Hi Chippy and Bernadette,
Just wanted to say thanks for a great stay....I had a really good time staying in Seatons and your beautiful guesthouse.
Thanks Chippy for the trip out to the islands in the boat.....a lot of fun.....it’s such a beautiful part of the world....You are blessed to be living there!!
I hope to bring my family out sometime....maybe when the weather starts to get cold up here!! Its now lovely springtime temperatures here....all the trees and flowers bursting into life.
Thanks again to you both.
Peace and Blessings.

Hi Bernadette and Chippy,
Just a quick note to thank you guys for the great time that we had staying at your villas. The trip out to the island snorkeling was sensational and you run a good show there! Hope we weren’t too demanding on you guys!
Will keep you in mind for the 2009 test series with Australia and West Indies.

Would you also email a message to Chrissie and Andy (who were staying with us when we were there) to email me as we are headed to Queensland in a month and would like to catch up with them.
Once again, many thanks.
Cheers!

Hi Bernadette,

Your new web site is very nice!! Great pictures and information. It
brought back many wonderful memories of our stay with you last
January/February. Thank you again for the special week we spent with
you at Ellen Bay Cottages. Hope your family is doing well. A special
thanks to your husband for taking us out on his boat, we truly enjoyed
snorkeling and seeing the small islands near Antigua.

Take care and good luck,

Gwen and Bob Staats

Dear Bernadette,

I want to thank you again for a wonderful time we had. It's both good and sad to be home. My pictures are great and we're still pealing from our sun burns. I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas. I have some cool ideals. It's back to work. Again thanks for a wonderful vacation.

Sincerely
Linda and Ted Smith

Hi Bernadette,

Just a line to thank you for collecting us from the airport, arranging car
hire and the boat trip with your husband which was the highlight of our
Antigua visit, also for re-arranging the accommodation. We enjoyed our stay
with Valerie and sharing with her about her amazing life !

We had a good flight home and had to attend to a number of important matters
arising here which cut short our visit, but there is always another day.

Our best wishes to you and your family,

Michael & Anita

Hi Bernadette,

We came back and the works have wait from us, so that I didn`t find the
calmness for the pictures and
greetings to you.
Thank you very much for the happy times in your house. I shot a really
nice picture from you and I hope, that you
enjoy it also.
I like to think back to the colours, the wind, the noices from the birds
and the sea.
I will come back.
It is late here, half past One in the night.
Sleep well
Best wishes from Joachim to you, your husband and your children.

Hello Bernadette,

Thanks for a wonderful vocation. My stay at your place , was truly comfortable, enjoyable and memorable one. I enjoyed the walks around town, shopping, church and our little outings.
You know, there are times we ask God for so many things and want them right away. But God's timing is the right timing. I must say I enjoyed your sons company. Please say hello to Chaz, Chase, Choy, Chippy and Andrea for me. I'll let you know about my coming for the Sailing Weekend. Thanks for everything, you'll be hearing from me. Enjoy your week in Tortola.

With Love
Marcia

Thank you so much for everything.

Hi dear Bernadette, Chippy and family

Well I'm back in England. I have sorted the post, made a few phone calls, been shopping [as fridge empty] had a bath and washed my hair; plus done a load of washing which is now drying in my kitchen .

I now wish I were back with you for a stroll along one of your most beautiful beaches..

I just wanted to email and say thank you so much for everything. I know both Linda and myself felt the same about the place. The apartment was spacious and very comfortable indeed, the area very beautiful. Not to forget to mention how you all made us feel so very welcome. This sounds silly I know, but I did not feel that I was on holiday, but home in your beautiful country and with your wonderful family.

Thank you for our most wonderful leaving present, I have found a home for it near a collection of stones I have, indoors ofcourse.

Again thank you both for everything, picking us up from the airport, taking us back and for the boat trip to Bird Island.

I have been going through a rough time these last few years and memories of the last week will never die, it was the best tonic I could ever hope for.

Hello Bernadette and Chippy

Arrived home safely, already missing your beautiful island! Many thanks for making us so welcome. The apartment was just what we were looking for, away from the main tourist area and with stunning views of the sea and the islands. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the welcome we received. Everyone on the island is so friendly we can't wait to come back. Hope to see you next year!

Best wishes to you both and the boys

Hi Bernadette & Chippy,

I have now returned to Perth, Australia.
I thoroughly enjoyed my holiday around the Caribbean and your hospitality in Antigua. I hope to return one day to Antigua for another holiday as I felt the time I spent there wasn't long enough.
Wishing you and your family a happy and prosperous year.

Hi Bernadette,

I must extend my satisfaction for the past four days at your place. I think it is one of Antigua's best kept secret.

I got plenty of rest and lots of work done. I already started advertising to bring you more business. Extend great thanks to your husband for his courtesy for the boat ride and him getting out of his warm bed this morning to get me to the airport on time. That is what I call personalize service.



I will be back and looking forward to visiting with my family.

Bernadette and Chippy,

Thank you in duplicate for looking after us on our recent stay in Antigua. You make it so personal. Everything we were going to say has already been said on your site. A stay with you is like staying with friends. When we come back to Antigua we definitely want to stay with you again. If we can't stay with you we just won't come back to Antigua.

Thanks again for everything.

Hi Chippy, Bernadette and the boys,

Thanks once again for your hospitality and service during our stay in Antigua. We very much enjoyed our stay in your apartment at Ellen Bay and we would surely recommend it to any of our friends. The space and accommodations of the apartment and location on the water were very excellent.

We also enjoyed the scenic boat trip with Chippy, Chase and Choy to Bird Island and the reefs around the island. Chippy’s knowledge of the area and the waters gave the trip a personal Antiguan touch! Simone and Evelyn loved to play with Chase and Choy in the water and around the house.

Keep up the great work and we will see you next time!



Kind Regards,

Chris, Marleen, Simone and Evelyn

Hello Chippy and Bernadette,
