We are a family of 4 planning a 5 month trip to Southern Europe starting in February 2018.
Our home is a 1970's one level, L shaped bungalow, well maintained and tastefully updated inside. The yard is low maintenance, however there is a lawn that takes about 20 minutes to mow. There is a large, very private deck and backyard with a newer medium sized hot tub. We are on a corner lot so only neighbors on one side, but they are retired and quiet. We have been in this house for more than 15 years and know a lot of people. The neighborhood is very freindly and I am sure people will say hello if they see you in the yard. We also have a bunch of friends with boats at the local marina in Crescent Beach so we could get you out for a day trip and some crabbing I am sure.
The house is located near 18th Ave and 144 Street in South Surrey, about 2 blocks from White Rock. The beach is about 10 minutes walk, with shops, patio restaurants and a vibrant social and arts scene. You can catch dungeness crabs from right the peir year round or just people watch.
All amenities are within 10 minutes by car, however the house is about 35 minutes South from the city of Vancouver. We are very close to the US border at Blaine WA, so cheap gas and groceries are an option. We have a couple of bikes, a canoe and lifejackets, and the use of a car could be negotiated.
