  • We brought 3 generations plus a few furry friends. We lacked for nothing at the house and had one of the best vacations that we can remember. The house was nicely decorated and comfortable. The location had easy access to beach, pool, and area shopping/restaurants. The owners are gems and easy to work with. We will be returning as soon as we can!

  • What a great trip! The Foster's home had everything we needed for a vacation with our two-year old. Pack n' play, high chair, little table and chairs, books, movies, even sippy cups! The baby gates were very handy, as were the many beach chairs, umbrellas and sand/water toys. The beach was a short walk, the pool an even shorter walk, and many stores and amenities within walking distance. Great area, great weather, nice private beach, beautiful, beautiful home. We could not have asked for a better vacation!

  • When we embarked on the journey for our trip we hoped that it would truely be a vacation. With 2 y/o quadruplets, 3 very active and crazy monkeys plus 1 with special needs, it could have been a disaster but it was actaully very pleasant! This is because the Foster's beach cottage became our home away from home. The baby gates came in handy from keeping the little ones from playing on the beautiful wood stairs. The crib rental guy was able to squeeze 3 cribs into the kid room, so that we could keep the active ones in their crib tents while they slept just like home and not out on the prowel. In fact the kids just called the house their, "different house" and "different beds, tvs" etc. The gated back porch was a huge relief to be able to keep the kids contained and yet open enough to run around and play. As for the big people...we found the master bed to be very comfy and the room spacious. My parents, said the 2nd bedroom had a very comfy bed as well. We found everything that we needed in the kitchen to make meals. The garage storage area was well equipped with plenty of toys to choose from for both the beach and the pool. My only complaint is that there was not really any toddler toys for indoor play but then again the kids were happy playing cups and tupperwear. All in all the trip was a success and we look forward to staying here again and making it an annual vacation. Thanks for the clean and accomodating home!

  • The Foster's are great. They have thought of everything you would need for your stay. It is a beautiful home in a friendly neighborhood & very close to the beach, shopping & restaurants. We enjoyed our stay in February 2008 very much.

  • Jan. '08 We just returned from two weeks in the wonderful house of the Fosters. We had such a good time. Despite the not so good weather, we enjoyed ourselves very much. The house has everything you need and more. Very comfortable and relaxing, somebody before me wrote "it feels like the home away from home" and that is exactly how it felt to me and my sons and the friends that visited. I have already asked if we can come back next year, same time same place, and it looks like we will! I also want to add that the lady of the house is a super friendly person, who wants the guests to feel at home and she really made sure that we did. I really recommend this place!

  • Dear Cathy & Jim: I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful week we had at your home. Your home was completely (and I mean completely) furnished - and is decorated with the finest furnishings. We couldn't believe how you thought of everything from children's videos and books to beach chairs and umbrellas. It was a breeze making the reservations with you and I look forward to coming back.

  • We were thrilled with our vacation this summer. So much, that we returned one month later for Labor Day weekend. Your house was much more than we expected. It made us feel like we were at home. It is new and beautiful and had everything we needed besides our clothes! You thought of every detail, from beach towels, suntan lotion to bandaids. Also, your outside storage was filled with wagons, chairs, numerous size ice chests, umbrellas and toys. This is one of the reasons we came back. We knew we had a great house and were able to hop in the car for a quick weekend with only the clothes on our backs. We have teenagers who want some freedom and we loved the safe and secure feeling we had in the neighborhood and on the beach. It was not like a high rise where I would worry about them. We will definitely see you next year.

  • 06/30/07 - 07/07/07 Dear Cathy & Jim We want to thank you for opening your home to our family. We had a wonderful time! When I spoke with you on the phone, you told me all we would need to bring is our clothes and food. You were so correct, there wasn't a single thing I can think of that the house needs. We just loved the location, it was easily accessible to the beach, outlet malls and grocery stores. I and my family didn't want to leave. I want to thank you again for allowing us to rent your home and we hope to return really soon. Best to you and your family Michelle, Keith and kids

  • 07/07/07-07/14/07 Cathy & Jim We just returned home and wanted to say Thank You for a wonderful vacation. I knew from talking to you that it was going to be nice and we were not disappointed. You ask that I let you know of anything that you could do to make our vist better....I can not think of 1 thing! You spoil your guests from the moment they arrive....WINE cooled in the refrigerator WOW There is every game, book, video and DVD imaginable. A very nicely stocked kitchen and so many special touches in each room. As for beach items...there was nothing that was not provided..chairs, toys,floats,coolers and enough beach towels for a small army!(even a collection of beach hats).We have stayed many places over the years and these things are not provided. You have made a rental property into a warm,inviting home and it was a joy to stay there. There is not enough space to mention all the little extras that made our vacation relaxing, I was still finding things on our last day! Thank You so much for sharing your home with us.... Sandra, John, Julianne & Gabrielle
