Home on the river

Introduction

We are happily retired, enjoying life on the river, but love to travel and explore. We have lived in our house for 42 years, and it’s still our favorite place to be. Comfortable, not fancy, peaceful, surrounded by nature. We hope you will enjoy it too! Pick some fresh herbs from the garden, and a vase of flowers for the table, and dine alfresco on the deck or screened porch. Relax on the pier with a good book, or Birdwatch. Look for the occasional passing dolphin or otter. Zoe will hang out with you sometimes, at other times she will do her own thing in the yard. She will be glad to show you her favorite walking routes.

Responsibilities

Zoe really enjoys a daily walk, and we do have a few plants in pots that might need some watering. You are welcome to help yourself to herbs and vegetables from the garden, and fruit from the fig and persimmon trees.

Zoe is very chill, fun and a delight! We loved going for our daily walks down the trail, on the pier and all around the large shaded yard. Her parents are a great duo who kept in communication and showed us around the large home the night and next morning before they departed. Karl and Nita’s home is the perfect space for rest, replenishment, peace and tranquility. The location is fun to hang out at the home, their downtown area and the neighboring areas too. The amenities at the home made us want to stay in and lounge, have great conversation, play in the garden or hang at the Little River. We look forward to returning again and again!

Nita and Karl are super welcoming people who make you feel right at home. Their place is very comfortable and almost feels like a retreat with the stunning water view in the back, lanai deck, beautiful garden, variety of birds etc. They live on a quiet street that's by a small forested area and farmland. Zoe is a very easy, quiet dog. She warmed up to me quickly and followed me around the house which was sweet. She loves her walks and to spend time in the yard too. We had one thunderstorm, which scared her, but that just meant extra cuddle time. I think many people would appreciate this sit, especially those looking to relax.

Zoe is super sweet and low-maintenance. Karl and Nita are warm and welcoming. Their home and property are so picturesque and relaxing, there's really no reason to venture out much. Probably my favourite thing to do was walk out on the dock, sit in a hammock chair, and watch the light play on the water. Highly recommended!

This sit was one of my favorites! This is the most peaceful and tranquil setting coupled with the coolest Zoe. We truly enjoyed our time with Zoe in her beautiful home with some amazing water views. Zoe is the sweetest, most easy-going dog to care for. She does not want much except just to be with you. She is so quiet and loves your company and some fresh air. Nita and Karl are kind and generous hosts. Their home is extremely comfortable. We so enjoyed taking in the views and the lovely gardens and frest fruit and vegetables. Great dog with a great family! We highly recommend and look forward to a return sit.
