We had a wonderful family vacation from cousins to great grands and had a fantastic time!! Everyone will remember for a lifetime. Both of our son-in-laws are in the military and one family will be leaving for overseas for four years so this was even more special. This beach house is AMAZING. Everyone was in awe. It is very well equipped and you seemed to have thought of everything. Thanks for sharing and making this possible. God bless you.

We all enjoyed your fabulous house! The weather was fabulous this week! Awesome beach time! Very much appreciated the game room, multiple refrigerators, as weel as the fabulous furnishings. Just like home--but warm! The kids enjoyed the pool as well as the beach.

We too like all the other families that have stayed here were totally in awe when we arrived. This beautiful place was way more that we expected. We were in need of nothing. We are here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary so for me I'll never forget the day the little grandkids came back from a walk on the beach and were so proud to show us their sea shells. I looked down to see this beautiful 3 layer flat "footprints" shell. I had goose bumps thinking how this was so meant to be.

Words cannot describe how much this week has meant to me and my family. I began looking for a beach house in September of 2009 for my wedding. I came down here and found several houses but this is the house my parents picked. On Sunday, Setember 5, 2010, I married my best friend of 9 years on the beach in front of this house. Thank you so much for allowing our families to come together for such an occasion. This is a beautiful beach home and we truly enjoyed it. On the day of my wedding after the "I do's", my 78 year old grandfather in a wheel chair found a nickel where I was standing. He gave me the nickel and explained the significance of it as I watched tears roll down his face. I then realized that the nickel was made the year I was born (1984). I believe that the significance of the nickel and the name of the house "Footprints in the Sand" were 2 gifts from all of my loved ones who were in heaven looking down on us that day. I will never forget "Footprints in the Sand" and what it means to me and my new husband....Thanks again!

This is undoubtedly the best house. Ever. We had a girl from Louisiana here who gets to go home twice a year. When it was time to take her to the airport, we practically had to sedate her to get her to leave the house. We had to drag the kids to get out of the sweet pool and my hands are pruned from the hot tub as I am writing this. Thank you very much for being kind enough to lend us your home. It truly was amazing and I will take many memories for a long time from this. Many thanks.

Special thank you for sharing your home with us. When my mom called me in January and said they found "the house", we all became very excited. She said "it is named Footprints in the Sand".....tell me that's not a GOD thing. Unfortunately, she passed away a few weeks later (2/16/10) from her battle with cancer. So this trip has been very surreal for us and my dad. I brought her picture and set it on the kitchen bar all week so she could delight in seeing her grandkids, nieces, nephews, and children delight in all this magical place had to offer. A friend once told me that when my children are laughing, be still......because she is there. May God bless you!

We started out with a small group of 7 but thankfully ended up with a perfect group of 15 ranging in ages 70 down to a couple of 1 year olds. We all agreed that this was a fantastic, restful, peaceful, and FUN-filled beach vacation. This house is very roomy, the pool is lovely, and of course, BEACH access is awesome!!

In the year of two thousand and ten, The twenty of the "MAINES CLAN" came again, To Myrtle Beach for sun, fun and sand, Our footprints we left in the beach so grand. From sixty-seven to an impish age three, We lounged in the hot tub; we frolicked with with glee. We fished; we ate; we had lots of rest, The home that you lent us was just "The Best". The sunrise, the sunsets were breathtaking, The sunshine and blue sky were memory making. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home And thank you for reading this silly little poem! We have stayed at many beautiful homes here, but this one was truly our favorite. We hope to return with our four children and their spouses and our ten grandkids!

We were so happy to be able to visit your beach home with your mother and family. I have never been to a finer place in all of Frank's beach trips with his family. He has never stayed in a finer "hotel". We appreciate being able to come so much. We have enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets, the walks on the beach, the great shell finds, the wonderful meals and snacks provided by you two and the wonderful seafood eating at Sara J's. Thank you for allowing us to take all the wonderful pictures that I will share with you. Got some great shots--even though Mamoo wouldn't tip over her chair into the sand again and let me catch that scene. It was great having Bob drive us around to see the sights and Frank enjoyed sitting on the porch and the marvelous view of the beach and ocean. Ya'll are like family to us and we love your mom, Annie Laurie, so this was like being in heaven. Hate to leave! Thank God for the perfect weather. P.S. The homemade peach ice cream was great! We will be back to collect on the strawberry ice cream next time.

We would like to say thank your for sharing your amazing beach home with us and our family. God has blessed you with this home just like God has blessed us to stay here. It was like living a dream--sunsets, sunrises, laughter of babies and family and friends gathering. We will always cherish the memories here forever! Our big day was absolutely the most beautiful day ever. It was everything we dreamed and imagined it to be. This was like Paradise and a touch of heaven all in one! God bless you and your family! You all have a sharing heart and you both will and are going to be rewarded for this...

Thank you so much for shaing your beautiful home with our six families. There were 12 of us and we had a great time. God was watching over us and gave us good weather and fellowship. From the rat race up North, this surely was a piece of heaven. We are all hoping we can come again next year. P.S. All our friends who visited us were green with envy.

We have just returned from our 2nd Thanksgiving family reunion in this amazing house. I can't say enough about how wonderful everything is! We are so impressed by the owners' attention to detail and the numerous amenities offered. We have been renting in the Grand Strand area for about 11 years, and this home is, by far, the best! We'll be back!

We had an incredible time at your house. It was my parents' 50th anniversary and they treated us to the week. It was simply lovely. Your house is beautiful and a great place to relax. There were 15 of us, including 7 children. We loved every inch of the beach and pool. The older "kids" really enjoyed the porch, watching the ocean every minute we could. We were all awake early every day because we didn't want to miss the beauty of this house. Thanks you and hope to be back again.

This is the second year in a row we've had our family reunion here in your home. We gather from as far away as Texas to just "hang out" and catch up on each other's lives. It makes this gathering place EXTRA special to know God's presence abides here. We pray the Lord will continue to bless you abundantly--not only for your generous spirits in sharing your home with others, but also for your unashamed proclamations that it is through His grace that you are abe to do so. The Lord bless you and keep you.

It made the trip feel more special! He is good! We hope to come back to this amazing house in the future.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us this past week. We felt God's presence when we first pulled into the driveway last January. Our family has enjoyed this week, all 18 of us! We thank God for people like you that believe in a risen Saviour. We will be praying tht God will provide this house for many years so people can visit and see how God has blessed all of us. We are planning to come back next year this same time.

Outstanding experience in this house. Very decorative but with a personal touch..We are sorry that we could not book for next year.. it was already taken.
