    Dollar General in Inlet Beach...

    Actually 2 bikers renting a house helped me get a friends' porch furniture out of harms way when we weren't sure about the storm. These guys wouldn't make Breaking Bad - expensive Harleys were too shiny and they were very helpful - they come every year and would make good renters.

    Tropical Storm Karen

    I appreciate the information. I'm still on the fence but regardless I'll be prepared, I know the route and I've dealt with bad weather before. Good luck to everyone (and hope the roads don't wash out).

    No extra cost and this does include Alexander at Palm ct.

Several restrooms and a few outside showers Only bottled...

    Seacrest Beach Lagoon Pool - who can use it?

    If u rent a house or condo in Seacrest beach (not inn at seacrest) then you should have access using laminated card left by the owner. When renting I'd email/call to ask where the beach/pool access card will be left so you are sure.

    Fresh seafood?

    I've actually gotten really good shrimp at Publix but you have to ask some questions and have a decent fishmonger available. Some are honest - some don't care. It also depends on the season - when they are getting a lot in and selling a lot to keep it fresh

    Wanted.....pug puppy

    My sister who lives "up nawth" went to dog shows and met reputable breeders. Her pug is a " not quite show material" dog who was already housebroken and trained by his owner. You might look on a pug forum to find shows and breeders.btw even well bred pugs may need later surgery for breathing issues.

    Rays near shore

    A few years ago my son and I were swimming near a huge school of these that came up toward the beach then went back out. According to what I found they do NOT tend to stay on the sand floor so you are less likely to step on them or get stung. Incredible experience.

    The Village of South Walton Fountains?

    i've had family stay @ both inn @ seacrest and the villiage over the years-depending on the condo sometimes the village ones can be larger. the villiage is closer to rosemary and has the nearby food choices but it can get crowded in the parking areas-you have to watch it biking or with younger...

    Beach Chairs all the way up to the water

    I'm use seacrest access and also noticed the difference this year in setup-really a pain in trying to have stuff @ the beach and a lot of the setups were empty even on the 4th weekend. to come through the access you already have to show a pass so it makes no sense to set up that way and it's...
