| We had a wonderful week staying at the Robinson's condo. It was very comfortable and convenient to everything. The view of the beach is fabulous - we enjoyed sitting on the balcony late at night just watching and listening to the surf. The condo is decorated very nicely. We hope to visit again soon! |

we had the great fortune to stay at ES61 the week of July 6-13, 2008. Let me tell you, its not to be missed. The condo is delightfully furnished- directly beachfront. the chairs that kathy lets you borrow along with the umbrella will save you a $25 daily rental fee from the beach services. we didn't lack for any amenities- both my young boys (ages 6 & 3) were delighted to have 'big boy bunk beds' to sleep in.
the best part of this condo is the heavenly bed located in the bedroom. its nothing short of miraculous- while i'm prone to insomnia- i slept like a baby in that delightful bed- the bed itself along with the linens made a very comfortable haven each and every night.
kathy was over the top on responsiveness and kindness with regards to emails and information. you simply cannot afford to pass up the opportunity to stay in ES61. its our new home away from home when we visit orange beach...

We just returned from our stay at Emerald Skye #61 and had a wonderful time. The condo was spotless and the view was unforgettable. Kathy gave so many great suggestions and always quickly provided me answers to any questions that I had. Thank you for your hospitality.

Hey...we just got back from our vacation at Emerald Skye #61. It was absolutely fabulous! The condo was spic and span and BEAUTIFUL!!! My mother just couldn't quit commenting on how clean it was. The views were amazing! Kathy made everything really easy for us too.. We loved the big king size bed..it was so comfortable. All the decor was just beautiful. We also enjoyed the pool and the ocean was great! I will never forget the look on my little boy's face as he was riding the waves! It was priceless!!!
I would love to go back and stay longer! i would like to stay at least a week sometime! hopefully sometime really soon! Everything was great, Kathy and thanks so much for everything!!! |

We had a wonderful & relaxing 6 nights from 9/23 thru 9/28/07 in Keith & Kathy's condo. It's pretty as well as comfortable & very well equipped. We loved it's location - peaceful & quiet. The weather was beautiful all week. Two mornings we sat on the gulf front balcony enjoying our morning coffee & watching the dolphins. Thanks Kathy for going the extra mile to make everything easy. Your recommendations & suggestions were very much appreciated. We are already looking forward to our next trip.

Homeowner Response:
I thoroughly enjoyed the communication with the Langley's and trying to reassure them that renting a condo on the beach is much better than staying in a motel/hotel on the beach. I'm so glad your first time went so well and hope that you'll continue to come stay at the beach in a condo and hope that you'll think of us, again, when you plan your next trip to Orange Beach and Gulf Shores area.

| My wife and I stayed at Keith and Kathy's Condo from Aug. 25-30th. We had a WONDERFUL time. The condo was very clean and well decorated. The sheets are very soft (especially after a sunburn). It is located RIGHT ON THE BEACH! Keith and Kathy are absolutely a pleasure to deal with and there is nothing negative I can say about our stay or dealing with Keith and Kathy. They have everything you need in the condo and Kathy will also email you a list of restaurants! My wife and I will definitely be using them in the future. |

| WE STAYED AT KEITH AND KATHY'S CONDO FROM 7-21-07 UNTIL 7-28-07. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY NICE CONDO AND SO WELL DECORATED AND COLOR COORDINATED. THERE ARE GREAT VIEWS BOTH FROM THE FRONT AND SIDE. WE ESPECIALLY LIKED THE VIEW TO THE EAST FROM THE DINETTE WINDOW. YOU ONLY GET THAT VIEW WITH AN END CONDO LIKE THIS. KATHY GOES OUT OF HER WAY TO GIVE SUGGESTIONS AND TO MAKE YOU FEEL AT HOME. THE BEACH IS SO PRETTY AND INVITING. WITHOUT A DOUBT, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A 1 BEDROOM-1 BATH CONDO DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!!!! |

Thank you for a wonderful vacation on a beautiful beach. Your condo is so well-kept and the views of the beach and water are priceless.
Kathy and Keith are wonderful to rent from. Kathy's communication and recommendations went above and beyond what renters normally receive and we greatly appreciated it all. No one in our family was ready to leave when the week was up and we will definitely be returning to this condo when we plan another trip to the area. |

"It has been said that if you have a stress-free vacation that you add 7 more years to your life. Thanks for all the added years for us. This was so nice. It didn't even matter that it rained one day. It was so peaceful and quiet around here. The bright, colorful decor just makes you cheerful! We hadn't been to this area in several years. It was much better than we remembered. Thanks for sharing your lovely condo with us. Our vacation was wonderful!"

Well, it's official! Your condo is our home away from home. We've just had our second trip in 3 months to your wonderful condo. We love the views, the location, and the comfort (of course the owners aren't too bad either).
Kathy and Keith are terrific owners that go above and beyond to ensure their renters have a wonderful stress free stay. For instance, they even brought in a larger TV just in time to watch the Alabama game....ok, so they were replacing the original TV, but we like to think they did it just for us! They did provided for us (and anyone with a small child)a safty guard for the balcony railing....we have a two year old that likes to make her mama nervous by looking through the bars.
Thanks, again, for everything. We truly enjoyed visiting with you both, again, and hope to see you before our next scheduled trip in July.

What a great place to stay and enjoy the Emerald Coast. The view was outstanding and having a corner unit is definitely a plus. Access to the beach is quick and the beach chairs and umbrella in the storage room sure came in handy and saved us from having to bring or buy our own.
The decor is colorful but not overpowering. It's just right for a beach setting.
Only a twenty minute drive to NAS Pensacola to see the Naval Aviation Museum and a quick trip to the outlet mall off the Foley Beach Express on those rainy days.
Dining was close. Zeke's Landing and Louisiana Lagniappe (just a minute or two away) were excellent.
Emerald Skye #61 will definitely be our choice for our next visit to the coast. |

We loved every minute of staying in the condo. You have such a beautiful place. Greg and I took 4 kids (our girls, neice, and nephew) and there was plenty of room. After a full day at the beach we would go up and relax on the balcony enjoying the view and watching the dolphins. At dark we would go to the pool which was also wonderful. It was such a relaxing and wonderful trip. Thanks again and save us a spot next year. |

Kathy and Keith,
What a great time we had in your beautifully decorated condo. Everything was just perfect!! Not only have we discovered a home away from home, but new friends, too. The genuine concern you showed for our comfort is almost unheard of, but very much appreciated. It is your warmth and concern for your renters that makes you stand out above all the rest.
We will be back very soon to enjoy our morning coffee with the dolphins and our evening wine with the gulls.
Sincerely,
Joel, Theresa and Mary-Scott

We've only had a couple of chances to personally meet our renters. We had a chance to meet Joel, Theresa and Mary-Scott over the 4th of July holiday. They are a very lovely couple with the most precious little girl, Mary-Scott. This family truly loves the beach and I hope to see them back very soon.

| May 3-8, 2006 We had a great 5 nights in this well-equipped, Caribbean decor unit. The corner views are wonderful! Not only was the furniture attractive but it also was very comfortable including the nice king size bed. Even nice thick bath towels! When we head back to Orange Beach area, we will definitely request your condo again. |

We had such a wonderful, relaxing stay; the weather was great, the condo was superb and the view was unbelieveable. The dolphins outdid themselves with their aerial performances, which were many!! Your condo colors are so bright and cheerful. We especially enjoyed having the east windows because it made everything that much brighter. Thanks again for your e-mails and it was expecially nice to have met you both in person. We will see you next February and March. Thanks again.
