"Growing up we’d always come to Stone Harbor for two weeks every summer, and they were the best two weeks of the entire year, and we always wanted our own house in Stone Harbor. And I remember b egging my father and trying to convince him that he should buy a place, and he would hem and haw, but I always knew he wanted one because he grew up coming down and visiting his Uncle here in Stone Harbor, who had a place on 111th Street. So, one summer, I think I was 12 or 13 years old, I found a found a phone number for real estate company in Stone Harbor, and Mr. Merkle answered the phone, and took the appointment to take me and my father to see a couple of houses. And eventually - I’m not sure how long it took, maybe a year or so - we found one and here we are, twenty-something years later, and it has been the best place ever. We come down all year round, and I think that’s been more New Year’s Eves here in Stone Harbor than anywhere else, and I had my Sweet Sixteen party here, and now I get to share it with my grandkids who love coming to Grammy and Ted’s as often as they can." - Heather

"Three years ago, my daughter and I were on a search for a property in Stone Harbor, trying to convince my husband that this would be a good idea. And we caught Hugh Merkle by chance. He showed us a condominium originally, and decided that that probably wasn’t going to work for us, because the reason I wanted to make a move was that my daughter and grandchildren would spend the summers with me in Stone Harbor, and our husbands would come on the weekend. And it’s been a dream of mine and my husband’s for a long time. Hugh directed us to look at lots that were over-sized, probably not quite as close to the beach as we would have liked, because we had a budget and we were very concerned about it, and he was very gracious and very helpful in trying to have us stay on budget. But he found us a place, suggested we come see it, and we came down in the fall, and it was perfect. The house had already been removed, so all we had to do was go ahead and develop plans and build the home. He was great at finding the lot in Stone Harbor, great at pointing out the advantages of this particular lot, and also was wonderful to work with while we were building our Stone Harbor home. He was a great resource, constantly available to us, and continues to be available to us even today when we have questions or concerns or want to know things about the Stone Harbor community. He’s just a pleasure to work with." - Becky
