O.K, Kids, It's a House Tour!

Noosa, baby.  It's the bomb. 

If you're too lazy to google it yourself, here is is http://www.visitnoosa.com.au/index.cfm/category/show/experiences/

We found an AMAZING house to rent.  Pretty much by chance.  It's tough to find furnished units to begin with, and one that is available for short term lease is even harder. To find a furnished unit for short term lease in a beach town in the height of summer?  There were exactly two units to choose from.  One was in a tired resort and felt really sterile.  The other one is the one we wound up with, and it's a beautiful, bona fide home. It had only been listed days earlier.

We met the owner by accident.  I had knocked on the door thinking the showing agent would be waiting inside, but the owner answered instead.  Of course, I seized the the opportunity to charm the pants off her (having Little J cozy in the Ergo and looking cute as all get up didn't hurt the cause).  Then, when we went back and forth via the agent, she had faces to put to the names, and ended up being flexible and renting to us for a shorter term than she had originally required.  A lovely person, really.  When we moved in, we found a sweet card wishing us a great stay in her house (she's moved to Sydney to live with friends), a set of candles, and a huge blank canvas on which to "paint our memories of our time in Noosa".   

We both feel that the house far surpasses what we thought we would find.  Scroll down for a tour.

I apologize in advance for my brutal camera skills.  Seth, if you're watching, forgive me. And, my iPhone cut me off before I could show the best part:  our wicked balcony.  So here's a still pic of the place where  we've been spending lots of our time. Now, if only the torrential downpours would stop....
