    Thanksgiving on 30a

    We were there this past thanksgiving and it was my favorite time of year to be there. We ran a race in rosemary thanksgiving morning and went to the lighting of the Christmas tree the next day. Such a great time of year for extended bike rides and throwing a football on the beach. Sunsets were...

    1st Timer on 30a with questions

    Actually you CANNOT bike to seacrest's beach access (per the rules of the community that you have to go through). The tram is great - just give it a call. or its a short walk. However, there is a great beach access just past rosemary. Bike through rosemary and turn toward the beach just past...

    Seacrest Beach

    Are you staying in the seacrest beach neighborhood? If so, you will have access to the beach via sunset beach. You can take the stroller to the top of the steps and then will have to fold it and take it onto the beach wit you. A better idea is to take the beach tram to the beach and skip the...

    Tipping

    What? You want to move to the European model? The service from wait staff there is very laid back and drives most Americans crazy! In my experience, it can take 30 minutes to find the waiter to ask for the check!

    Bad Signs for South Walton

    I like the white signs, I think they have character. As a tourist, they have been helpful. But you know, so have the sandwich boards! I kinda like those, too!

    low speed vehicles rules?

    I agree with this statement and its one of the reasons that I'm disappointed to see the low speed vehicles. I had hoped we'd be a walking/biking community. I think low speed vehicles have a place, but the community needs to be built for it -- with a special driving lanes/paths and parking...

    What's Open Thanksgiving?

    Fish out of water is open on thanksgiving for lunch buffet and dinner. Although I think we are going for option B - picking up a pre cooked turkey from Publix unless you guys fill me in on a east end restaurant that offers carry out thanksgiving meals!

    Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt wants to partner with your organization or event!

    Events like this are so popular here in Atlanta -- and they really are a great way to raise money for schools! Our elementary school actually had a chick-fil-a night tonight. The teachers take turns handing out free ice cream with sprinkles to all the kids that show up!. and we flood the...

    Pay to park in Seaside?

    Ultimately, when the towns are all built out, I believe traffic/parking will be such a problem that we will ALL stay pretty close to home. Walking and biking to where we want to go. But I don't think we'll mind because there will be plenty of shops and restaurant choices close by. Sure, we'll...

    low speed vehicles rules?

    I think enforcement may be the answer as I really don't think anyone would be able to successfully get them banned! Btw - the ones I saw behaving badly were also from classic rental.

    Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt- NOW OPEN!!

    Love, love, love this place! Open every day until 11 pm!! Just what our neighborhood needed! And the people working were so nice and friendly! We went 3 times on our recent trip! (wow! Every sentence on this post got an exclamation point! I MUST really like it!)

    low speed vehicles rules?

    Thanks for the response -- I don't think the ones I saw were yours. But I will take note of it next time. I'm still not a fan of these, but I'm glad that - at least one company - is willing to be responsible about it! So, people, if you must have one, please get it from this guy!

    low speed vehicles rules?

    What are the rules? I've seen several teenagers (13-14) driving them and not following road rules. They have been driving on sidewalks, not stopping at stop signs. . .If they are allowed on the streets shouldn't you have to have a license and follow regular road rules? If the problem is...

    Sowal Visitors, how did you learn about the beach flag system?

    I never knew about this -- it's a great idea! I just signed up to get alerts for our upcoming trip! This should be a sticky on Sowal. Get the word out!

    Best Pastries in SoWal?

    Allifunn - that is good to know. We often hit Charlie's in the morning with the kids. Then head over to the alys hill to eat them and play. I'd much rather skip the donuts (for me - not my boys!) and grab a croissant at Fonville!

    Pickles

    I have to say, you lost me at funnel cake fries! But I'm sure there are plenty that will love it. It's always been a favorite of my kids!!

    Casual dining

    Stinky's would have been my suggestion, too!

    Rosemary Beach versus Seagrove Beach

    Seacrest really is a great area for kids! The pool, the tram, Charlie's donuts trucks, alys' grass mountain and playground, the green spaces in rosemary where kids gather in the evenings for pickup soccer games!

    What are your favorite South Walton Traditions?

    There is so much to do, we try to do different things every time. So no strong traditions have developed. Unless trying something new can be considered a tradition. But we ALWAYS watch a sunset. It's my favorite time to be on the beach.

    Final payment required two months in advance?

    I can understand that they want to speed up check ins. But that can easily be accomplished by requiring payment 7-10 days out. Hopefully they will work with you! Especially given that you ate a repeat renter!

    Little italy Ristorante

    I don't think either of the complaints were out of line. They were respectful, honest experiences. I hope that they both herald their great dining experiences, too (I KNOW BR does!). And it gave little italy a chance to respond (which they did very nicely) and the champions of this restaurant...

    Fall break schedule?

    Cobb county doesn't have a fall break next year. Boo! But I'm optimistic that we may get one in 2013 or so -- it's the best time if the year to be in sowal!

    Where is your favorite beach location, other than Sowal?

    We keep looking at puerto Rico -- staying at the W or the new st. Regis. You'll have to report back as you do your research! I agree that shorter direct flights make all the difference. We were in Crete last year. I loved it and told my husband I really wanted to take the kids in the next...

    Where is your favorite beach location, other than Sowal?
