    Is there no such thing as only a TWO night minimum?

    Only need a 2 bd-rm for the nights of 8/23 & 8/24. It appears that there is nothing from Destin and anything east. At this point, i don't even care where it is or what it costs. :roll:

    It sure looks pretty on the beach today

    . I would consider this perfect! Of course, I'm sitting inside in air conditioning. :blush: (in a different state. :lol:) ..

    "6 Palms" (@ Gulf Place)

    . Just stumbled across these online. They look pretty nice. Nice virtual tour too, Kurt. Has anyone stayed here? Almost seems too good to be true (rental rate and aesthetics, etc.) How far from the beach? Fun stuff nearby? .

    PCB's Marriott Legends Edge @ Bay Point

    Has anyone ever stayed there? Golfed there? We have an opportunity to go there for a couple of nights and just wondered. (Friends have a Marriott timeshare and are giving us some time they can't use.) Looking on the map, it's east of the beach/strip. etc., located on a lagoon.

    WaterColor Rentals

    O.K., having never stayed (or even seen) WaterColor, is it a terribly far walk from cottages that are located in the Park District &/or the Camp District to the beach? I think the latter must be very far, because of the considerably cheaper rates. We've viewed on-line a couple cottages on VRBO...

    February Tempertures?

    We're thinking of flying down for 3 days in February. I have forgotten, but what is the weather/temps. like in mid-Feb.? I know you can't swim, but would it be uncomfortable to walk the beaches, fly kites, etc.?

    P'Cola Beach after Dennis?

    Since Pensacola Beach took more of a direct hit from Dennis, has anyone heard how badly they were hit, if their beaches are open? Erosion? I know they don't have the same type of sand dunes or bluffs like So. Walton.

    Local Artists

    Can someone give me names of artists in the area where I can buy local artwork/paintings, in particular, watercolors? Doesn't have to be just beach & seascapes... can also be of local, rural areas, swamps, etc.

    Long Wait at Most Restaurants?

    It's been 7 - 8 years since I've been in the area and I'm starting to realize after reading here that there are major changes & tremendous growth. (Scared... ) So, are there horribly long waits for restaurants? Like here in the Chicago area, if you don't go by 4 or 4:30pm (or wait 'til after...

    P'cola Beach after Ivan?

    What is the condition of P'cola Beach now after Ivan? I'd heard that they had been hit really hard & wondered if they'd recovered to be able to have a decent summer season. We would like to visit, if it's possible or accessible. It was our family's beach of choice back in the 70's. Any pictures?

    Carillon Beach Rentals?

    I never see anything mentioned about Carillon. We considered renting a house there - - the rates were more affordable, but we never received very good customer service. I haven't been by there in years (or anywhere in the area for that matter) & wondering what's happened to the Carillon area.

    Golf Course Review

    While searching the foums, I did not see any info on golf courses in the area. We'd like to hear what you think, pros & cons, condition/difficulty, expensive, etc.? Is Camp Creek and Santa Rosa Golf Club the only ones in the 30A area?

    Seaside & TS Arlene

    I'm starting to freak out a little. I haven't checked into this site for months & saw a few pix of TS Arlene and the errosian, etc. We live in Chicago & have reservations for Seaside in 3 weeks! We're in absolute panic at the possible condition. Of course, it will ALWAYS be beautiful, no matter...

    Fishing on the beach

    O.k., this is my 1st time posting on a forum, so be gentle. We'll be in the area in July (30-A) and want to know what kind of fishing is it that people do while standing on the shore? (As seen on the fabulous pix on this SoWal gallery) Where do you get the fishing gear, etc? We think it might be...
