Thanks so very much for the beautiful space to
relax and enjoy our 2009 spring vacation. You have
attended to every detail and we appreciated
everything your home offered as well as the
surprise welcome basket! You are so thoughtful
and it shows in everything you do. Your home and
the area are simply beautiful so thanks for sharing
your home.
We played golf at Tradition, True Blue and
Willbrook, went to Brookgreen Gardens a few times
(lots of photo ops) and took the cruise to
Georgetown lighthouse, as well as some mini
excursions around the area.
Also enjoyed our yearly family cooking while gazing
out at the ocean....how often does that happen?!
And got to see the dolphins as well. It seems like
it was a long time ago since so much has happened
since then.
So thanks so very kindly, Linda. Hopefully some
day we can get back to Litchfield. I'm sorry this is
so short, but I must get back to work.
Thanks again for your kindness and hospitality.
Best to you and yours always,

Dear Linda,
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you
again for your southern hospitality and making us
feel so at home by allowing us to stay in your
beautiful home. We live in Southern Indiana and
had never been to Myrtle Beach. The trip was well
worth the wait. We loved Myrtle Beach and the
time we spent with our kids and the friends they
brought along. Especially enjoyable was the
Nascar Park and Broadway at the Beach. The
moment we arrived inside the condo our kids
screamed with delight. We brought along our
three kids ages 16, 14 and 13, and each brought
along a friend. So each teenager and friend had
there own room and this worked ideally. The four
girls were so excited!! They couldn't believe they
had their own private bedroom, tv, dvd player and
restroom with shower to themselves. The boys
were equally excited watching the March Madness
on the Plasma TV and camping out on the sleeper
sofa upstairs by themselves. The best part was my
husband enjoyed a lot of alone time since each of
the kids had their own space and friend along. We
left the screen sliding door in our bedroom open
just to listen to the ocean waves. THE BEDROOM
WAS BEAUTIFUL, TRANQUIL AND WONDERFUL. It
was peaceful taking coffee outside and just sitting
on the dock near the beach. Looking out at the
ocean it made your think about God's presence and
how he made all things. I transgress. The home
was so well supplied we didn't have to bring along
anything. We only went to the Piggly Wiggly across
the road to get snacks and goodies for our
breakfast. Thank you again for the wonderful
experience and hope we get to come back again
soon. PS I read about your home on Vacation
Rentals by Owner. I will use this website again due
the good experience I had with your home.
Thank you,

Linda,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our "girl's weekend" at your lovely condo. The style and decor was just absolutely wonderful - nice to be at the beach for a change without the "typical" beach furnishings. The beds were so much more comfortable than even mine are at home! The location was terrific, and all of the facilities were just the best, and we all had a wonderful time. Thank you for providing such a remarkable and relaxing place. The four of us will certainly recommend your unit to all of our friends, and we hope to come back someday ourselves. |

HI Linda,
We had a great week at your place. The townhouse is beautiful, very comfortable and quiet, plenty spacious for all 5 of us. The layout is really unique and comfortable. The beds and linens were terrific! Coffee pot just like at home - fresh ground beans! You were so helpful in making the arrangements, and with our many questions. The beach was nearby and beautiful as always, and the pool was also great, with two spas and a kiddie pool. We will definitely be back!

We were so very please when we walked into the condo. So beautiful and extremely clean. I felt right at home immediately. The view from the balcony was so lovely with the view of the ocean and tropical landscaping. I also received a massage from Diane Zimmerman from VERSAILLES DAY SPA in the master suite that was just fantastic. It was made even more perfect with the stone waterfall running on the dresser and soothing music in the background. My daughter and her friend were so pleased to have their own rooms that were so beautiful. Everyone having their own bathroom was a huge plus. Thank you Linda and Dan for offering such a wonderful place to call our home away from home.
Much Gratitude

Thank you for providing our family a wonderful place to experience our vacation. The boys, my husband and I enjoyed all the experiences, even the mystery of the wedding ring bouncing in a hole under the vanity and ending up in the wall..
Our 11 year old angler was at first disappointed because we could not
get a charter for deep sea fishing. But after he caught a shark from
the beach he was more than excited.
Your suggestions on dinner were wonderful. We went to the Mayor
House. Our 8 year old was so inspired by the mood in the restaurant
he stated, "I am going to use by best manners." And he did! It was
enjoyable to watch him order his own food and place his napkin in his
ap. He wanted to make sure he used the right fork and knife. And he
loved the She Crab Soup.
Our final evening we went to Landolphi's. Our 13 year old and pickest eater excitingly said, "This is the best food ever!" We ate pizza and order four different desert to share. My tastebuds are still dancing.
Again, we would like to thank you. My husband and I were able to
relax and the boys had a fun time.
We will definitely visit your lovely home on the beach again. |

| The place is fabulous. Very quiet, clean and relaxing. This is the second year we have stayed here and we could not ask for anything better. I can't remember vacations so relaxing. It's a short walk to the beach and a short drive to some wonderful restaurants. |

| My family and I spent the first week of June in the Tuscany By The Sea. This is a gorgeous facility. Very tastefully decorated. Linda though of everything. She was fantastic, always pleasant, providing information and answers to any and all questions at any time we contacted her. Everything you need is taken care of for you if you are spending the day at the beach, pool or in the villa. Pool and hot tub is extremely nice for all family members. We had a little bit of confusion on the first day and used the pool for the near by unit. However, the pool for our unit was much nicer once we located it on the second day. Beach was a very very short board walk away and was also wonderful. Beach was not crowded at anytime we were there. My entire family had a wonderful vacation and we did not want to leave at the end of the week. We made one day trip, but spent most of the time right on site. If you are looking for a very very nice place to relax slow down and just enjoy your family you will not find a nicer place to stay. Respectfully, Ray and Stacy Minor |

We spent a week in this lovely condo with our two children and our three grandchildre. It accomodated us perfectly with room to spare. Tuscan Villa is immaculately clean (we own an Inn ourselves so our standards are very high)and provides every amenity one could want. Our hostess was exceptionally helpful both in the planning stage of our vacation and after we arrived as well. The beach was wide and beautiful and the pool lovely and very clean. We couldn't have found a more perfect place for a multi-generational vacation. We hope to stay there again someday.

WOW!!!! The pictures on line do not do the
ROMANTIC Tuscany by the Sea any justice. My wife
and I spent a well needed weekend getaway here
during April 08 and was already thinking of the
next time we wanted to come back, before the
second day. You have to try the in house massage,
it was the most relaxing and romantic his and her
massage. After 19 years of vacations and getaways
with my lovely wife this one has to rate in the top 5.
Trust me when I say you wont regret it. |

| My mother, grandmother and I visited the Tuscan Villa in early Sept. 2007 and had a ball! The property was immaculate and beautifully appointed with every convenience. We found the access to the beach very easy and when we weren't lounging there we were investigating the several restaurants that Linda recommended -- my highest marks for her good taste! I can't say enough about the property's high quality and Linda's high standards. She was a truly gracious and attentive hostess, and gave us many good ideas and lots of information to assist us before we even arrived. I highly recommend this property for your own vacation rental. |

| This condo is great for those who still wish to visit busy tourist spots but prefer more open beaches. The ocean was great in early October for swimming due to the well-maintained beaches. I also did not have to swim so hard against currents like those on Pawley's Island. We spent many hours on the bike trails visiting Hunington State Park and Brookfield Gardens nearby. Linda purchased beach umbrellas and lawn chairs so you do not have to bring those with you and we really appreciated that. It was very clean and well-furnished. Linda also represented it perfectly when we spoke to her and via her website. We have been mislead on previous vacations but not here! She also provided a gas grill that we used for several great meals at home. I would recommend this property for those who are seeking a condo atmosphere that is enhanced by very nice landscaping and a beautiful ocean view from the living room. |

I do love the story that your 70 year old Dad and you rode the bike paths and swam the ocean like a couple of triathletes....and Dad was hard to keep up with!. Great memories for all!!

| We vacationed in June and had a beautiful time. The villa was comfortable and the location was perfect. My parents enjoyed their early morning walks on the beach. My daughters loved playing on the very clean and quiet beach. My husband and I enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony and reading books on the beach. Everything was great and what a pleasant surprise to be greeted with a dozen white roses as a welcome. |

| We absolutely loved Tuscany by the Sea. It is a perfect place to go to relax and just enjoy being in a beautiful condo. It was furnished so nicely, with very comfortable beds. Everything was so clean and looks brand new. The owners did everything possible for us. I think they would arranged perfect weather if they could have done so. Linda checked to see if all was well and when she found out the weather was not going to be perfect, made arrangements so our grandson could swin inside at the Resort. My husband and I can hardly wait to go back again. Thanks again. |

What a wonderful vacation we had that was due largely in part to the exquisite accommodations! The entire villa was immaculate and so very comfortable. We vacationed the week after Christmas and couldn’t have picked a better place to unwind after the stress of the holidays. You truly do feel as if you were in your own “private oasis”. It is obvious in every detail of the condo that the owner’s ultimate goal is to make you feel at home. We definitely plan to return to this “Luxury by the Sea”. Your hospitality and thoughtfulness were generous to say the least! Thank you so much for everything.

If you are looking for an elegant oceanfront vacation spot, look no further. This condo has all you could possibly want! Private, quiet, elegant yet simple, comfy yet impeccably clean.
Lying in bed that first morning and looking out the window to see the sun rising over the ocean... it made me feel very peaceful. We had breakfast out on the balcony, to the sound of the ocean, the smell of saltiness in the air.
Wandering out the bedroom door, the beach was just a 2 minute walk thru the palms, past the pool and onto the soft white sand. A wide beach where you can walk for miles. Very low key, quiet and serene, and just a short drive too the attractions of Myrtle Beach.
Of all the condos and time shares I've stayed at, in the Caribbean, Florida and Hawaii, there has been none nicer or as well maintained as this one. I highly recommend it! |
