Today, our mission was to finish the drive to Vero Beach and find a place to live. Our first stop was Pointe West. We looked at our number one choice. It was a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath two-story townhouse. Andrew said it all when he said, "Let's buy this place." He was impressed with the long staircase. We were concerned by the lack of a washer and dryer.

After checking it out, we stopped at the clubhouse to get some information and found another place for rent just a few doors down. So, we looked at it, too. It was a bit bigger, but a little too close to the lake and it had a gas stove - we really don't like cooking on gas. It was also painted a horrendous shade of orange that was just unacceptable - and we are not willing to paint another house any time soon!

Since it is Saturday, we'll have to wait until Monday to sign a lease. Back to the Dave & Cathy B&B.
