Well, 1st we had the pleasure of meeting Lynn, who is a gem. She wanted everything to be so right. And it was; there are basically 3 lovely sitting areas outside, all filled with flowers, bird feeders, and seashore decor. Lynn was out every morning watering those flowers. Beautiful. And it's true, you can open the curtains in the morning, and see all that calmness around you. The house was set up so that there were 2 sliding doors that would lead you outdoors to more color. We are not technology oriented and Lynn took the time to show us how to work the TV in the living room. She left us pods fpr the Keurig that lasted all weekend, and a box of donuts that didn't make it quite through the weekend, with our sweet teeth. Lynn didn't bother us at all; she said she never goes into the renter's apartment while they're gone. Lynn is personable, funny, hard-working and does just about anything to make your visit the best you've ever had. And the apartment (well, first floor of the home) is bright, cheery, and very comfortable. You could stay there the whole weekend and be happy. Also, the location is terrific; close to everything. I would recommend the Shaggin' Dog Chalet to anyone who really wanted to feel like they were away from home and get relaxed really quick. Thank you for everything Lynn. You are the best!!!! Pat Craver
