Dear Beverly and Jim, We can't thank you enough—we had an amazing time staying at your lovely home/property on Mark Island. It has the perfect balance of a quiet retreat, with multiple nooks to sit alone and read, but it also has large gathering spaces for our family to come together. We had a lot of fishermen in our group who were out early every morning, others enjoyed hiking the trails around the island and sunbathing on the docks, while others were able to work remotely. We came together for lunches and dinner in the kitchen and outdoor spaces and, of course, gathered for games in the evening in either of the “great rooms.” There was plenty of space inside and outside for our large group to be comfortable. The home is rustic and “campy” but very large, clean, and comfortable with air conditioning, granite countertops, modern appliances—everything that we needed. The cove was quiet and peaceful and we had beautiful sunsets through the trees. You are amazing hosts and we hope to rent from you year after year if you'll have us—it's truly a home away from home.

Continuation of what my sister said on page 1. What a beautiful, beautiful place for our special family gathering. Thank you for sharing your fabulous home! So close to the water... there was also nothing we wanted for! Hopefully we will return one day to add to our memories. Thanks again.
