First time condo renters

Date of Stay: 04/28/12 Review Submitted: 05/04/12

Dear Mr. Andres. We enjoyed our stay in your condominium at Pinehurst very much. Your unit is beautifully furnished and well equipped for our needs. The proximity to the golf courses and other local points of interest was a bonus. As this was the first time we had rented a condo, we appreciated you answering all our questions so graciously and promptly. It would be our pleasure to rent it again, if possible, when we return sometime in the future. Thank you.

This condo is conveniently located just across from the Harness Track and its excellent breakfasts, not far from Pinehurst, and an easy drive from Southern Pines. It abuts on a golf course, with views out to the fairway. Hoyt and Susan have decorated the condo very attractively, and we found the essentials for our month stay already in place. The descriptions and photos on line are accurate representations of what you will find. It was clean and well-maintained, and Hoyt was easily available by phone to answer any questions we had. We found it perfect for our month stay and would not hesitate to use it again. The written guide to the condo was very helpful.

Two superb weeks

Guest: Jack (Marblehead, MA)
Date of Stay: 04/24/11 Review Submitted: 05/10/11

First impressions mean a lot when you are going to spend two weeks in a place you have rented on faith. My wife and I opened the door and entered into a clean home that never disappointed nor surprised us. It was as advertised. Hoyt was accessible and a pleasure to deal with. The Andres even prepared a booklet with lots of helpful information about the condo and the area, such as TV and DVR operation, trash collection, local restaurants to try, etc. Should you be wondering what the downside was, if any, I could mention that the location, while quiet, was near a country road with traffic that could be heard from the bedroom. But in saying that, I will also state that it was not loud enough to be an issue for either of us in sleeping. Clearly we would recommend the Andres' condo to our friends, in spite of the fact that it might make it more difficult for us to reserve rentable time in the future. And we would like to return. We love Pinehurst.

My 3 Week Stay in Pinehurst, NC

Guest: Susie (Rochester, NH)
Date of Stay: 03/09/11 Review Submitted: 04/03/11

This condo is fine for two people but too small to entertain in if you plan a longer visit and wish to do that. The decor is attractive and pleasing to the eye. Rt. 5 is a very busy road but we soon learned not to hear the traffic in the morning. The view from the livingroom onto the golf course is always pretty and sometimes most entertaining. We enjoyed our 3 week stay. The owners are pleasant and most helpful. The Chamber of Commerce in Southern Pines is your first stop for any and all information needed to enjoy your visit.

We were very pleased with our recent visit to this property. The condominium was nicely decorated, clean and had all the necessary amenities. From the deck, the view of the wooded golf course was most relaxing. The location was perfect, near: shopping, restaurants and most importantly golf. As we prepared for our first trip to Pinehurst, the owner was helpful in providing us with local information. Would recommend this property and we ourselves hope to return someday soon.

We just returned from a weeks stay at this lovely condo. Clean and bright. The weather was great and the golf was super. It was fun watching the golfers as we sat on the deck every morning and late afternoon. The condo owners took great care in making sure that we had great tee times. Anytime we had a question and we emailed them, we received a reply within a couple of hours if not sooner. We would stay at this condo again and tell our friends about it.

We very much enjoyed staying at the Pinehurst 1 Bedroom Condo. Not only was it quiet, the Race Track Restaurant was across the street where we enjoyed a good breakfast every morning with very friendly people. Having cable TV and Internet was a big advantage as we stayed from January until late March. We also enjoyed being near Pinehurst village.

Super condo in Pinehurst

Guest: Retired DMD (Germany)
Date of Stay: 11/25/09 Review Submitted: 11/29/09

My wife located Hoyt and Susan's condominium on the internet while searching the internet for an apartment in the Pinehurst, N.C. area where were planning to spend Thanksgiving this year. From the initial contact with Hoyt, after deiciding to rent his condo, he was extremely helpful providing information about driving directions, scheduling golf tee times, etc. The condo itself was immaculate, comfortable and exactly what was promised in the way of location and amenities. It fronts the third fairway of Pinehurst #5 and is about a 5 minute walk from the Pinehurst clubhouse and 10 minutes Pinehurst Village. The interior has been recently updated and is very tastefullly decorated. The kitchen is fully outfitted (range, oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, coffemaker, toaster, dishes, flatware, pots and pans, etc.). There is cable TV and DVD player, wireless internet and a telephone which can be used for local calls or long distance with a phonecard. It has two very comfortable single beds and ample closet and storage space for prolonged visits. There are coin operated laundry 50 feet from the back door. The covered terrace off the dining area is a perfect place to sit and relax with a beverage after a day on the golf course. The only negative that I noticed is that it is situated close to a busy street and vehicle noise can be a little intrusive in the bedroom early in the morning. But that was a minor problem and my wife and I are planning to return next year. It is perfect for a couple or two golfers.

Owner response:These renters loved Pinehurst so much, they bought a condo of their own. Here's the e-mail I recently received from them. Hi, Hoyt, We just wanted to let you know again what a wonderful time we had in Pinehurst last Thanksgiving and how pleased we were with you condo. We thought that you might also be interested in knowing that we were so enthused with the area that we began looking around at Pinehurst condos that were for sale during our visit and ended up purchasing a 2BR/2BA unit in Pine Valley this past June. We will be visiting Pinehurst for the first time as owners next month and then again in February and March and are looking forward to making this our second home in the future as we travel to the U.S. from Germany, where we currently live. I guess this proves the adage that "first impressions are lasting ones", as our first visit to North Carolina and to Pinehurst and the opportunity to stay in your condo were largely what influenced us to purchase a place of our own. And while we are sure that our purchase may be a small negative to your wish for repeat renters, it is because of the memorable experience we had last November that we have taken this step. Thanks so much for being a part of our decision to become part of the Pinehurst community. We will forever have fond memories of our first sojourn in N.C. We wish you all the best in the future. With Kindest Regards, Dick and Baerbel

Dear Hoyt, Well, weatherwise, this was the worst week-end for a golf vacation. Otherwise, we totally enjoyed ourselves. We felt very at home in your lovely condo. The beds were VERY comfortable, which is important for creaky old folks like us. The decor was attractive, and the location was great. We discovered the little restaurant at the Harness Track across the road and had some wonderful breakfasts there. Steve appreciated your assistance in signing up for tee time. Again, the weather was awful, but from what I understand, it never rains and it is never cold on a golf course. I liked that the condo was close to town, but not right in the middle of town. All in all, a very pleasant time, despite the inclement weather. Thank you!

We stayed here for four weeks and enjoyed it very much. The condo is well kept, tastefully furnished and very well equipped. We were amazed at all the cleaning supplies were furnished for the whole time we were there. The condo is very well located. You can get to the little village of Pinehurst in less than five minutes. There are many good restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The owners are very accommodating and helpful. When we had a slight plumbing problem we called them. The plumber arrived within the hour. I can recommend it highly.

This was our second trip to Pinehurst and our first stay in this condo. All I can say is WOW!!!! It is perfect. Added room you do not get in the resort rooms or hotels plus you are close to everything. My husband golfed 2 days. The owner helped with tee times and suggestions. I was close enough to walk to the village. I also found a new TJMaxx that was within 4 miles of the condo...So as a golf widow I was very content....Loved the view from the condo.....Cannot wait to go back... Thank You, Michelle

OK so here's the deal. You get a really nice condo that's well decorated and spotlessly clean. Wi-fi and a good TV package are also included. The view of No5 is great and you're within easy reach of all courses and the village. The owner can also get you a discount on your green fees. Everything went really well when we stayed and I'd happily use the condo again. I also welcomed the single beds - helped me focus on my golf game!

It was spotless and truly something that I have never seen with a rental condo. The condo had everything that we could ever want for the week's stay. Thanks again for the opportunity to stay in your lovely condo.

Nancy from Ottawa, Canada sent me an e-mail after she posted her comments in our Guestbook. This is what she said in her e-mail.We’ve been to Pinehurst before and have stayed in other types of accommodations - the Carolina, the Manor and also in another condo. Your place definitely provided the best value for the money.We thought your place was perfect. We especially appreciated how well stocked it was (paper products, spices, coffee filters, etc.). Although I was returning from a vacation down south I had a lot stock with me – but usually a traveler doesn’t and it makes it very easy for them to quickly get set up. The internet access was great and so was the TV. The cable package you have provided gives the viewer a lot of variety.Nancy (I like the comment about our condo offering the best value for the money of any of the accomodations - 2 Pinehurst Resort Hotels and another condo. That's what we try to do!

My husband and I had a wonderful ~week vacation at Pinehurst 1 condo and really enjoyed the great décor, and spotless housekeeping! The condo is very well furnished, with all the dishes/utensils, etc that allowed us to cook in part of the time, as well as close to great restaurants (and golf courses if interested). The front deck is a great place to hang out and have an evening cocktail/sunset, and relaxation. Would definitely stay here again!

What an excellent time we had at this condo Labor Day weekend. The kitchen has everything you need to cook.

We enjoyed staying in your well maintained condo. It was great having a view of Pinehurst #5s 2nd hole. We enjoyed having our coffee out on the deck and watching the golfers. There were two things that I wanted to bring to your attention. The first is we both kept hitting our heads on the light over the table and second is this condo is great for couples but couples like to sleep together. We would have preferred a full size bed. Also I would like to apologize for lighting one of your candles, but we lost power on Wednesday night due to the storm.

Owner response:No problem with lighting the candles. That's why we have them there. Since our condo only sleeps two people, we decided to go with twin beds. That way two "non-related" folks can be comfortable staying there - like two friends who are golfers.
