We are seeking a quiet, mature couple or person to housesit in July and August next summer while we take our two cats and camper to Newfoundland. Our semi-rural Spanish-style home has four balconies overlooking Skaha Lake, as well as an outdoor sitting and bbq area. Three beaches, strolling, hiking and biking opportunities are very nearby. Wineries are in the area. The neighborhood comprises quiet retired people. Shopping is 20 minutes away in Penticton, so a vehicle is a necessity.
The lawn is small; it can be mown in 15 minutes. The blackberries will ripen and will need to be harvested. The automatic irrigation system should be checked occasionally. Indoor plants need to be watered.
The home is not cluttered, allowing for very easy maintenance. All areas except the plant room are carpeted. Windows and balcony doors allow breezes to flow through, and there is no air conditioning. Fans can augment cool nighttime air.
Please enjoy the photos accompanying this description. This home emphasises enjoyment of outdoor living.
