We hope that all is well with you and yours. Needless to say, our week with you in March was a highlight in our lives. We LOVED Parrot Cay and South Cottage. We are quickly learning, that the more people we send to you, the less likely it is that we will be able to get the cottages for ourselves!

We were so appreciative of all the new changes in Perch, from the nice, shiny paint and new slip covers on the couch to the new sheets and wonderful reading lamps over our bed! It is always a wonderful experience to walk in to Perch and see the Hibiscus on the tables, look out at the beautiful ocean and just begin to relax! Jenny does such a good job of keeping the cottage nice and clean and seeing that everything is in working order that we can't help but have a great vacation. Thank you all so much! Dave and Phoebe always make our visit special.

Dear Phoebe, Dave, Jeff, Jenny, and Lori, We and our friends had a grand time on Parrot Cay. Thank you for making sure everything went so well. It is much appreciated. We love Parrot Cay and admire all that you've done to get it where it is today. I often think about what you all must experience living and working in such a beautiful environment each day. Then I remember I can return rather than simply living vicariously. Until the next time, best wishes for the new year.

I want to express my appreciation to everyone at Island Marine for the best vacation I have experienced. I will let you know ASAP regarding next summer’s dates. Do you have any idea how hard it was to come to the office today?? Take care and thanks again for a great time. I will see you next summer.

Phoebe and Dave, thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us. We hope to return...soon and often. We can't think of a guest house that we have enjoyed as much, and we are very frequent travelers. From the comfort of the rooms, the classiness of the decor, the books, the conveniences in the kitchen, the outdoors, the privacy -- lacking nothing, or so it seemed to us.

Hello everyone, Just wanted to touch base to let you know how beautiful it was spending our vacation on your island. It was a dream come true. The scenery , the history and your hospitality all made it special for us. Already making plans for our return.
