Kathi, wanted to drop you an email, and tell you our recent stay was fabulous. You have a lovely Beach Home, and our party was extremely impressed with everything. The Great Room and Beach Front Porch was a wonderful gathering place. Our Culinary Professionals said your kitchen was well equipped for some tremendous meals we enjoyed. The weather could not have been any better while we enjoyed the golf at Shark's Tooth, and Camp Creek. Thanks for allowing us to rent your home. I have another group of golfers coming down in October for a week; would you have any interest in renting your home--let me know if you are interested.

Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at the beach. Your beach home is beautiful and the view of the ocean is incredible. Especially the colors of that beautiful water. The house worked wonderful for all the guests and they wanted me to let you know how beautiful the house is and so comfy. We had wonderful weather only one afternoon storm. It was so fun to sit on the porch and watch it come in . . . and we had a fantastic rainbow after the rain! The guys caught 32 lbs. of fish on their fishing trip, the most successful trip so far. We really enjoyed the pool too. Everything was awesome. Thanks for sharing it with us. Have a great summer! I am keeping all your info so I can contact you about next summer. Thanks again.

Carillon and your house are wonderful. Your house was exactly as 'advertised', really a cut or two above other nice homes. Great trip . . . . We will of course consider your home again. You were a pleasure to work with. Kathi, the comments are sincere. Wish I were still there . . . . GS (July 25--Aug 1, 2009)/Chattanooga, TN

we stayed at bahama mama and banana cabana in november 2008 . . . from the balconies, the sunsets over the ocean were magnificent . . . . both beach houses are really better than the website pictures . . . loved the floorplan of the houses . . . all open and ultra contemporary . . . everything is top of the line from kitchen appliances to a big lcd tv in every bedroom . . . the surrounding communities are upscale and really reminded me of european design and culture . . . . great spot for a family vacation or a group of friends looking to split the cost . . . highly recommended !!! ds (nov 15--22, 2008)/indianapolis, in
