A Pirates Paradise - Guest Comments

	Guest Comments

"We appreciate you letting us rent your house so much. We loved it, everything from the impressive DVD jukebox to the observation deck. It was so well equipped, because we were expecting a house with purely the basics and were pleasantly surprised when we saw how much the house had to offer, which made our vacation as relaxing as it could have possibly been.

Your house is beautiful, and so much fun in so many ways. The couches on the top level were a popular spot during our week, because they were so comfortable. The porch swings were also a great way to enjoy the beautiful weather, along with walking to the beach every day since the house was so close. I know that the website had pictures and listed all of the features of the house, but it really couldn't convey the coziness that the house actually had.

...our group has already expressed interest in renting the house again next year and possibly turning it into an annual trip (maybe we'll even come in winter, the picture of the house in the snow looked amazing!).

Again, this email can't really express the gratitude that we feel for you letting us use your house. It was great, in all ways, and we were sad to leave it. Thank you so much for everything, all the help you've given in the past several months when we've had questions; you have always been willing to answer even the most trivial points we brought up in the most cordial manner, and you've made this process so much easier than it would have been otherwise.

Thank you both for everything!

Sincerely,
Sammy"

"Hi guys:

We've stayed in your beautiful house a number of times now, including twice during the summer of 2004. I just learned that my brother is getting married on the Outer Banks the week of June 23, 2007. When can I book the house for that week? Our trip down for the wedding wouldn't be the same if we couldn't stay in A Pirate's Paradise. I hope your summer is going well, and thanks again for providing such a fantastic vacation spot."

"Myself and friends just got back from a fun filled week at "A Pirates Paradise". We all just want to tell you that you have a beautifully decorated home and very well equipped with everything that you would need. The sound system rocked the neighborhood and was enjoyed by all. Even Hurricane Alex couldn't dampen our spirits and the partying. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us. We are looking forward to future vacations at "A Pirates Paradise". "

"We wanted to let you know that we've been enjoying our stay here at the beach house. The house is beautiful and has been decorated so tastefully throughout. We can see that you've planned carefully for everything, and the house is so well equipped. Thank you for your careful attention to detail. We have our computer set up for use with the wireless adapter and it's worked out wonderfully. Thanks for the movies. The rec room has been a joy to use. The kitchen has absolutely everything a cook could ask for. We've rented a different place every year but your house is the nicest so far. Hoping your family has a great summer. Our summer is off to a great start."

"My husband, my parents, and my in-laws just stayed at your house last week and we had such a wonderful time. The house was just gorgeous and everyone raved about the terrific job you have done with every last detail. We were able to bring our dogs, which meant a lot to us, and they enjoyed the vacation as well. My intentions for this vacation were to relax without thinking about work or our own house (we just bought our first house), and it was a success. The is the first vacation in a long time that I did not want to end. We will be back in future to rent again. We enjoyed everything about the house, the kitchen, the toys (TV's, pool, porch swings)! Thank you for providing such a wonderful place for a family to relax and enjoy themselves!!"

"We're just back from two weeks at A Pirate's Paradise and have the highest praise for you and Seaside Realty. What a beautiful home you have. It was just like we never left our home at all. Corolla and the Northern Beaches are surely among the most beautiful areas on the Outer Banks. The house was immaculate and Seaside Realty staff were most helpful. We took an AWD tour to see the horses and I've attached a picture of a (note: she's also pregnant, a bit of good news)."

"...we had post vacation blues. My family and I stayed at your house ... -- We absolutely loved it. We have been visiting the Outer Banks for 6+ years and every year we picked a new house - just for the fun of it -- This year it was unanimous - everyone wants to return to Pirate''s Paradise. The house was spotless when we arrived. Coldwell Banker Realty was friendly and helpful. We loved the selection of movies and DVD''s. The pool was great - even the pool cleaning service lady was nice. We plan all year for this vacation - even our 2 yellow labs look forward to it - they love the "lake" and ocean. Thank you so much for allowing us to bring them along on our vacation - it wouldn''t be the same without them. My mother-in-law especially raved about how well the kitchen was stocked. I can''t say enough how much we enjoyed your home. Thanks for sharing it with us. We plan to visit again next year. Thank you again."

"My family of five (including me!) and our friends (a family of four) just returned from your VERY BEAUTIFUL house in Ocean Sands. You've thought of everything. We couldn't think of a thing that you didn't have in the house. Having stayed in other houses, there were lots of little things we appreciated: that all of the light switches were labeled, that directions for using the TV, etc were easy to find, and that the hot tub was warm and wonderful! Thank you so much for the sand bucket of goodies -- that was very nice. We had a wonderful time. Thanks!"

"We have visited the Outer Banks for the past 7 years and your home was the nicest by far. We enjoyed preparing meals in your very well equipped kitchen, gathering in the evening to watch the videos and dvds you provided and spending time by the pool and hot tub.

It was a perfect vacation. We hope to visit "A Pirates Paradise" again.

A good time was had by all!!!"

"It was absolutely wonderful. Having stayed on the outer banks a few times, we must say this was our best yet. You have certainly stocked your house well. I couldn't think of anything that was missing. We certainly hope other renters respect and appreciate your home. Thanks for a great week. We hope to return soon."
