The perfect house swap
Our whole experience in dealing with Doug and Leslie was a 100% positive one. Their home was exactly as we had imagined and hoped for, the location was superb and they left us all the information about the area and facilities that we could have hoped for. We absolutely loved the whole experience, had a few exchanges of email with Doug and Leslie during our stay to our mutual benefit and we can only really say that we had the most marvelous holiday and Doug and Leslie were superb hosts and we were only sorry that we never got the chance to meet them. We would highly recommend their house for an exchange. Jim and Dinah

We are a married couple with two grown children, both married, and four grandchildren. Doug retired in 2008 from teaching physics at the local community college. Leslie retired at the same time from a local hospital medical library and education department, and has since enjoyed writing. We are non-smokers with no pets, and have enjoyed 26 previous exchanges in France, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Ireland and Australia. All were very successful and we are happy to provide references.
We enjoy hiking, biking, paddling, sailing, nature and the outdoors. And, of course, good food and friendly people :-)

Unser Heim
Beschreibung unseres Tauschangebotes
Bright airy home with garden spa in quiet park setting on beautiful Monterey Bay. Short walk through park to beach, and easy drives to San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Monterey, the Napa Valley wine country and the Sierras including Yosemite and Lake Tahoe. Of course, the entire California coast is spectacular!
Our three bedroom home is modern and comfortable, with high vaulted ceilings and many windows. The downstairs master bedroom has a queen-sized bed and attached bath. The two upstairs bedrooms (one with double bed, one used as a study) share a second bath. Our peaceful garden includes a spacious redwood deck, welcoming hot tub (spa), and comfortable cedar swing.
We are looking for one or more 2- to 4-week exchanges in the UK and/or France in Sep/Oct 2022. And if you have something interesting to propose for 2023 or beyond we are also eager to hear from you!

Nachbarschaft
Beschreibung unserer Nachbarschaft und Gegend
Our home is on a private, dead-end street with virtually no traffic and friendly neighbors. A 5 minute walk out our back gate takes us through a park to a cliff overlooking the ocean. From there a trail winds down to a wide, sandy beach where you can jog, walk or swim and enjoy the waves and pelicans. And maybe dolphins!
Although it feels very rural our home is only minutes away from excellent supermarkets, shops, cafes, bakeries, movie theaters, restaurants, attractions and numerous outdoor activities. While our address is officially in Aptos, we are closer in both distance and spirit to Capitola, a charming beachside community. Capitola, like all of Monterey Bay, has a very casual atmosphere and friendly informal culture.

Was wir bevorzugen
Was wir mögen und was nicht… Dies sind unsere Wünsche und Hausregeln.
We're open to both simultaneous and non-simultaneous exchanges. We strongly prefer to exchange cars except for nearby exchanges. We prefer to exchange with other retired couples but we will entertain offers from families with 1-2 well-mannered children (note however that they would have to share a double bed).
We have 2 bicycles that you are welcome to use.
We use home exchange agreements for all our exchanges so there are no surprises. Our home will be clean when you arrive and your home will be clean when we leave. We will take excellent care of your home and car and will expect the same of you.
