For this troika each family immensely enjoyed themselves. The surounding beaches are full of wild life, the Gay Fish Co. has excellent seafood and between the ocean & the pool each child got waterlogged at some point (8 in total). The adult drink of juice was the Mohito. We celebrated my 43rd birthday here and look forward to celebrating more. The walks on the beach in the morning were great, and we enjoyed the great views of Hunting Island.

Thank you very much for the use of your lovely home. Our families had such an awesome time together! The cousins got to share some wonderful time together making everlasting memories. We thoroughly enjoyed your well-equipped kitchen and the decks. The decks are a perfect place to get into the word! What a blessing this week was! Thanks again, and may God bless all the families that enter your beach home!

We had a spectaclar experience in your cottage on Harbor Island. In the morning, our early risers would get their cup of coffee or tea and go out on the deck of the main floor. The view combined w/brilliant sun rises and the smell of coffee gave us a relaxed feeling. Sometimes the atmosphere felt similar to what it would be like in some of the countries in Africa. Our family very much enjoyed your regal dish ware. The bikes and the golf cart were very helpful for moving around the island. Sometimes around sunset Emma would ride her bike areound the area and it made quite an impression on her about the beauty of nature. The game room was entertaining and the view from the south made it possible to see beaurty no matter from which angle or place one stood. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in this cottage and experience the breathtaking beauty of Harbor Island.
