My family and I travelled to CDA as I was tackling my first full IronMan. We arrived to Jo-Dee and Danny waiting to greet us and give us a tour of their home - a very nice touch!
Their home was perfect! A block away from IronMan village and transition. Who could ask for anything better for the training days up to the race and race day! It was also perfect for the family on race day as they just had to walk to the race - no fighting for parking. During the race they were able to wander back to the house for lunch and to cool down in the air conditioning.
We had a party of 5 and a pug :) their home was spacious and beautiful! The small touches really set it apart! Two bottles of welcoming wine (enjoyed after the race;), a basket full of healthy goodies, a bag of treats for our dog and a bottle of champagne to celebrate with my race! They had supplies in the pantry (coffee creamer, coffee, salt pepper, etc) that we had full access to, right down to being able to watch Netflix during down time. A spacious backyard was perfect for our dog as well as provided lots of parking and access to their gas grill.
The jacuzzi tub was a blessing after my race!
It truly is the perfect location being within walking distance of the beach, parks and the shops and restaurants down Sherman St. When our stay was over I even received an email congratulating me on my race and the time I finished.
They pay attention to the little details that make a huge difference in ones stay. They are the perfect hosts! My family and I will be back and will most definitely be contacting Jo-Dee to use this home again.

As one of the 'party of 5' (Jaimie's Mom) I can only echo everything Jaimie spoke to above. Jo-Dee and Danny are very gracious hosts and available at a moment's notice through text or phone call. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to meet them upon our arrival.
Their home was spotless when we arrived - we tried to leave it in a similar condition! Certainly within comfortable walking distance of amenities. Not a lot of opportunity to try out the various restaurants since the focus was on healthy eating & early to bed in continued preparation for race day. The one we did eventually try was wonderful - think it was called Un-chained. The listing description was definitely accurate with respect to location, layout, etc.
Lovely accommodation, very comfortable beds, highly recommend. - Linda Bojarski
