GUEST BOOK COMMENTS: "You have a beautiful & peaceful vacation rental home, unplugged from the rest of the world. We only made one trip to the library to use the internet. Martin's & Shannon's favorite part of our stay was catching that 26-lb Chinook Salmon on our fishing trip with Ed Jordon as our guide. Greg's favorite part was grilling that salmon and eating it every night out on the oceanfront deck (sometimes even for lunch and breakfast) and sipping coffee on the deck with me while the teenagers slept in. My favorite and unexpected delights were the fresh oyster po-boys provided by Martin & Shannon's afternoon jaunts on the beach. A New Orleans girl's heaven! Overall, we just enjoyed the slow passage of time. Time to read a book from cover to cover, time to play Password & Trivial Pursuit & Texas Hold'Em & Badminton, time to feed the crabs and throw rocks into the sea, time to really talk to each other, and time to just be quiet! Thanks for the experience." ~ Greg, Mavis, Martin (14), Shannon (13) from Louisiana USA

"Thank you so much for sharing your holiday home with us. From the bald eagle who greeted us atop a tree next to the house when we arrived, to the phosphorescence in the water the night before we left...we had a wonderful time. We've enjoyed shrimp from Squirrel Cove, spring salmon from the ocean, and clams from the beach. This is the life!" ~ Sincerely Dave, Michele, Sophia & Jack
