Comments: Maggie, I wanted you to know we are checking out of "A Garden Cottage" tomorrow morning and have truly enjoyed our stay. We want to thank you for allowing us to stay in your home this week. It's VERY clean, close to everything, (including the beach) and perfect for our family with 2 small children. Your rental company was very helpful as well. We look forward to staying with you in the future! Thanks again for a wonderful vacation! April 3rd 2009
