Dear Valued Friends and Customers:
		We hope 2009 is finding you happy and well. Unfortunately due to the economic conditions of the past year, we have had to downsize and will no longer be able to offer rooms at the South Wind Motel. It is now owned by someone else. The good news is that we are back! Now we get to slow down a little bit and visit with many of you we have missed over the years because we were spread too thin. Whether you call to make a reservation and speak to Sharon, check in with Tim, find Tom roaming the parking lot, or even see April chasing after the housekeepers... We will again be happy to serve you. We are also making as many improvements as we can -- the old fashioned way -- a little at a time, because the lending market is not lending. However, we know you will be as excited as we are about the changes! From our facelift in the office area, to the new condo at Admiral's Quarters, even the efficiency apartments at Sand Dunes, you will see new things we are offering. We are also making every effort to be "greener" with our cleaning products and energy conservation. We are proud to make a difference, no matter how small! On that note, we are not going "green" to raise your prices, so don't worry. We will do what we can, within our means.   This will be some of the best news you've gotten this year: NO RATE INCREASE FOR 2009! That's right, come vacation in our oceanfront rooms for 2008 prices and enjoy even CHEAPER RATES on non-oceanfront rooms!   Please check our motel websites for some updated photos of the condo at Admiral's Quarters -- (dishwasher-flat screen TV-1 bedroom-2 bath-sleeps 4) and the efficiency apartments at Sand Dunes (for larger groups, and budget friendly) which each also offer 2 baths, full kitchens and sleeping for up to 6! We are offering a different special each month this year, so tune in to our website for details. For March, there is a weekend special: Stay any 2 nights in an oceanfront room for $150 plus tax and receive 4pm checkout the 3rd day! So if you just need a break, come on down in March, we'll have the sun, the sand and the ocean waiting for you...and we'll even give you a little extra time... We appreciate your patience and your patronage in 2009, Tim and April Fizer The Admiral's Quarters Tom and Sharon Swiney The Sand Dunes
