GUESTS' COMMENTS

 

The following pages are excepts from the "Guest Registers" in each of our Rental Units. These are the comments of our guests; we are thankful that so many of them are positive.

Here we are again. With passing time, all that you have, all that your island has, gets deeper and richer. I've come this time to celebrate my life with my husband. I cannot think of a more fitting place.

~ Susan and Griff Gilbert

Our first time to the island in many years. You have a really nice place - quiet, good boat ramp, and nice people. Caught trout and blues at the Cape. Will definitely be back for some serious fishing. Thanks for your hospitality.

~ Harold and Bebe Hill, Snow Hill, NC

Thank you for the pleasant, comfortable stay on Harkers Island. The directions were the best we've ever been provided. We enjoyed the home-like unit and appreciate your hospitality. The island is beautiful and peaceful. We especially enjoyed our visit with Mr. James Allen Rose and learning about his family's history and about some of his adventures growing up here and his interesting path into model boat building. His boats are crafted with precision and care, and a true love and passion for this work. He had many important life messages for our son during his interview and we appreciated his thought and care that went into this process. What a wonderful, relaxing and admirable person. We're so glad we have had the chance to travel to Harkers' Island. Thank you.

~ The Straders, Greensboro, NC

Thanks Ann for making our visit affordable. It has been a pleasure. Love to bring our kids and grandchildren. Guess will be back next year. You have nice home here. May God bless.

~ Ken and Norma Owens, Cincinnati Ohio

Enjoyed visiting our friends Don Stewart and Ray Waters who were staying here. We live in Stacy, never knew this place was here. Thanks for treating our friends so well.

Dearest Ann and Leslie,

Well, this marks my 10th visit to Harkers - 8th visit with you all - You are both such a treasue. I think one of the reasons I keep coming back is you both make me feel like family, like this Island is my home too. I love you both very much.
