The Flamingo Courier©
    

The Flamingo Courier© is our occasional (maybe once or twice a year, decade??) newsletter to keep our current and future guests informed of goings on in and around A Pirates Paradise©.  If it looks funny on the screen here it's because it is formatted as a trifold brochure and it was easier to post it that way here.  


“Changes In Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes”
- Jimmy Buffett
We are doing some repairs around the pirates lair. Depending on weather and contractors we may repaint the exterior this coming year. Can you say vivid purple? Why sure you can. Actually one wall (pool side) and all the yellow trim were done last year. We'll see it may wait until 2006.

Our front door mascot Phyllis the flamingo pictured on our cover (you didn't know she had a name did you!). Anyway she is off-location for a vacation (ok, repairs) right now and should return before the full rental season gets under way. She needed a vacation and deserved it, she's been guarding the front door without a break or complaint for some 3 years now.

We would like to take this opportunity to once again express our gratitude to you and your family for choosing our home for your vacation retreat in 2004.
We hope you enjoyed staying at our home.

It was truly a quiet year and with time pressing upon us now at the holidays there isn't much to talk about. There were no major hurricanes, indeed the weather was generally fairly routine. We had wonderful renters this year and we thank you all very much for coming and certainly hope to see you in 2005!

We had hoped to add a new section to this newsletter, but ran out of time, addressing tips & tricks for enjoying the home without having to figure it out on your own. Such as how to best enjoy the stereo system depending on what you're listening/watching. Hey it's not always obvious and we'd like to help make it as easy as possible.

In closing, if you see a problem of any kind, please call our management company.  In some cases there were problems we were unaware of and, thus, could not correct.  We certainly want to provide the best we can for our guests, there is no reason you should not have a fully functional home.

So what has changed at A Pirates Paradise since the end of the peak 2004 rental season?

   Hmm, well not much it seems. We have added most of the amenities folks requested in the past and simply have not come up with many new ones lately. We are working on getting a foosball table setup. The one we acquired is more of a starter set and we may look for a better one down the road. Anyway it should be ready for use by spring.


For those who did tell us what they liked and disliked we deeply appreciate all of the comments we received from you on how we can make our home a more delightful, peaceful vacation refuge from your everyday stress. Thank You and keep those cards and letters coming!


As you plan your 2005 vacation please keep us in mind!


We're open for rentals from Mid-March to the end of November and late fall or early spring are an an excellent time to enjoy the Outer Banks! Come on down and cozy up around the fireplace and relax!  You say you can't get away for a whole weekL.  Not a problem!  We accept shorter stays at specially reduced rates during the off-seasonJ Contact Seaside Vacations for further information.
