PREPARED PRIVACY
Our studio is ideal for those seeking privacy and tranquility. Relax in your own resort-like suite without the crowds and hassle of hotels. Our sunny first-floor studio features high ceilings, a full kitchen and a cozy ambiance. During warmer months, enjoy a meal sitting under an umbrella in your private, fenced-in, porcelain tile patio. Couples, solo travelers, outdoor enthusiasts, LGBT and business travelers will find a home away from home. Free WiFi included!

ACCESS TO YOUR STUDIO
*Your first floor studio has no second floor above it, and no basement below it. There are no stairs. From the street where you park, it is a 100-foot walk along a concrete walkway to reach your studio.
*Your space is a completely private studio that is separate from the rest of our home. There is no access to your personal living quarters from the main part of our home. There is only one entrance to your studio through a walkway on the side of the house. The studio, which includes a fully equipped kitchen, large closet and private full bathroom, is in a secluded corner of the property, and the patio in front of the studio is for your personal use only.

SUSTAINABLE ECOFRIENDLY ACCOMODATIONS
Forty solar panels adorn our home's roofs, including some that can be viewed from the front of the property. All of our electrical appliances and outlets fully run from solar energy year-round. Excess kilowatt hours compiled during the summer months are utilized during cooler winter months.

We also encourage recycling and conservation of resources so that energy is not wasted.

POOL & GARDENS ACCESS
Guests who book from June 20 through September 5 may have access to our gardens, fish pond, cabana and saltwater in-ground pool for an additional fee of $25 per hour. Access to our gardens and pool will be only during times when your host is on the premises as our private grounds are monitored by your host. Therefore, enjoyment of our pool and gardens will be during days and times that are mutually agreeable between guest and host.

Parties are prohibited. Staying overnight guests are not permitted to invite their friends and family to our home and pool. However, other guests of your host might also enjoy our pool when you are poolside.

Glass bottles and containers and not permitted in the pool, and consumption of alcoholic beverages poolside is not permitted.

Entrance to our personal grounds is through a gate adjacent to your private patio. Once you leave your private patio, you are also likely to meet our dogs Abigail and Penelope, gentle, friendly golden retrievers. They are not permitted on your private patio.
Our private pool and gardens are behind locked gates, and your access, as such, is limited. You cannot plan your vacation around spending all your days poolside. That being said, a number of our guests have enjoyed spending time poolside. It's a matter of matching days and times that work for everyone!

HOST AVAILABILITY
I give my guests space but am available when needed. Just ask and let me know your needs.
Laundry service for your personal items is not available on the premises. There are several local laundromats and dry cleaners in the neighborhood.
