We rented Bellissimo during the 4th of July week and had a great time. Not only did we find your house to be beautifully decorated, the amenities added to our experience. The kitchen is well-stocked, the gas grill with no tank to fill (hooked up to the house propane tank), the walk to the beach, and definitely, the beach chairs. We're from York, PA and the fact that we didn't have to haul chairs down saved us a lot of room. Thank you for your organization and of course, the cake. We've been coming to Corolla for about 7 years with another family and have never rented the same house twice. We were so impressed with Bellissimo that we decided to rent it next year.

We love it here so. It is with a sigh of peace that we arrive and sigh of resolve that we leave. Our aunt stayed with us this year from Washington state as well as my parents. Three deer were under the window one morning. We had a full moon. We went literally from one end of the Banks to the other. We saw the beautiful horses and Noah, now ten, caught a 21-inch Drum. Today we rode bikes to the Lighthouse and the boys learned bow shooting. Thanks for the crab traps — that was a fun morning-but couldn’t catch anything. We found an awesome Catholic church in Whalehead — very old and very "community". We're hoping for the chocolate cake next year too! Thank you!

Thank you so much for opening your wonderful home to us. We had a wonderful time. This is our second visit to Bellissimo and just like the first, it is so hard to leave. Thanks for the cake and the phone call, it really made us feel welcomed.

Your home is beautiful! We feel very grateful to be able to spend a week here on the Outer Banks with you as our gracious hosts. The weather was perfect with a mid-week storm to give us a day of rest in our jammies and enjoy relaxing. The selection of movies, the hot tub and puzzles helped pass the day. We will return someday and do hope your home is still available for rent.

Thank you so much for the wonderful home to spend our 2010 vacation. I love all that it had to offer. I love your style of decorating and making it a home away from home. Our week was beautiful with sunshine each day. The only downside was the cold ocean temps and jelly fish for a couple of days. Our 7 teenagers still found fun things to do. We played several family volleyball games and some great dinners out on the screened in porch. It is too difficult to find some good ole family time in this crazy world but your house allowed us to do that! Thanks!
