Went there last year, best hotel I’ve ever been

TO KAY HILL ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE HOTEL
In the shadow of the lighthouse, where Oyster Lodge lay,
Stood not just a structure, but the heart of dear Kay.
From ballet to banquets, its halls echoed song,
Yet amidst all its splendor, it's to Kay it belonged.
Ken and Kay, by blood and by bond, they spun,
Dreams into reality, under the gold sun.
Yet it wasn’t the brick or the echoing halls,
But Kay's spirit that shimmered, through Oyster's walls.
To Portugal she'd travel, land of fado and lore,
Bringing back mosaics, to adorn the floor.
They sparkled and gleamed, a sight to behold,
Stories of her journeys, in each tile retold.
The rose garden bloomed, Kay’s pride and delight,
Its petals a canvas of red, pink, and white.
From its blossoms so fragrant, the Grill Room did gleam,
With fresh flowers on tables, where diners would dream.
Monarchs and stars, in the Pearl Room they danced,
Yet amidst all the glitter, it was Kay's love that enhanced.
For amidst the glamour, her heart pure and true,
Was drawn to her garden, where roses and memories grew.
When her time came to depart, to the sky she did soar,
Her ashes were scattered, where roses galore.
In the heart of the garden, where petals fall light,
Rests Kay's spirit, luminous and bright.
So, the Oyster Box stands, more than just stone and beam,
A testament to a dream, and Kay’s lasting dream.
For beyond its grand walls, and the vast ocean's song,
It’s the essence of Kay that lingers all along.

Hi David, I am in the process of compiling a video for a client of mine for their sales incentive clip, and the Oyster Box Hotel is part of their itinerary. I am looking for some quality Oyster Box HD Footage. Would you object to me using some of your footage in the clip. I would greatly appreciate it.
