantly, Hal and Tara themselves were lovely, as were their daughters. It was clear that they wanted us to throughly enjoy our time there, and stressed that we should make ourselves at home there in every way. Because of their warmth, we were able to!

We had a blast. Really didn't want to leave. Already talking about a return visit. :-)
