This was my second stay with John and Mermie. The first was 3 years ago right before the pandemic hit for only a one night stay. Since then I hadn't traveled back to So. FL. Strange as it may sound, it kind of felt like returning home. The first greeting I hear is a "Hi Richard!" as I walk up. We started talking like we just saw each other the day before (you know the feeling when you see an old friend after a long time apart). That's the way John and Mermie make you feel. So hospitable and caring.
I stayed in the little cottage for 2 nights this time. Very cozy and great for those who enjoy a bit more privacy. The wildlife garden surrounding the house makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. A bit of "old Florida". Very calming and relaxing with the swaying Spanish moss and garden flowers. The neighborhood is quaint and fairly quiet being so close to Las Olas Blvd. My home away from home.
