What Our Guests Tell Us

We receive many compliments, and that seems to drive us toward our goal of providing one of the best oceanfront accommodations on North Carolina's Crystal Coast.  Our Guests tell us that our unit is clean, well-maintained, beautifully decorated, and super-equipped.  It is an ever-evolving "beach home" as we upgrade and add new furnishings annually -- so it's never quite the same from one year to the next.

Here is a small sampling of affirmations from our Guest Register:

"The location of 534 is excellent and because of the effort you put into making your condo special one feels right at home."

-- The Farrells & Hennesseys, Tennessee, May 2002

"We appreciate your "loving care" given to this home away from home."

-- The Pitchers, Indiana, June 2002

"This is a beautiful condo with all the amenities -- there wasn't a thing missing.  We enjoyed ourselves here immensely -- see you again, we're sure!

-- The LaCarubas, New Jersey, August 2002

"Thank you again for sharing this wonderful "piece of heaven" with us.  The condo is impeccable as always -- you have done a wonderful job."

-- The Salernos, North Carolina, July 2002

"Our 2nd trip to your lovely home proved to be twice as nice as our first visit as we stayed twice as long!  We will continue to choose your home as our vacation destination."

-- The Kidds, California, August 2002

"Thank you for a great place to spend our Christmas holiday.  This is the best condo we have ever stayed in.  Thanks to all the "extras" you provide and the cleanliness, this has really been a "vacation" for us.  We only wished that we would have found out about "534" sooner.

-- The Shumates, Virginia, December 2002

"Your lovely home has been such a blessing to our little family.  For many years, in our quest for the perfect place, we were never so happy as when we experienced the sheer comfort and joy here at 534 Summer Winds . . . North Carolina.  It was obvious you had put your whole "heart and soul" into the attractive decor, at the same time remembering the needs of your guests! Your organization skills made it so easy to find the right pot or dish.  After this nice rest, I am ready to go home and dig in."

-- The Reaves, North Carolina, June 2001

"Thank you for sharing your "piece of heaven" with us.  Once again your beautiful condo has allowed us to have two of the best weeks we've had in a long time.  You really have done a wonderful job and have thought of everything."

-- The Salerno's, North Carolina, July 2001

"Thank you so much!  Our expectations were exceeded in every way.  Your place is lovely.  We enjoyed our vacation immensely.  We will be in touch soon to make plans for our next trip to the Crystal Coast."

-- The Kidds, California, August 2001

"Sunny days -- Wonderful nights --

Just look up the coast -- What beautiful lights!

We look around there's everything -- It's clear!

Then we look at each other saying "Lots of cool things here."

Gee . . . We are so excited inside, We've waited for this all year long.

We rode the huge rolling waves all day -- They are so much fun & so strong.

We've shopped till we dropped -- golfed and fished ---

This week has been more than we ever wished.

There are memories etched in our mind --

These are by far "the most FANTASTIC kind."

When we're back up North and think of "534,"

We'll reflect on the WONDERFUL time we had at the shore."

-- The McCollums, Ohio, August 2001

"What a treasure this condo is!!  Our family had a most wonderful time.  Beach, sand & sea!!  Your thoughtfulness . . . to . . . the families that stay here is amazing!!  My husband and I celebrated our 20th year anniversary here and it was just so nice.  Thank you again!!

-- The Labbys, Pennsylvania, August 2001

"Thank you so much for sharing your home with us for our Honeymoon.  We did not need to look far for anything we needed or desired.  Your home made us feel at home for the week.  We hope to celebrate many anniversaries here at Summer Winds."

-- The Cains, Ohio, October 2001

"We have never stayed at such a comfortable & homey place that was also so clean and organized!!  We truly made ourselves at home & had a wonderful time! Had some yucky weather, but time passed quickly thanks to your Bingo . . .& Splash games!  It was great, & we will definitely be back - Thanks, Diane! Your hard work shows!"

                                           -- The Lowes, North Carolina, July 2000

"Some places we've rented in the past were a bore,

this was definitely not true of 534.

Saturday through Thursday, it was sunny and hot,

from Ohio we came and good weather we brought.

Only on Friday did our good weather end,

so off we went shopping with money to spend.

Our week has ended and we're filled with sadness,

but the memories remain and they are ones of gladness."

                                            -- The McCollums, Ohio, August 2000

"Your place is just beautiful & clean which helped us relax and enjoy the beautiful weather & beach.  Thank you for . . . all the extras you provide.  Wouldn't think of returning anywhere else because of your wonderful hospitality."

 -- The Whites, Pennsylvania, September 2000

"We are so fortunate to have people such as the two of you to share their beautiful condo at the beach.  The four of us enjoy it more each time we return.  This week has been beautiful & quite relaxing.  Thanks again!  Looking forward to the next trip."

                                            -- The Heptinstalls & Vaughans, Virginia, October 2000

"This is our 4th or 5th stay at Summer Winds -- 534 is by far the most tastefully & user-friendly furnished . . . flowers everywhere -- something pretty to see no matter where one's eyes rest . . . It has been a wonderful week.  Thanks for such a lovely place to get much needed R & R."

                                           -- The Wojciks, Minnesota, May 1999

"We have been coming to Summer Winds for quite a few years and your lovely condo is the best yet.  Obviously you've spent a lot of time planning, measuring, shopping, etc., to get everything so well coordinated.  There are special touches and conveniences that make everyone's stay enjoyable."

-- The Tuckers, North Carolina, May 1999

"This was our first trip to Indian Beach . . . Never having stayed here before, I can't compare it to others, but we thought it was great.  We loved all the silk flowers arrangements & the sea/beach knicknacks . . . We loved the "big" sofa & finally a "fully furnished" kitchen that really was!  Thank you for allowing us to "live" in your place for this week."

                                           -- The Corwins, Virginia, May 1998

"Thank you for sharing your lovely "away from home" home!  We come to Summer Winds on a regular basis and have stayed in many units.  This one far surpasses any of the others.  You have thought of everything and decorated with magnificent taste and elegant furnishings.  You have been much too generous."

-- The Stevens, North Carolina, June 1998

"This is our third visit to Summer Winds, and as always the stay has been wonderful, the accommodations beautiful.  But, we can honestly say your unit felt more like home then rental property.  Thanks for all the little extra touches . . . for the first time in twenty plus years my husband and I had a few days of being just a couple again."

-- The McMurrays, North Carolina, July 1997

"This was our first visit to Salter Path, NC and we immensely enjoyed it.  The weather was great, the water was warm and we experienced a lot of old fashioned Southern hospitality!  Your unit became "home" to us so quickly because of all the amenities you were so careful to provide . . . It's the little touches like the candles and movies that really made a difference.  We look forward to coming back next year!"

-- The Winns, New York, July 1997
