Welcoming Condominiums
Style and Comfort
Beautiful Home Base
You know how your home is supposed to rise up to greet you? Ours does. Our condominiums are just the sanctuary we need after a long day out. What a beautiful home base to entertain friends in, or just kick back and relax. The building has 4 condos. Two 1-bedroom/1-bathroom units on the ground level,and two 2-bedroom/2-bathroom condos on the second level. When we moved into our 2-bedroom/2-bathroom condominium in 2006, it was the first brand new home we'd ever had. That fact, more than made up for our downsizing from 2,400 to 1000 square feet. No room for clutter is a good thing! and emphasizes the importance of staying organized. Some of us are better at that skill than others.....(who shall remain nameLess) "Good job" Les is an excellent chef - another valuable skill! and one I'm happy to indulge in daily, with great appreciation...mmm. Our handy kitchen is his stage for creating feasts better than many local restaurants serve. With only 4 feet of counter space, our GE fridge and stove (and sometimes my sous-chef assistance) he has "the right tools for the job" to spin his magic.
Dining on our condo balcony with a tropical breeze, overlooking the treetops, pool and garden is a magical experience. It's a perfect setting for Sunday morning brunches or cocktails at sunset with our friends. Great times!
Another favorite part for me is the fact that all bathrooms in the condominiums have bathtubs, as well as showers. Where we first lived only had showers. As soon as the condo bathrooms were functional, me + my bottle of bubble bath, nylon puff + rubber ducky were over there to indulge in a long heavenly soak in the tub...ahhh bliss!
300 square feet on the mezzanine gives lots of space, not only for our bedroom and bathroom, but office and art studio too. The dormer window floods this level with wonderful light, and the vaulted ceiling contributes the feeling of airy space.
My computer desk, bookshelf cubes and wire-shelf filing cabinet line up for 8 feet along the north wall. There's an ideal nook at the end of the closet for my easel and some painting supplies. There's lots of room for our king-sized bed, night tables and 8'dresser. An 8' closet with triple mirrored sliding doors, provides ample storage inside and on top.
The bathroom window looks out over a green vista of palm trees, an ocean view to the north, and mountains to the south. We see spectacular evening sunsets, set in blazing skies, from this aspect.
Recently we opened our
condominiums
to
"vacation rentals by owner"
We're happy we did because we meet such interesting people from all over the world! If language presents a barrier, we engage our laptops, translating questions and answers to each other. Doesn't work for "England-ers", tho.
Thankfully, our best friends are "British, you know" and can "translate" for us - :) Great fun - forging connections with new friends, and making money doing it!.....who knew?!?!?! Return to:
