Welcome,


"I have a fastpitch softball team, from Missouri"

I'm not too sure about the condition of your place but I'm sure the locals would love to have yall help out when you're down. I'm sure you guys could really fling some of that debris off the beach. Hope the trip turns out well. I'm sure it will.

We own a condo in there as well. As soon as I hear from my Property Mgmt folks I'll post. We got thru Ivan unscathed. Hopefully, Dennis didn't menace us too much!

Let you know asap!

Re: Checking in Seagrove Beach 7/16?

I guess I appreciate the sarcasm?

I do feel for the folks living in the path of this and any hurricane. Real news is a bit sketchy and living in Middle America makes it tough. We have multiple families coming down on 7/16 and I, as team manager, feel like I owe it to those families to get as much information as I can, ASAP.

All help is greatly appreciated!

Again, I am looking for any news on the condition of the condos, road access, and beach area for Beachwood Villas in Seagrove Beach, FL.

Thank you much!

That wasn't sarcasm. The beach will be covered with all kinds of debris when you arrive. I hope your trip goes well.

Actually, there isn't a whole lot of debris on the beaches. There aren't any shells either. It seems that the wind and waves came in at an angle that carried everything west instead of pushing it onto the dunes. Our beach walkovers may be in Alabama by now.

The area is looks great. You will enjoy your stay in Seagrove. The direct beach access from Beachwood Villas is gone, but there are other places to access the beach--Grayton, Lakewood Area of Seagrove, Inlet Beach.

Well that's good news. I figured those West of us would get our junk and we'd get the stuff from the east.

I checked out another BWV unit today for someone else. No problems. No damage to the rest of the complex that I saw.

The beaches are severely eroded and there are no beach walkovers left that I know of. Consider them completely inaccessible for the time being.

Can anyone check the Beachwood Villas Complex for the Troy Xtreme Fastpitch Softball Team from Troy, Missouri? www.xtremefastpitch.com/14u

These girls have been working all year to qualify and play in Nationals at Panama City Beach. We have heard the tournament will go on, but are worried about our rooms at Beachwood Villas. The entire team is staying there.

I would love to get a first hand account (even pictures?) of building damage, swimming pool condition, and possible beach access. No detail too small.

Any hints at things to do or see would be nice too, if we make it there this weekend. Restaurant suggestions??

Thanks so much for folks replying to this thread and the previous one.

Thank you,

I can see if I can take some pics tomorrow on my way back to Atlanta. I second CCK's report on the beach as well - things are relatively clear of debris.

In regards to your questions about Seagrove and Beachwood Villas. If you are not on the beach, you would never know there was a storm. All business are up and running including restaurants so you don't need to worry about that.

There has been very little cleanup needed in areas away from the beach so your rentals and their pools, etc. should be ready and waiting for you.

The beach is another story. At this point, they are closed.

However, there are many other things that you can do in South Walton. I don't know the open or closed status of the beaches in Bay County, but most of the accesses there are flat and you should have an easier time of getting to the beaches, if they are open. Same white sand, same emerald water, but a different atmosphere.

For many of us who live here in South Walton, we don't spend all day every day at the beach, but we can still find plenty do you. There are many family oriented activities at Rosemary Beach and Seaside including outdoor concerts, plays, movies, etc. There are pools, tennis, golf, bike riding, etc. If you had planned to go to the beach, you may have to drive several miles and make a day of it.
