We had a great week at Ian's home, for all the same reasons previous guests have mentioned - proximity to both the Lighthouse beach area and downtown, yet in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood. His home is very pet-friendly and also quite close to Mitchell's Cove Beach where dogs can romp off-leash before 10am and after 4pm - a big plus for our lab, Toby. The kitchen is equipped with anything you might need to do any level of cooking during your stay, and the cushy couch for watching TV is great. Ian was very responsive in all of our communications, and when a death in the family threatened to derail our planned stay at the last minute, he was compassionate and understanding beyond my expectations. Ian is a great host!
