    Catering recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a catering service for some home cooked meals? We have a party of 12 coming next week (Watersound) and for a few nights would like to avoid the hassel of cooking. Nothing fancy, just want to heat it up and eat. Would even go pick it up.

    Draper Lake Coastal Village?

    Looking for any opinions or insight on Draper Lake Coastal Village. I have driven past it several times and the pictures look great. It seems like beach access is limited/inconvenient though. Wondering if anyone has bought in there or looked at it.

    A bonfire on the beach makes for the perfect night in Sowal

    Thanks for the information. Does anyone know if you can have these anywhere up and down the beach (aside from the stated brochure restrictions)? Specifically wondering about Watersound.

    Surfing Lessons?

    As an update, David Hopkins is a great surf instructor. He had me and the kids up in no time on small waves. A little over an hour was all we needed and he brought the boards. Feel like I made a friend. Highly recommend.

    Summers Edge v Sanctuary at Redfish

    I have found a house in Summers Edge and a condo at Sanctuary Redfish for the same price in August. 2 adults and 2 tween age kids. Can't decide which route to take. We like both the beach and the pool. We have only ever stayed in Watersound Beach before, trying something new. I guess I...

    Ramp Access to Beaches?

    There is a real nice one at Deer Lake State Park. Goes right onto the sand between Watersound Beach and Watersound West. Beach is usually empty there too. You have to pay $3 to park and the trip down the boardwalk to the beach is about 1/4 mile, but beautiful. Welcome to Florida State Parks

    Watersound West - Resales?

    Does anyone know if St. Joe Community Sales is the sales team for St. Joe inc? We are in the early stages of buying a lot and Watersound West has my interest. When I look online I only seem to find the listings from St Joe Community Sales. Does that mean there are no resales in there yet? I...

    SoWal Trip Report - Watersound

    Just recently go back from our first trip to SoWal. We stayed in Watersound for the week. Here are my observations; 1. I wish someone would build a highway straight from Montgomery, AL to I-10/331 2. The ride from Montgomery to SoWal is beautiful. Better than heading to Columbus. 3. I never...

    Casual Crab Dinner Suggestions?

    We ended up at Bayou Bill's in Santa Rosa. Food was good, service not so much. Kids had a lot of fun and everyone got to eat crabs. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Unit we were going to rent was sold

    I just found out this weekend that the condo we were going to rent in April has been sold and we were displaced. Dang. I spent weeks finding the perfect unit at a great price. It was a third floor 3br, gulf view at Watersound Crossings. I knew this was a possibility, but just didn't expect it...

    Anything like Tripadvisor?

    Those are good points. This will be our first trip to the area as a family (I have been to Sandestin for "work"). I knew I wanted to come to the area and only really expanded the search area outside of Destin b/c I was reading so much. In fact, it was by chance that I came across this site - it...

    Do people ever give discount on rates?

    Area Foreclosures

    Why do people insist on simply buying stocks. Are these not all the same stocks you would buy any time? Suddenly they make sense? Good dividends, strong business? You should check out managed ETFs and take advantage of undervalued and overalued stocks and markets. What do you have to lose? 35%

    Anything like Tripadvisor?

    Thanks. Ok, good points. I guess you are right, it seems like if I want to know something all I have to do is ask - which is a lot more fun anyway.

    Do people ever give discount on rates?

    Ok, thanks for the advice. We booked the unit. It came to a bit less than 350 per night after tax, an administrative fee (I'm still baffled by a $60 administrative fee - isn't that part of a rental agencies job?), cleaning fee. Since this is our first trip to the area I'm not going to roll the...

    Anything like Tripadvisor?

    Whenever I need to stay at a hotel I always go to Tripadvisor.com. If you've never been to that site, check it out. It rates hotels based on people's input and provides a place for reviews Here's my question: Is there anything like that for condo's in SoWal? Aside from searching around and...

    Next best site (after VRBO)? Opinions wanted...

    This is our first trip to SoWal this year. To find a place to rent I first looked at a map to see where I could get from Charlotte in 10 hours (wife's limit). I then looked on VRBO because that's just what I have always done and a generic Internet search generally takes you to one of their...

    Do people ever give discount on rates?

    Hi. First post on the site. We have decided to come to SoWal for spring break (family of 4). I have spent a lot of time looking around the site and all the other rental sites. (nice job here by the way) Here's my question: Do people ever discount rates in advance? I've seen old posts for...
