Thanks so much for the update on Serendipity’s move! It’s so great that the new owners were not just able to save it, but that they want to renovate both interior & exterior to match the movie.

I am so happy to see the Nights in Rodanthe, house being saved. Now I don’t have to worry about it being washed away by the storm.

I didn’t care for Simon’s house very much. It’s too plain and white, but it is a bachelor pad and bachelor pads don’t seem to look very nice.
