Our stay at Anna Maria property 896635 in December 2019 was fantastic. The location is perfect, right on the beautiful Anna Maria beach, so walks and runs on the beach are right out the back door. And the pool was perfect for our family of 16 - 8 adults and 8 kids under 10. So many fun hours playing in the three different pool areas, complete with waterfalls. The kitchen/ dining area is spacious and perfect for a large family. The house is divided into two halfs, which connect on the roof and the ground floor. This gave the grandparents their own space, and also a place for some of the kids to retreat for a few hours. The owner surprised us with a whole table of goodies from Santa on Christmas day - so fun and welcome. We highly recommend this house for a great vacation.
We highly recommend this beautiful house.

Good morning Neil,
The Condo was fantastic for both my brother and his wife and my family. We truly enjoyed our stay, thank you.
Everything about AMI was great too. The seafood and music scene was amazing people and weather. Can't wait to visit again.

I have been searching for a vacation rental in Siesta Key for July for at least 2 months now. I contacted just a few places and nearly went insane! One of the websites was yours. Jamil was one of the agents from your office that helped me.
He took the time to find out exactly what our needs and budget was. He sent emails and texts that were just enough to be helpful and not intrusive.
One of the websites led me to an owner that turned out to be someone local to me. A deal I couldn’t pass up. I will admit when I first looked at your listings I thought I was way under budget for anything you had listed. When I emailed your office I felt "why not". I feel that both agents I corresponded with were pleasant and nonjudgmental about our budget. Particularly since there were 9 in our party.
Jamil, however, was the person that stood out more in this instance.
When the time comes that we can come back, I will be sure check with your agency first.
Thank you,
Kathy Groneman
Hi Amanda - I just wanted to write a quick note and tell you how terrific your reservations manager Jake is (I asked him for your email address.)
He is lovely to deal with (both on the phone and in cyberspace) and seems to anticipate one’s every need.
We decided, last minute, to come to Marco Island during spring break with our college age son and his girlfriend — and Jake figured everything out (and even gave us OPTIONS during high season).
It goes without saying we'll be in contact again for vacations with our 5 adult children, their spouses and our grandchildren. Also, my husband Mike is the DA in (frigid:) Minneapolis, as well as the board chairman of the National District Attorneys Association...so if you also might be able to accommodate 30 rooms at a time for NDAA board meetings, we would keep that in mind, too.
Regardless, it was a please to do business with Emerald Kite,in no small part due to Jake.
Very best,
Kate
My family and I have been in contact with JoJo over the past month or so regarding our four generation vacation to Maui. JoJo was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was diligent in finding great options for our vacation, patient as we dealt with a family emergency that almost jeopardized our trip, and persistent with his follow-up and checking in to see if we needed any further assistance.
While we were sad that the house we ultimately chose was not one of Emerald Kite's properties, we do not regret our interactions with JoJo, and truly hope to work with him at some point in the near future.
We feel he deserves recognition for his outstanding client service, kindness and compassion. Thank you, JoJo!
Best,
Lauren, Michigan
Hi Linda,
I just wanted to drop you a line, to say how much my husband and I enjoyed our holiday.
I would like to thank Tammy in particular, she was very patient helping find the perfect accommodation for us, and I did have quite a list of what I wanted. Shell Haven ticked all the boxes! Also, she was really helpful offering tips and advice. Tammy definitely went the extra mile, and we’re very grateful We had a lovely, quiet and relaxing time. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
Everyone on Anna Maria was so friendly and helpful, we will definitely recommend the island and emerald kite to our family and friends.
Thank you once again
Warmest regards
Caroline and Neil Coffey
To whom it may concern,
I would just like to let you know that it has been a pleasure working with Anne. We are a big group, with a lot of needs....and wants to make our trip to Anna Maria Island a Memorable one. Not to mention our dates were firm which proved to be a challenge. She worked hard to find us just what we were looking for. She was able to answer my million questions....which in itself can be challenging enough! We booked a property without even seeing what it looks like....if that's not faith I don’t know what is! We look forward to seeing our home away from home soon. Anne, you are the best!
Thanks for everything.
Elena and Family
Anne,
Just want to thank you for Your effort in finding the property that fit our needs. Your name and phone number was given to us by a friend. We called you in the morning, gave you our requirements and the same afternoon you emailed us properties to choose from. We made our selection the following day and put down our deposit.
Have to tell you it was a pleasure to deal with someone who was so customer service oriented and professional. I even thought you owned the company.
Thanks again,
Mike, SC
Dear Anne:
Thanks again for all your help finding a great place again! When I first reached out to you four years ago, it was because we'd waited way too long to book and I thought we had no hope finding a place. I remember you said that everyone should experience Anna Maria Island because it was such a great place and you’d do everything you could to find us a place – and you did! And it was an incredible experience, just like you promised. Not only were the accommodations fantastic, we fell in love with Anna Maria! We’ve been calling you every year since then – you deliver great customer service by following up immediately and making sure you find a place that fits all our needs. More than that, you genuinely care that we have a great time, and it’s nice to work with someone who connects personally.
Thanks again – we recommend you and Emerald Kite to people looking for great vacations and customer service.

Hello, Anne helped us find the perfect vacation home for our Spring Break. She was so sweet and easy to work with. She was very knowledgeable about the area and helped us find exactly what we wanted in a vacation home. We will be recommending her to friends and family as well!
Thanks so much,
Stacia, MO
I would just like you guys to know what a wonderful job Anne did in helping me find a place. I called late and demands were high and she was a peach to work with and saved our vacation. Please give Anne a bonus.

Thank you for all your patience with me and help with finding a house for our upcoming family vacation. Mike and I love Destin and can't wait to share the city with our children and grandchildren! I think the panhandle is a perfect place to eventually pick as a retirement destination.
Thanks for all the details.
Take care,

Great location right on the beach. It is exactly what we were looking for. Thank you for finding us this condo for us!

Power and water has been restored...businesses are resuming normal activities....buildings that suffered damages are being repaired. The Island will be beautiful once again!
During the upcoming Months, many properties will be having a variety of minor and major repairs made such as windows and doors replaced...screen cages replaced...new landscaping planted and roof repairs. Others will need full interior renovations done. Property Owners and Insurance Adjusters are busy making the necessary arrangements to expediate these repairs as quickly as possible. Not all repairs to units will be fully completed before the start of Winter Season. You may find that there will be some construction related activities happening in buildings while you are staying on the Island, not inside your particular unit, but perhaps in other units in the complex. We are not in control of the scheduling of those activities and bears no responsibility for any minor disturbances that the restoration efforts may cause.
We want to assure you that IF the property you have reserved WILL NOT be ready to accept Guests, we will notify you well in advance with options for relocation to an alternative unit.
Your customer service is off the chart and so kind. Thank you so much for all your hard work, truly you are the bomb!!!! Btw my dates can be flexible - thanks!

Thank you for your help in getting us a place to stay in Long Boat Key on short notice. You did a great job understanding what kind of place we wanted to stay at and giving us various options to pick from.
Ann Gumkowski
I just wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time on the island, despite tropical storm Emily! We made the best of the rainy days, we drove north to Crystal River and swam/waded with a Manatee and also drove south the next rainy day and checked out Sanibel and Captiva! We had a great adventure for sure.
Thank you so much for your help and support in finding the condo, we loved it! My hubby had a blast there with all the turtle nesting going on. He is our official turtleologist now 😁 Sorry it's took a bit to get back to you, I turn off my devices on vacay and when we returned from our trip, school was starting and I've been taking my Dad to his chemotherapy so needless to say its been in a whirlwind.
Anyhow, Thanks again and when we head that way next go round, I'll be hollering at ya 😉 have a wonderful day!!

Dear Marni,
I wanted to write you to tell you how thankful I am for your patience, professionalism and humor while you assisted me in booking a special surprise family vacation for my mother. Your willingness to answer dozens of emails, multiple phone calls and texts at all hours of the day and night, made this process very smooth. You tapped all of your resources to make sure that my family would be staying in the place that best fit all of our needs. You have made this process such a pleasure that I would gladly not only book with you and your agency again, but I would also recommend you to all of my family and friends!

I wanted to share that we have been thrilled with the service received by Sally. Her help in our search for a condominium in the Longboat Key area for October has been outstanding. She is very professional and knowledgeable. When our first choice was withdrawn from the market because of altered timing of a construction project, she was quick to suggest three other possibilities that met our requirements. Questions about mattress comfort and beach access were quickly addressed. Again, we cannot say enough about Sally. She's already on the hunt for a month long stay in 2017! For long-term vacation rentals, look no further. Sally of Emerald Kite is the best.

To whom it may concern:
I want to extend a huge thank you and commendation to one of your employees, Anne Huber. We live in Atlanta, Ga and were looking to rent on Anna Maria Island or Longboat Key or Siesta Key, or... We do not know the area at all but have a son who will be in the Tampa area for a few weeks and it would give us a full family vacation. Anne was so amazingly helpful to teach us about the area, the culture of the different islands, trying to accommodate a Sunday to Sunday rental over July 4th. Though we were unable in the end to find something that would work for the size of our group and our dates, we will certainly consult your group again when in the area and spread the word about your company. Thank you for choosing to be a company in this day and age that values customer service and that hires people like Anne that are great customer servants!
Sincerely,
Debbie, GA

Dear Marni,
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate everything you've done. We are trying to get stuff put together and was wondering how many beach chairs and umbrellas came with the condo? Also, we will have a three, 10 and 14 year old with us. If you have got a list of attractions you could recommend that would be awesome. Also, we'd prefer some local flavor with food. I hope this isn't asking too much. Just a couple suggestions would be great. Thank you again for everything. I've already started putting the word out to my friends that you're the only person I'll be calling in the future when going to tour area.

Hi Sally. I just wanted to say my family and I had a wonderful time at the above location in March. Thank you so much for all your help. You were such a pleasure to deal with and thank you so much for pointing us to this property as it was wonderful - lovely home, elevator for my Mom, beach front property/beach access, and within walking distance to St. Armands Circle. Thank you so much!
Take care,

Thank you!

Thank you.

Hello – I just wanted to share with you the wonderful service that I received from Deborah. I spent several weeks searching for a vacation rental for my husband and I. I was at wits end and I happened upon your web site. I filled out the form and didn’t expect any response for a few days. Within five minutes of sending my email, I received a phone call from Deborah. Deborah asked several questions to ensure she could deliver everything I wanted. In less than 2 hours – I reviewed the condo, Deborah booked the condo and sent a confirmation. I was totally impressed with her professional manner, speed, and efficiency.
You have a very valuable employee working for your organization.

Anne was exceptional! She assisted me very quickly and answered all my questions with ease. I felt like she was a friend immediately! Looking forward to our trip!

Hello Mary Sue,
Happy New Year. I really wanted to let you know that we loved the house you found for us and had a wonderful time. I have since told friends about Ana Maria and given your name. Our family is already talking about returning to Anna Maria next holiday season. I will for sure contact you when the plans take shape. Have a great year and thank you again for helping us enjoy a great holiday. Bye for now.

Hi Sally,
Our family would like to thank you for arranging our stay in Florida and also for arranging the baby equipment for us. We had a great holiday; we only wish it could have been longer.
Thanking you once again.
Kind regards,
Gill
Thanks Lynne and you're the best. I’m going to use your services every year.

It was a pleasure doing my reservation with Deborah, she answered all my questions and believe me I asked a lot, I think I have made the right choice and I'm looking forward to my stay.
Thank You,
Elizabeth
Lynne -
The condo is beyond fabulous! And I have to say that you have been the absolute best rental agent we have ever had! I have already passed your name and number on to a friend and will continue to do so. We have rented in Destin for the past 17 years, so I know how special you are. Thanks so much for everything! Will let you know ASAP about next year.
Happy Day,
Kat
Hello! This is to let you know our relationship with Emerald Kite and Sally were most efficient, accommodating and helpful. We have reserved a spot for winter 2015 and are most pleased.
The two gals joining us are my sisters.
Thank you.

I am extremely pleased with the process and service received in scheduling our vacation rental. The friendly service made me feel very comfortable in expressing what we were looking for and disappointments had in the past... so I am very excited about our vacation and what to expect!

I just wanted to let you know that I have been receiving outstanding service from Sally over the past few years. She is very efficient, polite and customer oriented.

Kelly has provided wonderful service for as far as we are in the process. We tried a couple of other online routes before finding you and although some (understandably at the late date we started — after Thanksgiving — for a March Braydenton area rental) came back quickly with "no vacancy notices" — the majority simple never answered. We had a quick e-mail response from you and — now that I recognize the number — a quick phone response too. The delays in communication have been from my end as a result of late-year business issues. The location of the property you found for us looks wonderful and we are looking forward to exploring the area for ourselves in March.
Thanks,
Frank
Hi Sally I just wanted to say WOW we had the most amazing time in Italy my family loved the whole trip it truly was a trip of a life time. Positano was the most beautiful place that I have ever been. Please pass on our thanks to Sonia the villa in Positano was fabulous. We were able to find two lovely women to cook for us twice in our villa through the property manager of the villa it was a wonderful experience for all of us. If you have never been to Positano I highly recommend that you try to go some time. Rome was amazing as well.
Thanks for all of your help and being so patient with me with the emails.
Michele
Thanks. What great service.
I will bookmark your company for future trips.
Joe
Hello Sally,
Thank you very much for your contact with me over the last week. I really appreciate the help that you have given. I do regret to let you know however, that we have now found suitable accommodation (our friends have also been searching independently) and will not be following up on the property details this time.
I would like to say though, that I have found your service to be very helpful and you have a very welcoming and friendly approach (something we have not always experienced through other companies, who tend to come across as 'impersonal'). I have 'bookmarked' you on my web browser and will certainly come back to Emerald Kite when we plan future holidays to Florida.
With best wishes,
Sally
Thanks for you excellent attention in assisting us with our trip plans.
Sincerely,
Sue
I would like to take the time to thank you. I was having a very hard time trying to book a place for vacation. I had inquired about a couple of houses. They were already booked but I had a message on my phone from Anne. She left a message and her call back number. I do not usually call back. I just don't like to talk to sells representatives but I was stressed out. This was the best decision ever!
After talking to Anne and telling her what I was looking for and the budget I had to work with she asked me to give her a couple hours. She was very honest and said if she found anything I would have to book fast.
Anne was true to her word and within two hours she sent me some options. She found me just what we needed and I was able to book. Anne literally took my three week ordeal and turned it into a four hour what do you need and done.
From here on I am just going to call Anne. It was so much easier and a pleasant experience like a vacation is suppose to be.
Thank you so Much!!!
Alice & Robert
Good Morning Anne & Sonia,
Please find attached the signed Terms & Conditions covering our booking 15th to 26th November 2014.
If I have any further questions I'll email you, but in the meantime, a huge thank you, we couldn't have had better help from yourself and Sonia.
Excellent service.
Regards to you both,
Marilyn & Graham
Thanks very much for the email information about the rental property we secured for a week in March. We are very excited about it.
We would like you to know how appreciative we are of all of Kelly's efforts. She was very responsive; immediately searched for properties that would meet our needs and provided us two solid options. Within an hour or two of contacting her we had concluded the transaction. She really was very helpful to us. Not being familiar with the area, location of the home on the island, and the convenience to the beaches and town area, we really depended upon her knowledge to help us pick out the best property. Again - she was just great.
So - thanks very much. We are really looking forward to the trip.
Carmel
I would like to commend Kelly for the excellent service which she provided for our family. We had to book flights to Tampa from Sunday to Sunday which created a huge problem booking a house on Anna Maria Island. I was beginning to think that our vacation was going to be a disaster. I searched and searched. One site gave me a number which I called. I am so thankful that I did because I was greeted by Kelly. I couldn't have asked for more. She was patient and tireless in her effort to get us a house that we loved as much as the home that we rented last year. Thanks to her for the support which she gave us. We can't wait until it is time to come! Kelly did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone!

Hi Sally:

Hi Sally!
We recently returned from our family vacation at Naples Cay, and I thought I would let you know that all of us had a wonderful time. The condo was very nice. We are considering going to Naples again next year and getting a 3-bedroom condo. Keep us in mind!
Thanks for all your help in making our vacation special.
Tina and Ken
Sally,
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed working with you, I appreciate you thinking of us first when the house became available. We are looking forward to this trip so much. It will be so nice to see all of our family again. Thank you again for all your help. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
-Melody
Wow! Thank you for jumping on the reservation. I understand that other clients were interested and I really appreciate your effort in making sure we got it! Also, purchasing the aria club and spa pass for my mother was very generous and I assure you, after all your help that you have given me and my family, I will continue to use your services as well as refer you to my friends and family. You have really gone above and beyond and I can’t thank you enough. Mailing the pass would probably be the best option for us. Thank you again for all your help. You have really made our vacation start off on a great foot. Thanks!

Hi Leslie,
Sally and your company most responsive. Picked up on what we needed very quickly. Our sincere thanks.

Hi Leslie (again),
Elaine and I both enjoyed working with Sally and would like to suggest you double her salary/commissions! She was especially nice to my wife and that's always important to me.
Best regards,
Bob
To who it may concern, just wanted you to know it has been a great pleasure in working with Anne. She has been a great help in locating us a home and answering all our questions. She went over and beyond what was expected of her services, we did not get from any other agency! You have a good worker there!
Thank You,
Scott
I just wanted to let you know I finalized my vacation reservations with Mary today. She was wonderful, easy to work with, and very efficient. I feel lucky to have found her and appreciated her efforts.
Thank you!
Michele
Elaine from the start has been like a mother to me talking and being very personable. She made me feel like I had none her my whole life. We laughed and worked together finding not only a house but the perfect house for beach trip. She has been beyond helpful. Because of Elaine I have recommend a handful of people to go through y'all in their beach search! Her efforts and hard work she put in for me will keep me coming back time and time again through y'all.
Thank you for all y'all have done,
Walker
So far everything has gone very well. Deborah was very helpful in finding us a rental and her efforts are appreciated. We are looking forward to our trip.
Thanks,
Chuck
Evening Sally,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your hard work and due diligence! You're a real worker!!
So... that being said, I'll reserve the home now with the understanding that final approval will be given after we get more photos, and if possible a video.
Thank you again for all your efforts! I hope your boss recognizes what an asset you are.
Have a nice evening and we'll talk in the morning.
Michelle
Dear Sally,
Thank you for being such a dynamic and efficient person who gave us the impression you cared about our needs.
We appreciated you made an important work of research and we regret we did not find the convenient product we wanted.
Actually we found a house to rent for the all month behind Publix on the Golf Club.
We keep your phone number and we'll be pleased to deal with you next time, hoping to find the right house.
Take care,
Sophie
Thank you Sally and Sonia from Emerald Kite for helping us find a great vacation house in Siesta Key! We thought we wouldn't be able to find a nice house to accommodate our family of six adults and five grandchildren, we had looked at so many houses online. Time was getting short but Emerald Kite came to our rescue. They were able to find a nice selection of homes to choose from based on our preferences, large number of guests and within our budget! This was our first time to rent a vacation home and they really made it hassle-free. Once our home was selected, they answered all of our many questions on the phone and via email. I would have to rate the customer service an A++.
When we finally arrived at our vacation home, it was as advertised. Nice and roomy with five bedrooms and four bathrooms. Being our first time, we were very apprehensive but the house was spacious with large king bedrooms for the adults and two twin bedrooms for the kids. There was plenty of room to have quiet time if you needed it and to all be together out at the pool or inside in the living room/TV room. There was an outdoor bar and fridge on the patio which made it convenient when grilling out as well as access to drinks and snacks while swimming. There were plenty of bed and bath linens - even beach towels! The house had a three car garage - perfect for our three families.
We were within five minutes of beautiful Siesta Key Beach with their sugar white sand. After spending time at the beach, the grandkids loved being able to come home and jump in the pool. There was even a hot tub for us old folks to soak after shopping till we dropped at Siesta Key Village and St. Armand's Circle.
As first time vacation home renters, there are some things we learned. Sometimes previous renters leave extras like toilet paper, paper towels and staple items like flour, sugar, salt & pepper. We brought a few things but had to buy other items, which we in turn left for the next guest. Also, I would recommend paying for cleaning service if it's not included in the cost. It was so nice to not worry about cleaning and laundering the bed and bath linens before we left.
All in all we'd do it again, especially with Emerald Kite. Thanks again for helping us make wonderful memories of a great family vacation!
Sharon
Hello,
I am writing to highly recommend your sales agent, Anne, who went above and beyond today to assist me with a complicated last minute vacation rental. Anne took hours of time on the phone with me, went out of the way to check out the veracity of an outside rental that I was considering, and was kind and informative while I wavered between two homes which were not actually right for our group. In the end, Anne was able to secure what I think will be the perfect space for our families' vacation, and she did it all with good humor and tremendous patience.
Now we are looking forward to our first visit to Anna Maria Island. Anne's warmth, interest, and professionalism have already set the stage for what I hope will be a wonderful week. It has been a pleasure working with her, and you are lucky to have her as part of your team.
Best,
Elizabeth
I just wanted to, again this year, thank Sally on the excellent attention and help she has given us in regard to our AMI rental for the week of September 13-20, 2014.
She took excellent care of us this past year, which is why I contacted her, personally, with our rental requirements this year. All inquiries have been answered promptly, and to our complete satisfaction.
We are looking forward to our trip in September, and hope to be in contact with Sally in the future for other rentals at AMI/Holmes Beach, or possibly other.
Thank you for having such a lovely person on your staff.
Carol
Deborah was very helpful and very pleasant to work with. My family and I appreciate everything thing she has done to help us.
Many thanks,

We are just so thrilled with the booking. You provided top service for our vacation hopes. Thanks again.

Hi Linda,
I just wanted to comment on the wonderful service I received from Sandy.
I wrote my first email Sunday morning and within an hour Sandy had called and introduced herself and interviewed me to find out our preferences for renting a vacation condo on Longboat Key for March. I was very impressed when she called me back, again within a couple of hours with a great rental property.
My husband and I needed to sleep on the results and decided to go ahead with renting the property.
You certainly have a gem with Sandy as one of your vacation specialists.
Thank you,

Hi Sally,
Thanks so much for your offer!!! However, I called the Rock Resort number and they will have my lift ticket at reception when I check in. I also arranged for the airport transfer to the resort, so I'm all set! Also, I saw the one dollar charge on my credit card. I appreciate the heads up on that as I would have definitely been curious what that was. Thanks for all of your help. It was a pleasure working with you on this trip. Your professionalism and responsiveness made the whole endeavor very easy.
All the best.
Bill
Ann was wonderful – she helped us find a rental for the week of 2/21/15. Her friendly personality came thru on the phone. If you have checked you would know what I mean. I thought there was none available. I spent days searching sites to find a rental – all were booked, but Anne found me the perfect rental.
Marilyn
Hello Sonia,
I just wanted to send a quick note to let you know we loved View of the Gulf in Anna Maria. The house was very large, comfortable, spacious, and had great amenities for our group which was 3 adult couples and our high school seniors and some of their friends: pool, ping pong, tv's, games, grille, hammock, hot tub, widow's walk, nice kitchen and refrigerators, bars/stools, living rooms, bed rooms, porches, grocery, beach volleyball and beach access.
We rented 12 bikes which was great because sometimes the kids would take some, and sometimes the adults would take some, but there was ample space to store them until they were used. We rode South to the public beach and North to the Waterfront Restaurant and through the neighborhoods all around. The parents felt comfortable knowing that our kids, and their friends, were safe and secure in this house and on Anna Maria. As you know, last week we had beautiful weather on Anna Maria. We saw 5 beautiful sunrises and 5 wonderful sunsets and not too many sunburns in between. The kids created great memories, some of which will be appreciated more when they are my age. They're all going in different directions this fall (Georgetown, Hope College, DePauw University, Indiana University, Xavier, Spring Hill College, Boston College, Regis University, and Dayton University), so it was great to "just be" for a while before graduation.
Thanks again for your help finding this house. It was perfect.
Becky
I would just like to say that Elaine has been fantastic throughout our search for a Longboat Key condo. She has been so helpful and explored all options for us and always replied to all my questions promptly. She has given honest opinions which really helped in our final decision.
Many thanks to Elaine and we would be very happy to use you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Claire
Sally - I just wanted to thank you again for coming through and finding us an ocean front condo in a great location! I couldn't have found this place without your help.
-Cheryl
Dear Sally,
I received already the confirmation from Pruvail. I really appreciate your help and kindness. In these days when everything is done through the internet it's so reassuring to be able to speak to a person who will listen and give you her input. Maybe in the future you will add Puerto Rico to your vacation destinations and you can come and visit.
Thank you again,
Ana
Sally,
I will respond better when I have a keyboard rather than a phone.
Your enthusiasm is contagious and I appreciate your honesty and passion. I think (due to your vigilance) we will be able to make this work!!!
Thank you,
Terri
Sally-
We absolutely enjoyed our trip and loved the house-especially the location! It was great weather and we were able to walk around everywhere! We are definitely considering an annual trip around the same time, maybe the last weekend in April when season drops.
Thanks again for your help. It was such a pleasure working with you. Everyone asked how we found the house and I told them about you.
Take care and we will connect again soon!
Heather
Hi Sally,
Attached is the signed rental agreement as per our discussion. Once again, thank you for your assistance. The service has been outstanding.
Kind Regards,
Gwen
Hi Sally,
I found this email today while cleaning out old messages. I just wanted to say thanks for all your assistance with our vacation planning this Spring. In the end, all turned out well and we loved Siesta Key.
Regards,
Karen
Sally, We were very pleased with our condo that you suggested. It was clean, moderately up-to-date and had everything we needed. Besides cleanliness, it passed the biggest requirement - fabulous view of the ocean. We also loved the wonderful top-notch restaurants. So thank you very much. You were a pleasure to work with.
Thanks so much.
Kathy
Kelly and Sally,
Great house here in Anna Maria. Our family is enjoying this large, well-maintained property. I would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants a luxurious, high-end vacation. It has completely met or exceeded all of our expectations.
I appreciate working with both of you.
Donna
Sandy –
Thanks so much for your help in planning our vacation to Longboat Key... we had a fabulous time! This may become an annual trip for us.
Thanks again!
Andrea
I just personally want to let you know that your customer service means so much to me and my family. This is coming from a person that boycotts local grocery and retailers for poor service, so complements only come if warranted. The scenario I have been through, warrants the best of complements to you. I know the daily grind may make you forget how much family vacations can not only be a hassle but also how much fun they can be and it is the difference in what guest representative you receive, I was blessed to find you. Send me a survey after the vacation and I would be happy to write a personal review because you deserve it.
Thanks so much again,
Jennifer
To Whom It May Concern:
I contacted Emerald Kite at the last minute in search of a rental on the gulf. I was fortunate to have Sally answer my call. I had very specific needs on a seemingly impossible deadline. Not only did Sally dive right in to help, but she had me squared away in record time. I had tons of questions and Sally had accurate and timely answers for all of them. I was amazed by her knowledge of the area. Everything, right down to the restaurants, was just as she described.
Sally absolutely went above and beyond for us every step of the way. She even made arrangements with Frank at Duncan Real Estate to receive the package containing a case of my son's prescription milk and hold it for us safely until we arrived. Sally provided the most astonishing customer service and is a huge asset to Emerald Kite. She is fabulous and I will not hesitate to recommend Sally and Emerald Kite to others.
With sincerest thanks -
Stephani
Dear Sally,
Many thanks again for assisting us with our holiday accommodation. Your attention has been exceptional – it is especially satisfying to speak to someone on the phone as well as online. We are now returning the Reservation Agreement and other documents.
I'm sure we will be in touch before our travel to Lido Key in October.
Best Regards,
Carolyn
I have been coming to Vail for Many years... I had the LUCK of connecting with Sally online. She was so accommodating and was IMMEDIATELY in contact with me. I have found a great place to stay and it has been so positive working with Sally. Thank you!
-Lindsey
Hi Sally,
Nice to hear from you. At this stage, it doesn't look like we will be coming over in January as much as we would love to. However, things may change, and if we do decide to come I shall contact you straight away.
We really loved Montanero's when we visited in January; we couldn't fault it. I posted a review on Trip Advisor recommending to fellow travellers. All our friends loved the apartments you booked for them as well. You do a really good job.
Warm regards,
Kerin
Hi Sally,
Regrettably, it is time to leave tomorrow. I have so enjoyed my stay at Beachplace! Everything went very smoothly. The unit was beautiful and perfect – I really appreciate your help in finding it!
Thanks again – we're sad to go...
Cindy
I just wanted to say thank you for helping us select the PERFECT PLACE for our Florida vacation!!! I cannot tell you how much fun we had as a family. Just a side note... my wife, I and four boys caught over three hundred fish less than 100 yards from our back porch. AMAZING!!! Please feel free to contact us at any time with specials, deals, last minute vacation ideas etc. My wife is ready to buy a place there and move! That's how much fun we had. Thanks again and please stay in touch.
Pat
Sally,
We had a fabulous time. Great place and location.One very happy customer.
Regards,
John
My contact Anne was an absolute delight to deal with, efficient and overwhelmingly helpful. I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands so I was so grateful for her help and pleasant attitude. I have paid the full amount by credit card and I would not hesitate to use her again or recommend her to friends.
Kind regards and many thanks,
Brenda
I am writing to say that in booking our trip through Deborah Reed we had great communication and service through the whole process.
We will plan on working with her and Emerald Kite in the future.
-Nancy
I just reserved a home though Mary Sue and she is awesome! Very professional and friendly! I have been looking for a vacation home for a few months and have dealt with all types of realtors. Some of them I never heard back from. Mary Sue called me the first day of my inquiry! AND within a very short time she found a place for us! My husband and I have never vacationed in Sanibel and Mary was very helpful in giving us some insight to the island. I will definitely be using her from now on.
We can't wait to discover Sanibel and Captiva!
-Veronica
Great staff! Couldn't believe I called and within 20 minutes had a place on the beach within my budget. Already have the paperwork and it has been process. Got the confirmation within a couple of hours. It has been a very pleasant experience working with our very friendly and professional staff. Thanks!
-Mary
Hi Linda – we have not yet stayed at our place that Sally helped me find but I have to tell you she was a delight to work with. She was conscientious, intuitive and thoughtful throughout the whole process of finding a place for us to stay.
I would call her again in a heartbeat for assistance.
Just wanted you to know what a pleasure she was.
Thank you,
Pam
Sally,
We had a great time and I just wanted to thank you for helping me with this location.
If you ever come to Michigan to go to the Cherry Hut stop across the street to my office and say hi.
Take care,
Matt
Dear Sally,
Just a quick note following our stay.
We have rented more than 10 properties in the Longboat Key and Anna Maria Island area and this was the best – and by some margin. The location, amenities and general standard of this property are all first class.
We are very keen to work with you again to find a property for Christmas this year. Do you think that you could help us?
Please let us know.
Kind regards.
Paul
Sally,
Eddie & I wanted you to know we really like the unit we rented through your company! Your assistance was much appreciated.
Hope you are having a super day!
Thanks much,
Velma
Thank you Sally -
I think we have decided to go with the VRBO house (mainly because it comes with a crib, height chair and stroller... which is a HUGE convenience when traveling with kids). I hope this doesn't sound strange... But I'd like to send you a thank you for all your help! You were honestly the kindest person I encountered. You were so very helpful and I can't tell you how much I appreciated all your help. You were truly the only person I spoke with that provided customer service. If you would let me, I'd love to send something to say thanks. Perhaps to your work address?
Thank you again!
Jerri
I just want to thank Kelly for helping us find a condo on Anna Maria Island. I spent hours on the internet and finally made the call to Kelly. She acted quickly and we had a place nailed down in just over 24 hours. This was very helpful since we had left it a little late and we were relieved to finalize the reservation.
Thanks again,
Ella Mae and Dave
I just wanted to drop a short note to report what a pleasure it was to book through Sally. She was very professional and found a property that exactly matched my needs. I look forward to working with her in future seasons. Thanks. Have a great day.
-Joe
Dear Linda,
Working with Sonia was a delight. I would certainly refer any friends to Emerald Kite without hesitation.
Regards,
Ronnie
Linda,
I was given your name / E-mail for the provision of feedback on rental accommodations recently organized by Mary Sue of your office (Emerald Kite).
In summary, we recently rented a condo for the month of March, 2014 on Anna Maria Island, FL. It was truly a joy working with Mary Sue. She was very pleasant and helpful, and gave the feeling that she truly cared. I have worked with many agents over the years of coming to Florida and she is clearly the best.
I hope this information is helpful. I would not want her to change a thing.
Regards,
John
Hi Linda,
I recently made a vacation rental reservation with the help of Sandy. I just wanted to let you know she was extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly. She did a great job and I truly appreciate her help!
Thanks,
Erin
Thanks Sally, you are an excellent agent for your organization. I'm the coordinator for our group and you have helped me navigate the variety of options available. When we make a decision and I hope it is soon, I will let you know. I intend to keep your contact info for future reference.
Thanks again for all your attention.
Cathy
Hello Sally,
Just a line to tell you that the Islander Club is by far the best we have ever stayed in it is excellent and we both just wanted to thank you for giving us the opportunity to book it, it is much appreciated.
Kindest regards,
Merton
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help with our vacation on Anna Maria Island! Everything was perfect (well, except the weather, but we won't hold you responsible for that!). The houses were so close and both were great!! We sure wish we could buy the big house... I could get used to living like that. The whole family was happy, which is not an easy thing to do... so thank you again very much! We will definitely contact you again for our next vacation to Florida!
Sincerely,
Tara
Anne was great; worked with us on the details and our many questions, and was patient through the process.
Kim
Thank you for your email. Anne, in your office, was very helpful in finding us a great deal for our upcoming vacation. We are also planning to go to the Bahamas or somewhere in the Caribbean at the end of our summer break and will definitely contact your office to help with our accommodations for this trip and also our future trips to Longboat.
Thank you,
Darlene
Linda,
I just wanted to give praise where it's due and must say that Sally was the loveliest woman to work with for the past week while I was looking for the perfect vacation rental.
Not only did she "turn me on" to Anna Maria Island - but she didn't give up on searching for what I wanted within my budget!
She is knowledgeable about AMI and I'm glad she steered me there.
I am anxious to vacation with my family and just wanted you to know what a stellar employee you have!
Thanks for your great customer service.
Sue
Dear Sandy,
Thank-you so much for all your help in finding the rental property for us. You did a fantastic job and we are really pleased with the property in Lido Key.
I have received all the paperwork from Leslie and can now sit back and look forward to our stay!
We shall be making this trip every year for my husband's business so I will definitely be in touch earlier next year to make the reservations.
Many thanks,
Val
Dear Sally,
Thank you so much for the documents and the itemized list of costs. You have been extremely helpful and it has been a real joy working with you!
Receive my warm regards,
Susana
Thank you for your help with this reservation. Your patience was greatly appreciated. We will definitely use you again.
Erich
Sally, after so much time and energy vested, we are going to be staying with my parents. You found great places but the logistics would be too difficult. I greatly appreciate your efforts. It clearly shows you enjoy your job and you are great with customer service!
I'm not a stranger to Florida and will be coming back. I will be contacting you to help me but with greater lead time and NOT during spring break!
Manette
Hello Sally,
Thank you for your email and I am sure that with your expertise you will be able to find us accommodation. We have every faith in your ability and appreciate your efforts.
Regards,
Merton
Hi Sally – I just wanted you to know that we had a wonderful time.
Thanks so much for your help.
Kathi
Sally,
I just want to thank you for all your help finding our vacation rental. It has been really nice working with you.
Thanks again,
Leigjann
Hi Linda – just want you to know how incredibly accommodating Sally has been. This is the second year I have received great service from her and just can’t tell you how wonderful she has been. She always goes the extra mile, is thorough, concise, very pleasant and efficient.
Thank you!
Pam
I want to tell you how impressed with the quality and efficiency of the service I received from Sally. Just last week I browsed several sites for possible rentals in Long Boat Key. My wife and I have been there several times and we know the location very well. Sally responded quickly and professionally and she dealt very well with me as we worked to narrow the possibilities. She was both understanding and flexible and was trying to work hard to understood what my wife and I wanted and she succeeded. We now are set for the two month rental and I have Sally’s information in my address file for future reference.
Thanks much,
Mike
Sally,
Having been a member of the Louisville, Ky Board of Realtors since 1965 and member of the Home Builders Association Of Louisville since 1984 plus developing and owning shopping centers, office buildings, and subdivisions in the Louisville and Nashville area I believe I know a good sales person / employee when I run across one. You have done an excellent job for me and I hope you will forward my appreciation of your efforts on my behalf to your principals.
Sincerely,
Syd
Dear Sally,
I got the utmost respect for you as a professional person. You got the best attitude and knowledge that put you on the top of my list...
Thank you for so being professionally perfect, prompt and precise.
Because of that reason, I will stick with you all the way.
Thanks again.
Daniella
Hey Sally,
Thanks so much for the information, we'll make our airline reservations first then will call you to book our reservations for the yellow building.
You may have been the answer to our prayers.
Again, many thanks.
Jackie
Hi Sally,
Thanks for spending the time to answer my questions today. You will be receiving my fax later today, and thanks to you and Sonia being our reps, we are looking forward to our vacation more than ever.
Warmest regards,
Vince and Georgiann
Thanks for the email - really like this place but I'm afraid we've already confirmed a place. And I would never consider you pushy - more like a great asset. Thanks again for your time and efforts. Passed your name to an associate at work who's looking to visit Longboat. Will also contact you as we begin planning our December trip.
Thanks so much~
David
By the way Sally – we loved Mountain Haus in Vail! Our 4 bedroom condo had the best view in Vail we believe! We just didn't get the snow we wished for, but it was a great holiday. Thanks for your help. I'll keep your contact info for our next trip, whenever that may be.
Sincerely,
Cheryl
Thanks a ton for everything, Sally! We're thrilled. You rock.
Herz Family
Perfect! Thank you Sally for all your help.
Will use you again!
Sally
Hi Leslie! Sally was awesome... very prompt and I will definitely use your service again! Thanks so much for your follow up!
Suzi
Thanks Sally,
You're setting the bar pretty high for your field, glad I found you.
John
Hi Sally,
Elaine and I enjoyed working with you and admire your professionalism very much. Believe me, it is extremely rare today.
Best regards,
Bob
Sonia,
We are very pleased; and once again, thank you for all the work you put into finding this property for us. The location is perfect!
Sincerely,
Sue
Just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you how impressed I was with dealing with sally and your company. Having not been to the area. Sally providing some keen insight into the area(s) and found us a place that looks great. So excited about the upcoming trip.
Thanks again,
Jack
Thanks, you've done a wonderful job! We are all thrilled with the info on the house, the great price and the way you worked with us on a short-term rental. We are ready for a great vacation!
-Betty
It has been a total pleasure working with you Sally! Terrific customer service! The BEST!
Thank you,
Sue
Sally,
Those properties are lovely, but not what we are looking for. What I am most impressed with is YOU! I know that this is your busy season, yet you took the time to explain and send recommendations. Thank you for your efforts and kindness. It goes a long way. You are wonderful. Have a beautiful day!
Pamela
Hello Sally,
Thank you very much for all your help. It was a pleasure working with you, you made everything so easy! I will definitely recommend you to friends.
Rosemary
THANK YOU - Seriously, this always happens to me!
Thank you for understanding - I can't wait to see what you can find - We will book as soon as you find us something.
You are wonderful.
Lee Ann
Good morning Linda.
I received confirmation yesterday my information had been received.
In reply to your message below I would have to say the service I received from your office is superb.
Deborah was wonderful, attentive and helpful. Your follow-up was immediate and efficient; and there was an immediate reply from Sally saying info had been received.
Without going into a long explanation we spent literally hours on the internet trying to find a place with VRBO, Michael Saunders, etc., only to find virtually no reply or sincere interest. Indeed we were late in starting our search but the total lack of follow-up was surprising.
Not so when we got to you and I thank you for your fine service.
For the record, we will be back next year and certainly will contact you.
Thank you for your service to this point and will look forward to our arrival on Feb 1st 2014.
Sincerely,
Don
Thank you very much for your first class service. We are excited to spend our vacation in this beautiful rental. We have had excellent courteous service from your highly knowledgeable Emerald Kite Coast 2 Coast Vacation Agents.
