We are a family of four, and we may travel with my mom as well. We love to be active and adventurous during our summers, as we are both school teachers. We also open to long weekend exchanges in the Northeast. We are looking for a family friendly, kid-friendly house and a location that has easy access to the outdoors. We did our first exchange in Newport, Rhode Island, pre-Covid and had a wonderful experience. Please reach out!

Degisim için önerdigimiz ev hakkinda
Welcome! We have a 3-bedroom 1.5 bathroom cape on a beautiful corner lot. The three bedrooms are upstairs along with the full-bath. One bedroom is our son's bedroom, which has a crib/toddler bed in it. There is a queen in our bedroom and a full in the other bedroom.
We have a full kitchen with a table, a dining room, a living room, and a family room with a TV on the first level. The house is baby-proofed, with gates to the kitchen, dining room and upstairs, and these are removable. We are happy to have our toys, high-chair, booster, strollers, etc. used by a family, and we can also put the kid stuff away if you'd prefer.
We have a private, fenced in back yard with table, chairs, a new gas grill, and a fire-pit. We have hard-wood floors throughout the house, and a pull-out couch in the living room. The washer and drier are downstairs in the basement. We also have a two-car garage with a second fridge and an inflatable double kayak.
Our neighbors are incredibly nice and friendly, and most have children, both young and in college. Our families live in the area, too.
