The Flamingo House is a fine venue if you are interested in a few days away from the hustle of the city. It’s close enough to town (if you can avoid the traffic) but seems far away when drinking a glass of wine while sitting in the Adirondack chairs on the back dock. David’s place is small but functional; the kitchen has all necessary items to make a meal, the bedroom and full bathroom are clean and functional, and the washing machine and dryer come in handy after a few days on the road. Understand, though, that the main reason to stay here is the location on the dock in the marina, the calmness of being on the water and rugged charm of the floating house. Somehow your blood pressure just goes down after arriving and settling in.
Walking the neighborhood and looking at the other floating hoses was fun and the neighbors were friendly. The ducks came to say hello to us on the back deck in an inquisitive way. The airplanes do fly over often early in the morning and in the evening as the home is in the flight path of the airport, yet somehow the location and quirkiness of the place offset the noise. If you want a fun, safe comfortable adventure, this is a good choice.
