I had the good fortune of finding Enid and her bed and breakfast at a time when I needed a short term rental while my new home was being prepared this year. I cannot say enough about Enid and her wonderful, magical home. Enid is a definite reminder that life is to be lived and not just existed.
I stayed for seven amazing weeks. While my life was in upheaval and disarray, Enid's hospitality and joie de vivre constantly reminded me that whatever life throws at you laughter and love (as her home is filled with her love of life) are always the best medicine. Enid made me very welcome! While my job is very hectic, time consuming and stressful, coming back to the B & B always brought a smile to my face and a calming effect while I drove to my temporary home.
I stayed in the Jungle Room. Loved it! I always seemed to discover something new in the room whenever I looked around. The bathroom was so much fun. The theme of the room is jungle so naturally stuffed animals abounded with a fantastic hand painted mural on the wall. And in what I now know is Enid's style the mural has a story attached (ask her how she found the painter of the mural). In fact Enid's life is full of magical stories and whimsy and always to find the humour in all, even in the bad and absurd. Hence her home is filled with her ideas of what life should be.
The beaches neighbourhood and her home's close proximity to everything was perfect. I could access the public transit quite easily. And the beaches neighbourhood...well is magical....just like Enid. It's a good thing she lives there!
I found Enid's Beaches Bed and Breakfast in a local newspaper. Good thing I did because if I had read the reviews below I too may not have chosen to go. But as the saying goes "THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON" and boy oh boy am I the lucky one!!
I would highly recommend a visit to Enid's Beaches Bed and Breakfast. It is a perfect location for access to downtown Toronto and of course the beach itself and all the neighbourhood has to offer.
Thank you Enid for reminding me to not be so serious and to see the joy in everything. You were a blessing for me to find.
