GUEST COMMENTS:

Dear Wendy!

We had an absolute BLAST on vacation!!!  The weather was gorgeous, the beach sugar-white and your home is just lovely. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for all of the extras. I think this is the first time we've gone on vacation and felt totally at home. I adore the guest book and all of the additional local information that was provided. We made our restaurant choices based on those reviews!

Thank you again. Dario is now officially a spoiled beach dog. Seeing him run off leash and have the time of his life on the beach was the best!  Steve, Dario and I had a WONDERFUL and relaxing week. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Steph -  Madison, AL

Dear John and Wendy,
A nice, cozy, comfortable home away from home.  Enjoyed walks on the beach, nature walks and all the fresh shrimp we could!  We ate a lot of lunch out and collected some more menus for your Guest Information Book, which was very helpful by the way!

The golf was GREAT!  Playing golf in February is not something we can do on our Cape, especially this year with all the snow up there!  Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Vacation Rentals vs. Hotel Rooms

Vacation Rentals offer tremendous advantages when compared to Standard Hotel Rooms.  Privately owned vacation rental properties offer more room, flexibility, amenities, freedom and privacy than a standard hotel room for less money.  Our condos go well beyond your average lodging or accomodation!  See our amenities page!
