Edward,
I do apologize for not having done this sooner!!!! We had a fabulous stay at your rental home at 11 25th Avenue on the Isle of Palms!!  Your place was perfect for our family reunion/vacation.  We had a total of 11 people, 3 were children (boys).....there was plenty of room for everyone and it was very kid friendly.  It was a very short walk (block and a half) to the beach access.  We absolutely loved the screened front porch both to hold all the beach gear, but also for evening relaxation away from the mosquitoes.  The 3 full baths were great and we never ran out of hot water.  The house was clean upon arrival. We will certainly refer others to this property and hope to return again soon.
Thanks again,
Nancy and John Marschewski

Hi Edward!
Just to let you know, we did enjoy our stay at the house.  We loved the layout, which gave plenty of room and a sense of privacy for the 3 families (2 with children)!  And there was plenty of play room.  Liked the pool. There were plenty of towels and paper products which were appreciated.  When do you start booking for next year?  One of my son-in-laws is deploying for Afghanistan in October and we're not sure yet when he will return so we're trying to get a better idea to include him.  Thanks again for a wonderful week!!

Dear Edward,
We enjoyed our stay at your villa.  The area was fantastic.  Every morning we took walks, either along the beach or down Palmetto Ave. The villa was nice and we found the area to be so attractive.

Edward,
Our stay at your house on IOP was wonderful.  Everything was perfect for our children and grandchildren!  We enjoyed our time together more than words can say.  It was our first time renting a beach home but hopefully, will not be our last.  Thank you again for making our Thanksgiving family reunion possible.
God Bless you and may you enjoy a Very Merry Christmas,

Edward,
We really enjoyed our stay in your villa and our visit to Charleston.  The beach by your villa is outstanding!  The weather was really nice while we were there, which was an added plus.  We hope to come back and visit again sometime.   Thank you for your efficient help whenever needed.  Your villa is very nice and the location is terrific - we will definitely stay there again if and when we return to your area.
Thanks again!
Judi and Dave Cloutier

Edward,
I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at your villa.  It is a beautiful place and the beach was right out the door.  We really enjoyed the screened in porch.  We sat there at night and enjoyed the sounds of the ocean.  The fact that it was a gated community was especially nice.  Thank you also for the use of your sports card.  The gym facilities were just what we needed after eating all the fantastic food there!
I hope we can make it again next year, and thanks again for answering all my questions promptly.

We had a wonderful time here and will certainly check with you next time we plan to get to Isle of Palms for a vacation to see if you have a vacancy.  Thanks for everything.  We're headed to Georgia for a few days and then on home to Montana.
Thanks again!

I just wanted to thank you one more time for letting us stay in your beach house.  It was wonderful!  The beach was absolutely gorgeous, and the house was perfect.  Thank you so much for your generosity, and I hope I'll get another chance to visit Isle of Palms!
Thanks again,

Edward,
Thank you so much for allowing my family to rent your house this past weekend.  It was great seeing our son who just got back from Iraq after 18 months, seeing our newest granddaughter who is 1 month old, and having our daughter with us.  The "kids " are grown and married, but they are still kids to us.  Being with them and their spouses and the two grandchildren was wonderful, thanks to you.  The house was great and accommodated us without a problem.  The ocean was choppy, but we only had a couple of short rain showers to mar the day.  The pool was a godsend.  Our two grandsons, ages 4 and 5, just started swimming lessons this summer to surprise their dad when he returned from Iraq, and he was ecstatic!  Again, thanks so much!
God Bless you and all of your family,
Linda Baker

8/17/08

Hi Edward,
Our stay at Port O' Call was wonderful! Our villa fit our needs perfectly and looked exactly like the photos on your website.  We loved being so near the ocean, especially our walks on the beach and sitting out on the screened porch enjoying a delicious meal together.  We also treasured our side trips into Charleston and the surrounding area.  Thank you VERY much for working with us on our schedule.  We would definitely stay with you again!
Cheryl Werner

7/13/08
Hi Edward,
We wanted to write you and say it was so nice of you to work with us.   The location was great and the beach was awesome!   We loved the place and had an excellent time.   Hopefully we'll be back again.
Thank you again,

Edward,
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful stay at your villa at Isle of Palms.   We are wanting to stay the same week next year and will contact you in January or February of 2009.
Our weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed the beach and our morning walks.
Thank you again,
Lorie Lowell

Edward,
We have returned to New England (where the temperature is now in the 60's) after a delightful week at your house.  Thanks for your attention to our needs.  Everything was fine, and we are in awe of the details you face in filling the needs of such a diverse set of guests.
We will surely contact you when we again come to the Isle of Palms (and we will recommend your property to friends and other family members).
Thanks much,
Al Anderson

Edward,
My wife and I wanted to thank you for the great arrangements.  The villa was perfect and we are now looking at one of your houses possibly for next summer, for the whole family.
Thanks again.
Kelly Kidd

5/5/08
Edward,
My wife and I had a fabulous time at your villa.  This has turned out to be one of our favorite places to visit and I now understand why so many people from our area return to Charleston, year after year.  The Charleston area has much to offer and one week is simply not enough time.  We love the villa and the great ocean view and the walks on the beach are something we can't get enough of.  We look forward to renting from you in the future.
Thanks again,
Dale and Janet Filbrun

4/09/08
Hi Edward,
I wanted to let you know that we enjoyed our stay at your house and found everything very neat and clean.  It was a great location and the next time I'm looking for a rental in the area, I will definitely check with you.
Thanks again.
Jean Neville

2/28/08
Hi Edward,
We returned home to MA this week after a wonderful week at your villa.  You really have a beautiful place and the view to the ocean was great.  Obviously it was very quiet there in February, which is what we wanted, and it felt really warm to us coming from our cold climate!  Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your villa.  Ron and I hope we can rent from you again next winter, maybe for a couple of weeks: one week just wasn't enough!  We love the Charleston area and did a lot of sightseeing, and enjoyed some fabulous food.
Again, thank you for everything,
Carol Desrosiers

We enjoyed our stay in your villa and would certainly use it again.   It is a great value for the price.  We look forward to coming back, sometime next Fall.

Edward,
I just wanted to tell you that we enjoyed our time we spent in your house last week.  My husband and I went down Sunday and were there alone until Wednesday when the kids and grands arrived.  All of us, 6 adults 4 teenagers and 3 children were very comfortable and had plenty of room. The area was beautiful and the weather was great!
Thank you for your hospitality and if I ever have the opportunity I would rent from you again.
Marcia Gevedon

11/15/07
Edward,
I stayed in your Isle of Palms villa in October.  I loved your villa.  I could live there and be happy. We had no problems--everything was perfect.   Do you rent out on a monthly basis???  I will be using your property a lot in the future.
Thanks so much for a wonderful experience,
Winda cook

Edward,
Just wanted to let you know we had a GREAT time at IOP this past weekend.  The house was so spacious and close to the beach - it worked out great.  Hopefully we will be able to use it next year too!!!
Amanda Wall

5/28/07
Mr. Barker,
My "Red Hat" ladies enjoyed their stay so much this year that they want me to plan for next year already!  The house was great for our group - convenient to everything, peaceful neighborhood, and great access for our beach walks!  Can we go ahead and make our reservation now?

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your villa.   The only complaint I have is ...having to leave!   It was a wonderful weekend.  I will be contacting you about renting it next summer.  Thanks!

Hi Edward,
I wanted you to know that Debbie and I enjoyed staying at your place very much.  It offered all the things we were looking for during our stay.
Thanks again. We had a great stay.
Rob Wilkerson

8/21/06
Hi Edward,
I want to thank you for allowing my husband and I to rent the villa at Wild Dunes.  We really enjoyed our week and your villa is beautiful!  And, we couldn't have asked for better weather.  My only complaint is that the week went by too quickly!
We definitely would like to rent from you again next summer, if the villa is available. We will be in touch as soon as we have next summer's vacation dates planned.
Thank you again!
Judy Culpepper

8/10/06
Edward,
We did enjoy our week at 616 Palm Blvd.  The proximity to the beach, and the private pool were wonderful, especially with young children.
Thank you again for all your prompt responses to my many questions and for your follow-up on our stay.
Joanne Penkalski

7/09/06
Edward,
We just wanted to let you to know that we found everything wonderful at your house.  We have enjoyed staying at Isle of Palms with our family for three summers now.  We look forward to staying again and will certainly recommend our experience to our friends.
Sincerely,
Lee Albright

3/30/06
Edward,
We had such a wonderful time in your villa during Christmas and the month of January this year.  We loved our morning walks on the beach and everything about the villa was great.  We would like to spend the month of February next year at your villa.
Have a nice summer.
Sincerely,
Don and Judy

3/11/06
Edward,
I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed my month long stay at the Port O' Call unit.  I honestly did very little sightseeing because I found so much pleasure simply in being in such a lovely villa.  You asked for criticisms and I must tell you that your "arrow" on the web site floor plan, pointing to the direction of the ocean view from the bedroom led me to believe that that would be the only place from which I would see the ocean and that the view might be somewhat limited.  I really was flabbergasted when I saw a perfectly wonderful view, not only from the bedroom but from the living room as well.  I honestly think you should make that point clearer.  It was, indeed, a wonderful, if unexpected surprise.
I've truly never been happier or more relaxed than I was for that month.  I wish I could have stayed another month!!
Which brings me to next year.  I will contact you and, hopefully, we can make arrangements for a repeat rental.
Thank you once again for your consideration and assistance.
Sincerely,
Myra Jerkic

2/28/06
Edward,
Can I just say that it has been a real pleasure renting from you???  Everything is always so easy, and we know what to expect.  We have had only one bad rental experience down there, and that was when we had to rent through someone else last February due to "missing the boat" with you.  We will be back in touch for our vacation next year.
Thanks again for doing business the way you do.  It is a real treat!  Vacation should be stress-free, and you certainly help make it so!
Shawna Gately

1/10/06
Edward,
On behalf of my family and myself I would like to thank you very much for providing a wonderful stay at your beach house.  We had a grand time.  The house was just right for our family and we spent as much time sitting around the kitchen table catching up as we did out on the beach.  It was perfectly situated for visiting our relatives living in Mt. Pleasant and as a jumping-off place for our trips up-country to Little Mountain and Pomaria.
We will definitely keep your information so that we can rent the house again when we come to Charleston in the future.
Ann M.

Edward,
Bob and I are back from Wild Dunes and we had a great vacation.  Your villa was perfect for us.  The weather co-operated beautifully, and we enjoyed being there for the second time.  I'll be in touch again.
Thank you,
Carolyn Wynn

11/01/05
Edward,
I just wanted to let you know how good of a time we had at your villa.  My wife and I thought it was super nice.  I also showed your villa to my realitives and they loved it as well.  We will definately be coming back next year.
Thank you,
Robert Davis

8/10/05
Edward,
We just got home from our week long vacation on Isle of Palms.  I was really surprised at how large and beautiful the home was.  With nine of us, we had plenty of room and we all enjoyed our stay.  My youngest daughter is 14 and she brought a friend along and they really enjoyed the pool.  We liked the location of the house being across from the beach access.  Everything we needed was there in the house.  We have been coming down to Isle of Palms since 1996 and we love it!!!  We went into Charleston to the market and took a carriage ride through the city.  The only thing we didn't get to do was to jet ski at the tidal wave Marina.  They were all booked up.  We usually jet ski and para-sail. My husband got to golf three days.  The neighbors around us were really friendly too!!!  I just wanted to let you know we love the beach on Isle of Palms and everyone in our group just loved the house.
Again, I thank you so much for everything.
Sandy Hixson

7/7/05
Hi Edward,
We had a great time at your villa and we really loved the views of the ocean from your building.  We were so lucky to have the full moon rise after the sun set!  We've enjoyed your villa so much these last few years that we're coming back for our honeymoon in October.
Thanks,
Sharon

7/5/05
Dear Edward,
Just a quick note to let you know that my daughters and I enjoyed our stay at your villa.   The weather was great and the furnishings were very nice.  I liked the fact that everything we needed was available.  We will certainly come back again and rent from you.
Thanks,
Pat Danko

6/29/05
Dear Edward,
I am just writing to thank you for the wonderful week my family and I had at your house.  I think everyone of us said it was the best vacation we have ever had, including Hawaii.  I went in to a mini-depression when we got home because I missed the beach so much and missed being around all of my family.  Thanks again for giving us the opportunity for such a great time.  We are already planning on returning next year.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Meyn

6/12/05
Edward,
We've been back in the UK for a couple of weeks now and the vacation feels like long ago!   We had a great time in the Carolina's and Georgia and particularly enjoyed our stay in Charleston - a fascinating and fun town.   Port O' Call was an excellent base for us - very convenient for everything that we wanted to do.   We liked Isle of Palms (and Sullivans Island) and thought Wild Dunes was great - relaxed and peaceful and with some excellent facilities.  The beach is superb and having Edgar's close by was a bonus - we had a couple of very enjoyable meals there.  The villa was also excellent - bright and airy; plenty of room and very well equipped.
We had a great time during our week in Charleston.  We will not hesitate to recommend Port O' Call (and pass on your card) to anyone who is thinking of visiting the area - particularly any golfers.
Best Regards,
John McCorquodale

6/8/05
Edward,
Well, it looks like my Mom beat me to the punch in sending you a thank you.
My family and friends came from Utah and Nebraska and are ready to come back again!  I want you to know that the house was absolutely WONDERFUL!  It was perfect for our extra large group.  We didn't feel overcrowded at all.  We were able to mix and mingle, sit and talk, get away by ourselves, enjoy the pool or head for the beach and still enjoy one another!  There were lots of kids and they were NEVER bored! (which is totally amazing if you have kids of any age!)
We were able to have a wonderful graduation party for our oldest daughter and, again, the house was perfect - lots of cooking space to prepare the food, lots of parking, lots of room to mingle and some of our guests even enjoyed a moonlit walk on the beach!  Everyone who visited or just stopped by loved the house and the location.  Be assured I am letting them know that if they want a great place to stay at Isle of Palms this is it!!!
When I started planning for this celebration back in the Fall, I searched quite a bit and looked at lots of possibilities before I came across your property.  Many had parking restrictions, occupancy restrictions, visitor restrictions etc...and were a whole lot more expensive!  Anything that allowed for a group our size was several thousand dollars per week and still had all the other restrictions.  The fee for the use of this house for the week is MORE than reasonable especially with its amenities and location (2 blocks from the beach).
I just can't express to you what this week meant to all of us.  As my Mom told you, "it was the most relaxing vacation I've ever had."  We can't wait to do it again!
Sincerely,
Stacy Zoucha

6/8/05
Edward,
I would like to thank you so very much for the wonderful stay at 616 Palm Blvd with Stacy and my family. We found the house to be awesome as was our stay. Everyone had a wonderful time and it was the most relaxing vacation I have had in years with all of my children and grandchildren. Hopefully we can enjoy it again.
Thank you and God Bless,
Nancy O'Kane

5/9/05
Hi Edward,
Our time there was wonderful and everyone who came wants your email!  The weather got better each day and we didn't want to come home.  We'll be renting from you again soon.
Thanks so much,
Julie Bussells

5/3/05
Hi Edward,
We wanted to let you know what a nice time we had during our recent stay at your Port O' Call villa.  Thank you for providing such a comfortable and well equipped unit.   How wonderful to have both the pool and beach just a few steps away.  Isle of Palms is in such a great location with Charleston and so much else close by.  We hope to return to Wild Dunes/Isle of Palms in the near future.  We would definitely recommend your villa and the area to anyone.
Mary & Allen Borzabadi

Edward,
We had a wonderful time on IoP and the house was perfect for us.  We will definitely recommend it to anyone we know visiting IoP.   It is especially good for families with children since the park is close by.
Thanks very much,
I. Fischer

Hi Edward,
We had a wonderful vacation at the villa, and had mostly sunny days.   The appointments in the villa were very good and the neighborhood was serene.   We had a great time.
Thanks again,

3/31/05
Mr. Baker, Emily
We rented from you last year and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  I've recommended renting from you to a good friend of mine.  But, the neatest thing that happened to us is we found out we were having a baby while staying at Port-O-Call.  We plan to bring her next year to stay.  We hope you have a good year and we look forward to returning next year so Emily can see the ocean.
Thanks!
Holly & Scott Pierce

2/17/05
Hi Edward,
Thanks for your note of February 18th.  I am sorry to be so slow to reply, but we just returned from a 5 day grandchildren-sitting stay in Columbia, MD, and I am just really digging out of our welter of baggage, laundry, and mail.
We THOROUGHLY enjoyed our stay at your property.  We found it to be comfortable, very well laid out for nappers, TV watchers and readers.  We were very happy there for our two weeks in Wild Dunes.  Thank you for all you did to answer our questions, and to make our stay so pleasant!  I will certainly recommend your properties to our friends.
Best wishes,
Jane McCauley

1/25/05
Dear Edward,
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you.  I just wanted you to know that my husband and I enjoyed our stay at your villa.  We liked the location near the beach and proximity to Charleston.  We found the accommodations very comfortable and everything we needed readily available.  It was a very relaxing vacation and one we will remember for a long time.
We will be back in the future.
Toni Zobel

1/17/05
Dear Edward,
Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed your villa the week before Christmas and Christmas Day.  We had several days in the 70's and we relaxed the rest of the time which is why we wanted time at the beach.  We will keep our eyes open for available dates this year as we would like to return again.  In the meantime we wish you a Happy New Year.
Best regards,
Arnold and Barbara Whisnant

12/1/04
Dear Edward,
I just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for all of your assistance with renting the house.  Everything went wonderfully, and we loved the size of the bedrooms.  For those of us with young children, there was plenty of room for a crib.  I hope you had a wonderful holiday also and again, thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Heather Renee Johnson

11/29/04
Edward,
Just returned from our way too short visit to Isle of Palms, SC.  We had a wonderful time and your house was perfect for us.  It was clean and roomy and certainly convenient.  We have family and friends in the area and it was an easy drive to their homes from the island.
Happy holidays to you and your family,
Joy Fleming

11/8/04
Hi Edward,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at your villa.  It's a very nice place and the weather cooperated beautifully for our long weekend.
We hope we can rent again from you in the future.  We also took your advice and went to the restaurant you recommended for dinner on Thursday night.  It was very good and the owner used to live in Spartanburg.
Thank you again,
Carolyn Wynn

11/4/04
Edward,
We really enjoyed our stay at 11 Twenty Fifth Avenue.  It is a very nice, lovely decorated house.  We had plenty of room and we were most comfortable.  The weekend was great fun for all the family and friends.
Thanks again,
Beth Rouse

11/2/04
Hi Edward,
Just a quick note to say we all had a great time in Charleston this weekend.  Your place is just the right combination of well-equipped, clean, and tidy without making folks feel like they can't get comfortable on the furniture.
I hope we can visit again in the future.
Best,
Nathalie Guerin

10/26/04
Good Afternoon Edward,
I just wanted to take a moment and let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed our recent stay at your villa.  It turned out to be a very nice weekend with the weather cooperating for us and the Citadel's Homecoming.  We found the villa to be in good shape with fresh linens and anything else that we may have needed.  We look forward to when we can once again visit our favorite place and hopefully will be able to stay at one of your villas in the future.
Best Regards,
Terry Jolly

10/24/04
Dear Edward,
We wanted to tell you what a terrific time we had at Wild Dunes and how much we enjoyed your villa.  The villa was very clean and neat when we got there and we found it to be extremely comfortable.  I have ready recommended it to our family and friends.
Thanks again for the experience.
Sincerely,
Cindy and George Oprita

10/17/04
Dear Edward,

Edward,
We had a wonderful week at Isle of Palms!  The weather was perfect every day and the moon was beautiful at night.  Your villa is attractively decorated and there were ample dishes, cookware and linens.  It was also very clean and neat.  We hope to rent it from you next year in July (possibly for two weeks).
Thanks for renting to us.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Sincerely,
Brenda Fogle

Thanks again,

Mr. Barker,
We just wanted to let you know how very pleased all of us were with our rental of 11 25th Avenue last week.  We were pleasantly surprised with the condition of the house and its accommodations as we have rented vacation homes elsewhere in the past and usually we found them to not quite measure up to the printed descriptions and photos.  Your home and its furnishings were wonderful and we are most appreciative.
Thanks so much !!!
Karen and Mike Muska

6/3/04
Edward,
We just wanted to thank you for the accommodations on the Isle of Palms.  The villa exceeded our expectations and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  You have thought of everything in furnishing the place.  Of course, two nights was simply not long enough.  We will certainly let others who may be interested in the Charleston area as a vacation spot know of your place and give them your business card.
Thank you,
Jon and Marie Kozik

5/23/04
Dear Edward,
I just wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our stay at G-202 Port O' Call.  We had exceptionally good weather and met many wonderful people on the beach and staying nearby.  The accommodations suited our little family perfectly.
Thanks,
Elaine Blanton

5/21/04
Hi Edward,
I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our week at Port-O-Call.  The condo was very clean, well kept, and very comfortable.  I don't know when I've stayed in a place that the bed was just like home!  Very comfortable mattress.  We did exactly what we intended - rested, walked the beach, and ate good food.  Good shelling too.
We will definitely go back.  Charleston was a great time too and would like to spend more time with the tours, etc.  Can save that for next time.
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay and will keep all the information so we can call you again.
Thanks again,
Becky Sklenka

5/11/04
Dear Edward,
We have just returned this past weekend from our visit to Charleston and wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  Some of my family had never been to Charleston and are eager to return.
Thanks so much and we look forward to returning soon.

We had a lovely time staying in your villa.  Thank you for your follow-up emails.  I am enchanted by the area, have been for some time.  We love Wild Dunes because it is very convenient to Charleston's Historic District (15 minutes at most times).  The villa is perfectly located, with the bedroom and deck view of sunrise over the ocean.  Also, close enough for a short walk to the Golf clubhouse for Starbucks coffee in the morning.  It's very comfortable, especially the large bedroom (good firm mattress) with white wicker dressers (more than adequate), and the kitchen is outfitted with most everything one needs for an extended stay.

Dear Edward,
Just had to write you today and tell you how much we enjoyed our vacation in your Port O' Call Villa G-202 this past week.  We just returned to all the snow and ice and cold last night and wanted to turn right around and head back south!
Anyway, the villa was better than pictured on your website which isn't always the case when people are trying to market something.  We were pleasantly surprised that you provided various items like dishwashing soap, paper towels, laundry detergent, etc.  Directions to the island were excellent, and check-in was a breeze.  Everything about the place makes us want to return again, and we will certainly do so.
We look forward to making one of your villas our new favorite February destination.  Take care.
Sincerely,
Shawna & Dan Gately

Edward,
I meant to send this when we returned, but too many things came-up until today.  First of all, we just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed your place.  It was just right for the two of us.  We loved the location, and we thought the whole area was a great place to visit.  The Wild Dunes community was beautiful and had much to offer.  This time of year was very pleasant weather-wise, and our week was especially good.  We are interested in returning next year, probably around the same time (my wife would like it to be two weeks, and I'm thinking we just may do that).
Anyway, thanks again, we had a great time.  We'll probably start making our plans for next Fall sometime during the spring.

Edward,
We really enjoyed your villa this summer.  We do not play golf but, enjoyed Wild Dunes tremendously.  It's such a clean, neat place.  We hope to spend many more vacations with you.  In December, we will be celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary.
Thanks for all your help and prompt replies.

Good Morning Edward,
I just wanted to drop you a quick line and thank you for all of your responsive e-mails and for the rental of your wonderful villa.  We had a blast.  We have only been home a week and the kids are already asking if they can go back to the beach.  The location was great and we got to meet the "Turtle Ladies" while we were there and see a nest of Sea Turtles hatched and released into the sea.  It was an absolute pleasure.
Thank you,
Dawn Keith

Edward,
We just returned home... and had an absolutely wonderful vacation.  Thank you for all of your help and the house was perfect!  We had plenty of room for everyone and immensely enjoyed the beach, the pool, everything!!!  I really appreciate all you did for us.
Once again, thank you for an incredible location to have our vacation.  We simply had a great time.

Dear Mr. Barker,
Just wanted to send you a note after our stay at Port O' Call.  We loved everything about it.  The property is beautiful and the location at Wild Dunes is outstanding.  I will be back next year!

Thanks very much Edward,
We had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed your villa.  We weren't there a whole lot given how lovely the surroundings were.  What a great place to vacation!  Thanks again.
All the best,

Hi Edward,
We had a great time.  The villa was great, the weather awesome.  The floor plan was ideal, providing lots of privacy and the villa had all the conveniences of home.  The screened porch was very relaxing and the view was beautiful.  The pool and grounds were very clean and the goundskeepers were efficient and cordial.
I'm hoping to return again next year and will definitely contact you.  It's a great place to enjoy the charm of Wild Dunes and Charleston.
Thanks again for a great week!

Dear Edward,
As usual, everything at the villa was near perfect!  And, thank you for providing all of the essentials, right down to the 9x13 glass baking dish for my chocolate cake!  We had a wonderful week of warm, sunny, relaxed vacation and look forward to returning whenever we are able.  We wish you all the best in the upcoming year.
Yours truly,
Carol, Tony and Tim Fisher

Edward,
Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your Port O Call villas.  We had a wonderful time, especially knowing that we were missing the 30 inches of snow our family and friends were dealing with.  We were very pleased with the arrangements, location, and your immediate response to our few concerns.  We will not hesitate to tell our friends and recommend your place to them.
Thanks again,
Barb Berkoben

Dear Edward,
Just wanted to drop you a note to say we had a very relaxing stay at your Port O' Call villa before Thanksgiving.  It's a comfortable, cozy villa and we couldn't have wished for better weather.  We started out our week with a water's edge pre-dawn view of a rather spectacular meteor shower.  Perfect.
Anyway, thanks for your hospitality and your good service.  We'll certainly keep you in mind for future getaways.
Regards,
Sandy Bruce

Hi Edward!
Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed staying in your villa.  The six weeks just flew by and we hated to leave.  We are looking forward to either the Spring or Fall next year.
I am passing along pictures and information to my friends so you may hear from them.  My husband and I enjoyed visiting with you on the phone.  You have a warm friendly way.  That makes people feel at ease and comfortable in your villa.
Thanks again for allowing us to pretend we have a summer villa.  It makes our cold winters much easier when we remember our great fall vacation.

Edward,
Just wanted to send you a brief thank you for the wonderful time we had during our vacation.  Seems it was so long ago, even though it was only three weeks....  The condo was great, the weather was nice, we loved that it wasn't too crowded and that we always felt safe.  I hope to be talking to you again sometime soon to reserve the place again!
Thanks for the hospitality!

Edward,
Just a quick note to let you know that we enjoyed our stay at your Wild Dunes condo last week.  This was our 15 month old son's first trip to the beach, and he had a great time.  The location right on the beach, made it very easy to take him there to play or for a walk.  The condo was roomy and provided him plenty of room to play while inside.  We all enjoyed eating out on the screened porch while watching the ocean.
We certainly would not hesitate to stay there again or to recommend the units to other folks.

Mr. Barker,
Just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our stay at Wild Dunes and the villa was nice.  We hope go back next year also and will most likely contact you about a rental then.  Maybe next time we can stay a week since there didn't seem to be enough time to spend at the beach.
Thanks again!

Edward,
Long overdue:  We enjoyed our stay in May at Port O Call in Wild Dunes.  This area has been one of our "at least once a year" spots for over 10 years and your Villa has the right balance between location and amenities.
Thanks a bunch,
Guy and Susan Arcure

Thank You,

Dear Edward,
We have returned from the Charleston area after a wonderful time at your villa.  I want to thank you for the gracious way in which you handled our request and for your timely responses.  The villa was great and we found everything we needed!  We love being so close to the ocean and find ourselves missing it now that we are back..:-(
Thanks again and perhaps we will get with you for another beach vacation in the future sometime.
Sincerely,
Carol Fisher

Hello Mr. Barker,
We had a wonderful time during our stay.  The check-in and check-out was very efficiently handled and we certainly would like to rent the unit again in the future if possible.  I will keep the information you sent so I can contact you when that opportunity occurs.
Thanks again for everything,
Anne Johnson

Edward,
Time has gotten away from me.  I intended to tell you right after we got back what a nice time we had.  The villa was just great.  We enjoyed the beach and just walking and relaxing, and also our time in Charleston.
Thank you taking us on such short notice.
