I think I can trust you guys but please don't quote. They are staying on the peninsula full time, woot! Ideally they'd like a larger rental that's still on the water, but for now they're staying put. And rumor has it that someone in the basement studio is moving out, so they might take that place on as well so my mom has a place to store her crap, LOL.
And just because I have to AW my parents, when they bought this, is was still styled as a 1970s show home. Split pea soup green carpet, yellow tile countertops in the kitchen, and entire bathroom in avocado green, you name it. They did a LOT with it over the years.
