Thanks again Kurt. Ordered it one day and 3 days later it was done. Easiest guy to do business with IMO.

[Kimmifunn]

I want Kurt's job.

Do you need a publicist? I'll make you a star!

[Smiling JOe]

That house looks very nice. Kurt, great job!

[STL Don]

This is a very cool place and a great location. Kurt, another great job!!

[kathydwells]

This is a wonderful tour Kurt!!! I am trying to talk my group into this house for our next visit based on your virtual tour!!!! Thank You!!!

[Miss Kitty]

Wet Willy and Kurt...a winning combination! Cool house and tour!

[Mermaid]

Ditto! Fantastic job.

[wetwilly]

Thanks for the kind words about our house. Kudos to Kurt for showing it off so well. My wife really should get most/all of the credit for the beauty we call Lemon Drop since she is the driving force behind it. She worked with the interior folks at Bea's Interiors in Blue Mountain Beach, picked out the furnishings, selected the decorating, kitchenware, pictures, lamps, and all of the coordinating of activities. She went bargainhunting, looked for the perfect extra touch items, and made 2-3 personal trips to the house to make sure everything was A+ and top notch. Without her, this house would not have been possible.

All I did/do is keep up with the self rentals, manage any issues (not related to furnishings etc), and made sure that we got our Virtual Tour and some advertising from Kurt at Moon Creek Studios.

My wife even was the one that turned me onto this board. I'm trying to get her to post but she is just a lurker for now and she thinks that I spend too much time on here .

Seagrovelover,

Thanks for the interest. Send me a PM if you are interested. There are plenty of weeks still available for next Spring and Summer at this point (2 already booked!!) but based on our 1st season's success they will get booked up pretty fast. Plenty big too depending on the size of your group.

No fighting now ya'll

No wetwilly you don't understand, she has a whole freaking city come down with her...like 70 or 80 folks..you can't rent to her!!! Ask ktchris she knows, because she is one of them!!!! Ok, seagrovelover it is ON, at least I only have a few families to convince...you got a whole lot more!!!

Kathydwells,

Thanks for the clarification. You are right my house does not hold 70-80 folks but 18 peeps comfortably . But maybe they could book 4-6 weeks straight in the Summer and rotate the folks thru 14-18 at a time?

Or maybe a smaller group can rent mine and then a several others in Summers Edge on Chelsea Loop and Ryan Street (STL Don has one) and all play at the beach, pool at the same time!!!! We could coordinate this kind of effort.

Sounds like a good plan to me!

Not sure exactly when the beachview shots were taken but pre-Dennis though. We were there July 4th pre Dennis and then again for Laborday a few weeks ago. Honestly with the exception of the Dune restoration and some gulf front damage in some places the beaches look good, the Eastern Lake outflow and access was redone very nicely (back to pre Arlene look and feel). The Ramsgate access is being rebuilt now as posted by STL Don the other day and as previously posted the Dunes have a ways to go to recover via manmade restoration or the old fashioned Mother Nature way.

Still the most beautiful place in the universe (haven't been in space yet but... ).

[wetwilly]

I just put this house in my favorites list for next vacation. Your rates are really reasonable, too. I'm glad you posted it on here, I may have never found it otherwise. Really great looking house. My husband is a designer and he's impressed, too.

Thanks for the kind words. The rates are frozen to 2005 rates if booked by 12/31/05 and since you saw it here in sowal.com you will get a little more discount.

PM me to discuss.

This is a really silly question, but Wastin Away, do you remember where you bought the red chair pads that are at your dining room table? I'm going crazy trying to find chair pads like those! I've looked at Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn, but they don't have exactly what I want. You wouldn't think that something as dumb as chair pads would be hard to get! (Anyone else who knows a good source, chime in, too.)

Do you get Ballard Designs catalogue? The web address is www.ballarddesigns.com. Of course, I didn't even look at WA's house, so what do I know? Also try Crate and Barrel.

[Mermaid]

Merci beaucoup, Sueshore.

[Ocean Lover]

Mermaid,

Do you have a Pier One in Indy? They always carry chair pads there. Probably not as nice or durable as the ones in the catalog posted above but this way you can change colors when they wear out and you won't be out a lot of money.

[Wastin Away]

You are not going to believe this but I got them at Target. They have been great and they wash up really well.

[Mermaid]

All of you have such pretty places, I will be glad to follow your shopping leads.

[Miss Kitty]

Mermaid and WA....you knwo I am over here clapping! TARGET RULES again!!!
I think I might go there today!

[sarahj]

Sueshore, my daughter is also a big Target fan. We are getting one at Ft. Smith 50 miles away. She is so happy you would think it is going in next door. Guess I'll have to scope it out. All you good people can't be wrong.

SueShore,

I buy a lot of my things from Target for our beach house, expecially those things that you know are going to need to be replaced. I also find myself buying double so I have back-ups. Things I look for there are pillows, cushions, placemats, kitchen and bath rugs, slip covers, etc. I also find a lot of neat accessories at TJ Max or Marshalls. If you hit those stores right you can find some good buys and good prices.

The new Target in Destin is due to open on Oct 7th. Can't wait!

SGB...you are my hero! I had asked earlier if it was open yet, and now I know! I've never been to a grand opening! Is it near the Mid-Bay Bridge turnoff?

[SGB]

It's further in to Destin. It's on the north side of 98, just past Sandpiper Cove condos (I think) and before the small Destin movie theater. It's not one of those Greatland size Targets, but it looks bigger than the one in FWB.

[QUOTE=Kimmifunn]I want Kurt's job.QUOTE]


I also want to know what SJ does down there other than catch dune climbers and snap pics around the sea! These two characters have found a great need and nitch to make life a beach!

Why didnt I think to paint old metal siding or take garbage and make "art" that really is great fun, or old broken glass into great expensive art pieces! I threw away all my stuff thinking I was doing a good thing only to learn from Hula momma and others that those were opportunities-Durn
