Well .....  I just bought my first kayak (15') last week (a Cape Horn Lite) 
and I live in a townhouse with no garage.  So, where is my beautiful shiny 
deep red kayak (with black trim - gorgeous !!) - in my living room, of course.

As you say, I can sit in the evenings and admire it.  Visitors are a bit 
surprised, but my friends know me well enough so they don't blink at all.  
One neighbor, who has a crawl space under his townhouse, offered to store it 
there - horrors !!!!  I politely declined.  Another friend who lives a mile 
away has a large garage and offered storage there.  I will probably take her 
up on that - eventually.  

For now, the beauty is a prized member of the family.  My dog and 2 cats are 
intrigued - one of my cats likes to sit in the cockpit - on the seat - or 
curl up in front of the foot braces.  The dog just barks at this strange 
animal every once in a while - although she is getting used to it and pretty 
much ignores it now.
