Think we found 'the one'!

It's been a busy and exhausting couple days house hunting. Although tons to choose from in Doha it quickly became apparent that the type of villa we have in mind was also what many others have in mind too. After lots of research on which areas to start looking, it was a little disheartening to find out they are all full and with long waiting lists. We viewed a couple from the same developer/manager and realized that we liked how 'green' they are and how well maintained they are.

I spent day one with one real estate agent on my own while Doug had to work. Felt really good about a brand new development just about to become available. Got out yesterday with Doug and a different real estate agent who actually took us to the same place, which was nice to show Doug. We really liked the inside but it is a small compound and kind of ugly architecture. We also went to a more established area and looked at a place with it's own pool! We liked how green and lush it was, and just the feeling of the larger compound. We decided to tag along on another showing she had planned for someone else to give an apartment option a look. It was beautiful and if we had no kids, I'd be there in a heart beat. After seeing the apartment it really solidified that a villa on a compound was the right way to go. But of course after expressing interest for the one with the pool we found out it had already been taken.

But before leaving the apartment we found out there was one villa coming available on a very sought after compound and he was willing to show us the next day.

Seems like fate, like it was meant to be because as soon as we drove in we just knew. Doug called it Club Med before even seeing any of it. It's an older compound, but very popular and impossible to get in usually with a long wait list (which apparently they don't observe lucky for us). The facilities are fabulous, the pool like a resort. Because it's older it's very green, lots of trees and even grass!

It's a 3 bedroom villa with little backyard. The one we viewed is just an example, but on Saturday we'll get in to see the actual villa. The photos show the one we viewed in disrepair, but gives an idea. The outside photos are the unit we'd get though. Apparently you can plant anything or do up your backyard as you'd like and the gardeners will take care of it for you!

Very excited and so relieved to find something that matches everything we were thinking of.

Take reservations for Club Bryan now!
