My family, dog and I had a fantastic time at Colleen's place, while small, she includes everything that one could possibly need, right down to the salt and pepper, great details like tea, coffee, toaster and even a few healthy snacks. The private deck was my fave, it even has a little table and an outdoor wall heater so the 4 of us could eat meals out there (a plus for a tiny place like this). My other fave was that it was two blocks from the beach, and the lovely reservoir almost directly next to the house. We brought bikes, and had room to store them on the side of the house. I thought of this as a roomy hotel suite, with the space/amenities (and more) of the same. The walls (and ceilings--Colleen lives upstairs) are a bit thin, but that wasn't a big surprise for a shared house. I'd love to return!
