    "Lots of trees to sniff Many stray cats Allowed *at* the beach but not *on* the beach Lots of friends to say hello to! "

    "Christmas boat parade in Solomon’s island every year. Lights on the boats and locals cheering from the shore"
  • Zandematenje
    "It’s a quiet and safe area, I love the water that’s surrounding us. I totally love it here!! It’s an amazing place to raise and family, everything is nearby, but, it’s a must to have a vehicle to get around. I rarely see public transportation but I was told a public bus is scheduled to service the residence living here. And the best part is Christmas, there’s always a parade of fire trucks and Santa Claus. My daughter loves it, we always run outside to watch them as they drive by our house. The summers are gorgeous here, it’s beautiful and so amazing. "
