Your spacious and welcoming home was the source of many happy get- togethers during the week we were there. We, of all our friends on Frye Island that week, had, by far the best accommodations! We used the puzzles, games, internet, satellite, children's toys, beach accessories and washer and dryer regularly. Our house in RI has much of the same colors and atmosphere as your lovely vacation home, so we really felt at home there, as I am certain all of your guests do.

What can we say? The island, the people we met, the lake, the house - it was truly a perfect vacation. We found ourselves at the lake everyday, often till sunset. We enjoyed meals as a family out on the porch (a rarity in our 'real life' of hectic schedules) and a rousing game of scrabble. We have fallen in love with this island and will certainly be back. We thank you enormously for opening your house to our family; this was truly a home away from home.

This is our 16th year at Frye Island with the entire family -- all 26 of us!! We are up to four houses now. We four were here and enjoyed your lovely home. The weather has been perfect. Today, Friday we had one of Frye Island's dramatic thunderstorms, complete with hail.
