About the roomies
We are a queer couple in our 50s living mostly on upper floor. Room is on ground floor. Household will share use of lower floor; upper floor space is our private space. We love low tide walks and all things ocean, sailing, sunshine, making music, travel, art, yoga, reading, spending time with friends and family, social justice activism, and community contribution. We are generally pretty quiet and are looking for roommates that enjoy nature and the peace and quiet of island living. It would be a bonus if our roommate was into music too. Our young adult kids come visit every few months, as well as friends and other family from time to time.
