Guest Book: “We liked the house very much and had a delightful time there and enjoyed the location and the windmill. Your decorating and your taste are very, very nice. The (newly painted) blue (on the walls) is fresh and gay—I loved it. We enjoyed the porch and dined there twice. All in all, you have an extremely lovely home, and comfortable for a family. We all agreed we would like to rent Windswept again next year at the same time.” 'The location of the house was perfect. It was a nice quiet street, which will be great when we come back next year for the kids to play in the yard.'
