Just wondering if the fountain at the Villages of South Walton is completed yet. Someone on this board said they were trying to complete it by March 20. Any photos of a completed fountain yet? It's near one of my favorite ice cream shops on 30A - the Carvel ice cream place.

MKH:

We're happy with the nice places we have now on our end of 30A. Fonville Press is about 1/2 mile west of the Seacrest Beach Development right at the entrance of Alys Beach (it is part of Alys Beach and has the same look and feel -- the courtyard is very calming). I haven't been to the wine and appetizer events and don't remember exactly what time they start, but others on this board do. I heard there were quite a lot of people there recently.

I haven't gotten to know Rosemary Beach as well as I should by now. What are your favorite things to do (I have to try Blue by Night soon).

Best,
Paula

Blue by Night is very good and a lot of fun, especially outside on the extra-large patio to the side of the building. We also went to a wine bar that had a courtyard-it was just a door or two down from the Pensione restaurant, I believe. I do not remember the name of it, but it had a gift shop in the back and the courtyard had a great fountain-it was very relaxing and fun. We plan to go back there again next month.

What else is there to do in Rosemary Beach now? I know there has been a lot of development just in the past 12 months or so...

Update on the fountain: It has been working very intermittently since we got here yesterday. I saw it last night at 8:30 and the colored lights were beautiful! However, I asked for more details and the Villages info guy said they are having some problems with the computer program and operation will be sporadic until it gets worked out. That should be in a couple of weeks.

Olive: I'll be at Fonville Press on May 6. Can't wait. I've only been there for coffee in the early mornings, so it will be fun to see what it's like in the evening.

TooFarTampa: Thanks for the update on the fountain. . I'll pass right by it when I come in from the airport.

Ahhh... so looking forward to the break.
