Jill,
Thanks so much for opening up your condo to us for one night! It's truly a gem of a place. The views off both balconies are great! And it's just a short walk to the beach. We loved the place so much that we brought dinner in - Thai and sushi to go with our surprise bottle of wine! Thank you!
We really enjoyed our morning coffee relaxing on the back balcony watching the boats and the kayakers go by. It was hard to leave such a memorable place, but WE'LL BE BACK!

Jill & family!
Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us this week! Our 5 & 7 year old had a wonderful time. Even with rain and cooler temperatures most everyday, the children felt at home and was content to be at the condo. They even wanted to just get food and go back to the condo to eat.
They were thrilled with the basket,books, games and puzzles which was a great beginning to our vacation.
Everything was so comforting from the living area ammenities, the close easy access to the beach, being able to do laundry :o) , to the beds in which we all got a peaceful nights rest each night.
I will most certainly suggest your condo to anyone coming in that area. Knowing now that your condo is there, I don't plan on waiting another 13 years to visit Carolina Beach!
Thank you helping make our 19th year anniversary and family vacation a wonderfully pleasant stay! |

Everything was great. The kids always enjoy the little surprises that you leave. This is our second time and we plan to visit again next year. It feels like home away from home. Thanks for another great vacation! And thanks for being so polite and honest - I feel like I am talking to a friend when we start making plans to visit the condo.
(Third visit qualifies for one free day - that's $107 discount!)

We had a blast! The weather was hot but beautiful, the condo was perfect, the beach was perfect, and the pool was perfect. We even made some new friends who invited us over for crabs on Saturday evening. We met them in the pool one afternoon, discovered we were all from Maryland and hit if off.
The gift basket was awesome - we came to a quick halt as soon as we walked in the door and dug through it like a bunch of little street urchins scrounging for pennies, "Oooh, look at this! Swimmies! Wine! Cookies! Yaaaay!" :-) It's a great way to start a vacation.
We took the kids to the aquarium this year and to the Children's Museum in Wilmington. Both are terrific. John and I took the ferry over to Southport - very nice little town. I had shrimp 'n grits at a restaurant called "Fishy-Fishy." Would definitely recommend both as I'm practically drooling thinking about it.
Thanks for putting the lattice along the bottom of the deck rail in front. That little extra bit of security is reassuring.
OK, I can't think of anything else to tell you, except, "curse you for hi-liting Britts donuts in your restaurant book!" ;-) - they are soooooo good! We made several "Britts runs." Thanks again for sharing your lovely beach home with us.

What can we say?? Home! I don't want to leave. The view is wonderful - our kids really enjoyed themselves. If we ever come back to Carolina - we know where we'll be staying! So nice and refreshing AND economical!
Thanks for the basket, quick responses to questions - Everything!
The pull-out bed - SO comfortable - I need that at home. We loved it!! Very memorable! Thanks!

Thanks so much to the Hunters having such a super place by the beach for us to enjoy time with family. We loved all the amenities that were in the condo; we lacked for nothing. The weather was beautiful except on Wednesday, when it rained. But that gave our bodies a rest and gave us time to do the aquarium and a 1000 piece puzzle. The pool was terrific to go to after all day at the beach. We went to several restaurants that were highlighted in the dining guide. Our favorite was Michael's. The Thursday night fireworks were an added bonus for an evening's entertainment. Thanks for your hospitality and the basket greetings and note. It's a lovely beach.

Jill and family,
We had a fabulous time. We will miss waking up to the ocean - what a wonderful view! Ah, and thanks for the fabulous weather - I know you must have put in a good word with the "Big Guy Upstairs" =)
Can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for letting us use your wonderful beach house. we had an amazing week. The welcome basket was so sweet. (the aloe was much needed =) It was such a relaxing and homey house. Even on the rainy day we managed to take advantage of all the condo had to offer. We want to come back and are so sad to be leaving. Thanks for opening up your home away from home to us!
Thanks again, Todd, Maria, Katy, Mark, Jai, Chris and Bryan

I just want to let you know about our wonderful vacation week at your condo. We had a great time and the children
(3 1/2 and 2) became devoted beach babies. By the end of the week they were going under the waves and standing knee deep with no fear. We were fortunate and had great weather all week.
We loved your place. It was comfortable and cozy and was plenty roomy even when there were 6 of us a couple of nights. The kids loved the pool, too, even though we didn't use it that much. By the time we finished at the beach we were all pooped. We used the front deck constantly. It was big enough for the kids to run around and enjoy themselves and we all had fun watching the fishing boats in the morning and the pelicans all during the day. I set up chairs and beach towels and the children had "tents" that kept them busy for hours. John and I kept our sliding door open at night and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. I slept easier than I have in months.
The welcome basket was a nice touch! The kids really enjoyed all the toys and coloring books and crayons. I especially enjoyed the Butterfingers (my favorite).
We tried to leave the house as we found it and I hope it was satisfactory.
I've stayed in larger houses at the beach up in the outer banks but I told my husband that I enjoyed this past week more and was more comfortable in your place than anywhere we've ever stayed. We would love to come back again. Thanks for everything.

Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the condo. We had plenty of room and the place was extremely well stocked!
We had so much fun at the beach and in the pool. We spent most of the day at the beach, in the water, but it was so nice to get in the pool for a couple hours every afternoon.
The weather was perfect and the water was warm! We swam like fish and turned into little salty prunes!
I had wonderful, quality time with my grown kids; we had a fabuous reunion. We went out on the party boat and danced ourselves silly---that was so much fun!
Thanks again for being such a gracious owner and for letting us stay at your beach home. It was a perfect, perfect vacation! I hope we can do it again, sometime.

Your place is wonderful! I don't think we have ever had a prettier view of the beach, and the canal out the back windows was a wonderful bonus! Your condo is clean and pleasant, and you had so many nice 'extras'...the basket was amazing, and since I arrived with a sore throat, I found the chicken soup and the popsicles a real treat! You also had ibuprofen and cough syrup...very thoughtful items!
The front porch is the absolute BEST...wow...did we all LOVE it out there! It captures not only the great view, but a great breeze and the sound of the waves...as if they are right at our feet!!!! It is utterly amazing up there! And the quiet was everything you had promised.... I miss it and want to be there now, believe me!
The pool is beautifully clean - once my kids figured out the combination to the lock!
Thank you for a sweet, relaxing, wonderful week with my kids....we certainly intend to come back next year.

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. The views were great and our surroundings very comfortable. The location is quiet and very friendly. The children, aged 9 and 12 loved it.
The basket was very surprising. I loved the view from the balconies. The condo was very comfortable. Thank you! Sinead - aged 9
A very comfortable condo. We had a great holiday. Close to all amenities.

| Thank you so much for sharing your lovely beach home with us. It was everything you said and so much more!! On Monday, we saw a rainbow over the ocean from the private deck. On Tuesday, we watched our kids and the porpoises frolic in the ocean. We've enjoyed family time with the added bonus of our UNC-W student being able to pop in and out, but at the same time, the kids have felt a sense of privacy. We LOVED the 2 balconies with the two different water views. It was a special surprise that we were able to wake up and watch the sunrise right from the master bed!! All the touches that the owner provided (from a welcome surprise to linens,cleaning supplies and paper products to beach chairs and boogey boards) made it an easy, wonderful vacation. This felt much more like house sitting for family than a business transaction with a stranger thousands of miles away!! We sure hope we can come back again and again and again. We'll be telling all of our friends about this place. |

What a fabulous vacation we've had! Your place was a dream for us both. We relaxed by the beach. I can't believe how beautiful the weather was each day. Warm sun, waves crashing, cool breeze...lots of smiles. The deck was positioned just right, not too close nor too far away, a beautiful view as well. Each day I woke up and took my towel to the deck, resting until Matt awoke, I loved it. We couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon. Thank you, again, for letting us make your lovely condo at the beach our home for a few days.

We arrived very late Sunday - it was quite dark and we had no sense of where we were. You can imagine our delight when we awoke Monday morning and caught our first glimpse of the ocean. I'm sure it's always lovely, but it was a special thrill for three midwestern girls from Illinois.
We found that the area offered plenty to do when we were looking to be active, and there were several options for those times we wanted to relax.
We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to share your beach house.
