I love my house and I love my beach and I love my neighbors; I just don't play There anymore and the rent is due in relentlessly each month. Much of my time spent in There was goofing off on the beautiful beach in front of my house. This Hermit street is almost unknown...there might be 10 houses on it total, and only 5 of those are on the sand. It looks out into the same bay as Crab Rock. I almost thought this beach was nicer than the new ones on Motu, simply because it is much sunnier...there is minimal fog and the sand is bright. There are one or two other beaches on Ootay, but they are packed and over-crowded. Hermit beach is truely made for private hermits.
I don't know if I have ever told the complete story of how I got the house...here goes :)
In early beta, all the houses were gone and there was no way to get one. I found this beach, and I wanted to live there no matter what. At the time, I think the top price paid for a house was around 60k. I emailed everyone on Hermit beach and asked "Would you sell your house for (corrected this from when I found originral story...it was 100k T$ or $60 US)." People thought I was crazy since no one had paid that much for virtual crud in There yet. A few months later the market went crazy and that price was considered cheap. After I emailed the 5 current owners...2 wrote back and said "ok, I'll sell". Mary Poppins and I bought houses right besdie each other! It was so cool. Cytra of There In Person now owns Mary's house. :)
At the time there were no deeds. We had to do it the old way where you delete ownership and regrab it fast in auctions. Mary's house worked, in the middle of my auction, some girl grabbed my house. :( I thought I was out $60 and was so completely sad. The girl showed up luckily and we pleaded with her...she was kind and gave the house back. I think I plopped a brick when I saw my house go to someone else. lol
The beach is a great beah for buggy jumping. Many of the old There Frisky stories were recorded right in front of the house on the beach.
More stories and a few more pics of it at So There.

This is one of the rare times you can snag a beach house, at auction, no reserve. Catch a tan, surf the waves, and enjoy your new beach home! This is a 14 day auction. I am very curious to watch it unfold since the housing market has been so slow and people always ask for insane reserves. I hope the auction is popular. :)
