Perfect Beach-y Retreat
Review Submitted: May 18, 2009

Used the FB Treehouse for a week-long writing retreat and it was perfect. David, the owner, was a generous and welcoming host. I liked that most everything in the house (including the wood of the house itself) is recycled and much is handmade or repurposed. It gives a very cozy eclectic feel. Yes, it is rustic, but also very clean and comfortable too. You feel as if you are borrowing a friend's house for the week. Appliance-wise, everything in the house worked fine (toaster, coffeemaker, tv and DVD player, washer & dryer). Writing chi was very good and I also got some good relaxing in as well. Lots of birds singing and trees rustling. Rain on the metal roof is wonderful. The light in the day time is great and created a superb working ambience. High speed internet worked well and a nice little writing table satisfied my needs. For fun in the sun, the Treehouse comes with lots of toys like a volleyball, frisbee, bikes, and my favorite-the boogie board). In the evening, it is very quiet and being on the river side, is tucked nicely away from the noise and partying that happens downtown and closer to the beach. This is the ideal place for a beach retreat for a singleton or couple who crave peace and quiet. Beach is super short walk straight down the road, and "downtown" is a 10 min stroll away. The host is very good and I got the sense he really cares about people relaxing and having a good time during their stay. A wonderful value overall and I will definitely return!
