Welcome! We’re so glad to have you come and stay at our charming beach house. We purchased Hippocampus, as we like to call it, in 1998 and have tried to make regular improvements and updates based on guest feedback. Please sign our guestbook and let us know if there’s anything you’d like to see on return visits!

The views are wonderful. Tom and I came here to get away and really love the place. We’ve even spent some time on the beach. The only problem is the satellite TV keeps going out. We can get some of the local channels but we’re missing our cable shows. A couple of times it’s been out for over an hour. This really needs to be fixed. Thank you!

The views are wonderful. I love the layout of the place. Everything is easy to find and I have no trouble getting around. The jigsaw puzzles have really helped me pass the time, and so has the selection of books you have in the front room. The weather hasn’t been so good but I don’t think you can do anything about that. I haven’t been able to go outside or explore the area anyway. Why don’t the bathroom windows open?
P.S. Please send help. I’ve been kidnapped and am being held here.

Once Conseil and I settled in we quickly became accustomed to our quarters. It took our companion Ned Land some time longer; for three days he paced back and forth across the deck, harpoon in hand. This behaviour struck Conseil and I as odd but Mr. Land’s continued readiness turned fortunate on our eighth day. During a predawn high tide the house was attacked by a giant squid. It wrapped its tentacles around the lower pilings and threated to drag our Toyota into the waves. It might have succeeded had not the dealer, a certain Captain Nemo, convinced us to buy an anti-theft measure. With a hand-held device Conseil could remotely electrify the car’s exterior. This caused the beast to release our vehicle. We were then able to use hatchets, Mr. Land’s harpoon, and the broken coffee maker to drive the beast back whence it came. I must also concur with previous occupants: the views are indeed wonderful.

Love the place. Great swimming. Easy access to beach. Lots to do in town. Nice shopping. Surfing is good. Restaurants are clean. Enjoyed ice cream. Historic sites very educational. Even good for kids. Tried parasailing. Fun! Lighthouse. Birds. Very warm. Not much nightlife. Will definitely. Wonderful views!

DIDN’T EXPECT THE BEACH WOULD HAVE SO MUCH SAND
Smilng as I start my day. Thanks for this one, Chris. I bet it would be interesting to compile a stack of those guestbooks into one.
It makes my day that I’ve helped you start your day with a smile.

Enjoyed my stay. Expectations met.
Sincerely,

I’m glad you enjoyed your stay enough to keep coming back.
well this was different!! I enjoyed it very much. I never sign guestbooks, but I think I will from now on. Thanks for the inspiration 😉
It’s my goal to always try and come up with something new. I’m glad I can pass the inspiration on.
I really needed the long weekend! Peace and quite and the sounds of the waves were just what I needed. Love to return soon (and I live in Florida)!
Even in Florida you can be a long way from the waves–and even farther away from the peace and quiet.
