Bruce's home is warm and inviting. The neighborhood is dog-friendly and there are beautiful views in any direction you walk, even from the comfort of the living room couch. Layla and I met lots of other dogs when we were walking, and she was very well behaved. Layla is also a comedian. She made me laugh every day during our daily play breaks.

Bruce and Kathryn are sincere when they say make yourself at home. I was pleasantly surprised when I was shown to the bedroom with a view over the bay. Kathryn took the time to show me around the place and share the location of her favorite local thrift store. The setting is striking.. Amazing sunsets over the bay and beautiful sunrises walking along the beach. And if your into bird watching the binoculars and books are there or sit on the comfortable deck and just watch the variety of birds coming and going. Best of all you get the pleasure of Layla’s company on walks as well as when she calmly lounges from spot to spot. We enjoyed exploring and playing fetch on the beach in front of the house and leaping over waves on the Nantasket Beach. She is willing to believe she is a lap dog, but content to circle up near you. It would be a pleasure to return to Hull.

Overall, the experience was OK. However, one serious matter involved, our dog going upstairs and peeing in two bedrooms and leaving poop. Whether Karen remembers us telling her to restrict the dog or not, she should’ve checked up there and other areas of the house before leaving. This was brand new carpeting that fortunately I was able to clean.
