Our first guests at our vacation home on the tidal creek arrived in late March, 2006 and since then we have had many guests. We enjoy meeting our guests from all over the United States and beyond. Many of them have shared their experiences in our guest book. The following are excerpts from some of their comments. We only regret we don't have room here to include all of them.
March, 2006 "We feel honored to be the first 'renters' of Windfall Creekside. We've had a wonderful vacation-walking, biking along the beach, relaxing and a great boat ride. We will certainly be referring people to this beautiful, peaceful 'retreat'. You have done an amazing job decorating and renovating this house." The Thorlakson family- Canada April, 2006 "Thank you for a wonderful time. This place a beautiful charming retreat. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Go Steelers!" The Koppel Family, Georgia ( formerly from Pittsburgh) April, 2006 "What a wonderful time we have had this week at Windfall Creekside!

The Gammon Family- SC July, 2006 Thank you John and Sandy! We have vacationed on Tybee for the past 4 years and we’re so lucky to find your cottage! It was like home- all the comforts plus tons of Tybee charm. We’ll be back same time next year! Kayaks and bikes were great! The Nixon Family- Connecticut August, 2006 We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Everything was perfect, the weather, the beach, dining out, etc. We met some very nice people, both natives and vacationers.

The Kispert Family- New York Sept, 2006 Our 32nd Wedding Anniversary. We were so pleased with the cottage and the creek. Our last night we spent with a fire and a bottle of wine. What a way to relax and get rid of stress. All was appreciated. We will not forget our Savannah visit. Thank you both. The Hickmans- Tennessee October, 2006 Thank you for making our stay on Tybee a wonderful experience. The house was so charming and inviting.

The Price Family- Tennesee October, 2006 In ‘Treasure Island’ , Billy Bones is given a map whilst he is in Savannah, where x marks the location of buried treasure. How could Robert Louis Stevenson have known of the existence of Windfall Creekside? There is native a plenty outside of this house but inside is a plethora of all the comforts one expects of a home-and what better compliment can a guest pay to a host. On the walls of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, there is a famous Celtic saying. Translated it reads: “Say little, but what little you do say, say well.” Windfall Creekside does just that. The O’Donnell Family- England, U.K. November, 2006 Bikes and kayaks. Oh my! Life is good. Thank you for a wonderful getaway. The Mayda guests Michigan February, 2007 This was a fantastic place for our family. We all love the peaceful setting and warm décor.

The Chadowski Family New York March, 2007 We were the first people to rent this beautiful cottage, now we’re the first to use the hot tub! What a nice added bonus… We had such amazing hot weather and had so much fun biking on the beach, kayaking, walking and just relaxing by the creek. Thank you again Sandy and John for taking such wonderful care of us. Our son (now 17 months old) had a blast exploring all around the yard and playing in the sand box. It was so great to join my son, daughter-in-law and grandson in your wonderful cottage by the marsh. I’d heard so much about it from them, and it met all my expectations and more.

Thank you so much…we will definitely be back soon. Thank you, Taren As stated before, pictures just do not do this wonderful cottage justice.

When relaxing the hot tub and hammock were the perfect locations. The Klauck Family from Wisconsin May 2008 Thanks for a great holiday at the beach by getting away from the beach. It was a new experience for us- the marsh- and I know we are better people and more rested for it. The quiet but dramatic natural scene around the cottage puts a perspective on our years of raising two boys that will leave us with sweet memories. Time goes by so fast- thanks for slowing it down a bit so we could notice what is passing by. The Guthrie Family from North Carolina We had an awesome time staying here. The house was beautiful and we loved watching the wildlife in the marsh. The kayaks were a blast . The Snipes Family from Georgia July 2008 We had a great time and everything was great here.
