Hi! We just got back late last night from our vacation. I wrote so much in your journal notebook at the beach house about our time, but I really wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves. It was absolutely marvelous. We are certainly beach people by heart and this was just amazing. I loved every detail that you had put into the house. All my life I have wanted something like this. Someday my dream will come true, but for now, for one week it had come true. Thank you. You had absolutely everything any one person could want or need. I loved, actually we all loved , the ships watch. I also love Nicholas Sparks. I can't believe that you have maybe the whole collection there. I chose a book and began reading. I made myself finish it Saturday. I couldn't take my eyes off of the view. It is just so beautiful.
There was absolutely no one there except for the workers. One day we saw some volunteer fire fighters and talked with them for a while. We put many miles on our shoes. We ventured to the state park a couple of times and went geo caching quite a bit. It was fun. Saw some of the horses sporadically. I think it was too cold for them. We woke up to a slight snow covering on Tuesday and it rained on Wednesday. It was pretty cold all week, but we bundled up every day multiple times and strolled the beach for hours. We are used to the cold weather so it really didn't bother us. There was a blue sky and sun shine everyday, but Wed.
We loved the assortment of games and put together many puzzles. We haven't done a puzzle in years!!!! My husband and son played their guitars and ukelele and had a great time. Dave did everyones taxes.
Our dogs have never walked so much in their lives. We have a place on Sandy Pond on Lake Ontario and we boat over or kayak to the beach daily. There the dogs run and go for long walks but nothing beat the walking they did this week. One day we walked 10 miles. By evening the only thing they did was sleep. Thanks for allowing them to join us.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to rent your beautiful home. It was breath taking. One day I would love to return. Next year we do not have this week off from school in February, so it will not work. Thank you again so much for accomadating us with the days as well. It worked out perfect. Thanks also for the mugs. It was such a thoughtful idea and a wonderful momento. You (both) have thought of everything!!!!!!
Thanks again so much!!!!!

| We just returned from a terrific visit to "Meant to Be", and must say that this is a beautiful home. One of the things we noticed immediately is how well equipped the home is. Except for beach towels and food, virtually anything we could need was there and available. Well maintained, Bill & Melissa are excellent hosts, and would highly recommend this property. Just remember that being about 8 miles up the sandy beach you need to bring everything with you.... it's not just a quick drive to the convenience store! And yes, it's true about the wild horses, they still come strolling through the yard every day! Views are great, short walk or ride to the beach, pool and hot tub are excellent! Welcome gift a very nice touch. Would suggest bringing some drinking water. Will definitely rent again. |

Once again another great week, we hate to leave! It's nice to come back (our 2nd yr. in your lovely home) and the finishing touches you added. You've stocked so well we've had everything we needed. Tthank you. It is apparent much love and thought went into the building and furnishing of this home. The pool has been great for the afternoons when the beach got too hot...or evenings...or whenever. Tthe horses feeding in the yard are a delight. Again THANK YOU for such a wonderful week.

To the owners of Meant to Be,
We really enjoyed staying in your beautiful home. The vacation went by too fast! We looked at your photo album of the construction of your home, that was a great idea. This house is absolutely beautiful from top to bottom. The adults as well as the kids enjoyed our week from top to bottom. This is our second year vacationing in the Outer Banks. I think we found our permanent vacation spot!! This is definitely one of the best times we had in awhile. It's definitely worth coming back to.

Dear Homeowners,
We (my husband & I) are only halfway through our honeymoon and we don't want to go home. We were married in October but decided to put our honeymoon on hold in order to enjoy the spring/summer weather of the Outer Banks. We have enjoyed swimming. We found gorgeous shells on the beach, the chair/ottoman in the ship's watch is my favorite place, so comfy and a great place to read. My hair turned Oscar the Grouch green from the chlorine in the the pool. After a frantic call to my hairdresser who recommended baking soda, which I found in your refrigerator ( and replaced) I was back to a blond, with the brains of a bruinette. Wow - what a beautiful home, fabulous location. Tank you for your part in my honeymoon. I hope my honeymoon is a sign of things that are "Meant to Be"

Thanks so much for a beautiful house to spend our time in - 5 Stars. Enjoyed walking on the roads and beach - saw the wild horses on an early morning walk. The view of the ocean is great and what an experience it is driving on the beach.

I couldn't think of a more wonderful place to get away and spend New Year's Eve than this house. Melissa & Bill, you have thought of every detail to make this house beautiful and it was worth all the work. We hope to come back down to the Outer Banks in the future. Thanks again for this beautiful house.

A beautiful home! We enjoyed our stay & the secluded location. Saw several deer as well as the horses. Pool and hot tub were fun and very relaxing. Porch swings were a nice treat. Loved the layout of the house. We have many wonderful memories that we'll bring home with us.

What a great spot for a vacation. I loved the animals but I loved the seclusion the most. The house was great. Very pretty down to the last detail (like the sea animal knobs on the cabinets) Thank you for building it. The pool was a special bonus we enjoyed much more than I thought we would. The house is beautiful, the view fantastic.
