Can anyone bring back that mind control photo of David Hasselhoff wearing a David Hasselhoff bikini on a David Hasselhoff bikini on a David Hasselhoff bikini ...... :shock:

Last night, we went to The Old Florida Fish House, on Eastern Lake. I had thought by the name it would be more of an old time casual fish house but it is more upscale than that. Not over the top or fancy, just very pretty inside. The service was great. The signiture dish, "Fish House Grouper"...

Educating the guests to the area via the tourist board and rental agencies are great ideas! But let's not forget all the other folks in the area, especially people who own homes. I have seen people that own homes in an area, and should know better, trample Private gulf front property in...

[/SIZE] Okay. Okay. I'll tone it down a bit. How's This: "Mind the Dunes" (or you'll be shot)

I think All these ideas are great, if not for the pure reason they have peole thinking about saving the dunes! The dunes are still very unstable. I have seen 2 MORE feet crumble away from the pilings supporting our home since MONDAY. They will continue to crumble until they assume their 30...

Thank you for the info ! Do you have some names and numbers of firms that bring in sand? We need some fast! In another thread I saw someone may have called Sterling Building Specialist but I wasn't clear if they were engineers or sand sellers. Thanks. .

Homeowner's Assoc and rental companies have been notified. The western end of Eastern Lake Road has been taped off and STILL there were people lifting up the tape to cut across to get to the beach! They are not only putting themselves in danger but our HOMES. Contacted Walton County...

Thanks everyone for educating me!! I am NOT a marine biologist or fisherman (just play them on TV) but after I saw his teeth, I used a net with a really long handle to scoop him up and put him back in the water. :shock: (This thread is much needed light hearted banter to keep my mind off...

Re: Beach Accesses - post here

oooo, I like that phrase ! :lolabove: I've got to think of a way to use that at the next cocktail party I go to.

Re: Beach Accesses - post here Sadly- there is NO PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS FROM EASTERN LAKE RD The 2 public accesses, at Ramsgate and at Eastern Lake on Gulf Dr are both CLOSED. PLEASE do not try to use them. There are gulf front homes near them that have sustained serious damage (even if...

Thank you, everyone, for your good wishes. :D My neighbors and I are holding on. We've been through Opal, Francis, Ivan and Dennis. We'll make it through this, too. We have gotten the permission from Walton County to close that end of the street off and are in the process of tapping...

I am very thankful that so many homes have pulled through Dennis with little or no damage. Sadly, this is not the case for all of us... my home included. We have sustained significant damage and will be closed for months as we were after Ivan. The dunes have eroded away at least 20 feet and...

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't make myself clear. We paid for and put up sand fencing in front of our home OURSELVES. We tried to put it back up again after Arlene and the county said NO, we had to wait until the Fall. Just wondering if they would lift that restriction.

Does anyone think the county will let us put the sand fencing back up before the end of Turtle Season? Our fences were washed away by Arlene. We were told we could not put them back up until the fall. As you can probably tell, I love turtles, but we felt so exposed for Dennis and it seems...

Dusty-Two new threads would be great! How about this ??? : 1. Bizarre Rental Experiences- Crazy or funny stories for homeowner's to share. (a seperate greivance thread could be started by someone else if they wanted.... too many negative vibes for me) 2.Renter's Thread- advise and...

Perhaps we can have a new thread for "Most Bizzare Rental Experience" It might give the homeowner's an opportunity to blow off a little steam without offending the majority of guests who are GREAT! (We really do love guests and hope they continue to come here, but some crazy things HAVE...

On a lighter note ...... My children and I found this fish washed up on shore and have no clue what it is. Does anyone know? It measured 8-10 " from its nose to the tip of its tail. I thought it was dead and screamed when it jumped. :shock:

I applaud everyone's right to express their opinion and this is a fabulous forum to do just that. There is good and bad in everything and perhaps generalizations should be avoided. :idontno: We rent out several homes in Seagrove and like having guests! I think this is probably true for...

Re: Dennis - damage reports Yikes. :( If the beach area in front of SeaWatch was badly damaged, how did the beach in front of Ramsgate do? It is only a few blocks east and much, much narrower thanks to Ivan.

Here is one of the most sinful yet simple desserts you can make: Sea Turtle Bars 1 box (12 oz) vanilla wafers (Nilla brand ONLY) 3/4 cup melted butter (not margarine) 1 bag (10 oz) chocolate chips 1 cup chopped pecans 1 jar (12 oz) carmel ice cream topping 1. Crush Nilla Wafers -...

I'm with you, Paula! I use my crock pot a lot ... especially at the beach. I don't want to spend too much time cooking and the kitchen stays cool. Here is a simple but yummy chicken recipe: Chicken and Stuffing From Fix It and Forget It for Entertaining 4-6...

Hey, wait a minute.... that piece of wood over on the left looks familar. Guess we'll have to wait until October to put it all back up. Hope Hurricane Ophelia doesn't hit before then.

We put up 14 brand new sand fences just before turtle season. Saw one of Kurt's pixs of our home and they are ALL GONE. If you find it, I'll come get it! (thankfully our home is still there and I think the fences did help a little) Our insurance does not cover a lot of things including sand...

I have heard about a bull shark in Western Lake for about 4 years now. Thought it might have been local legend ... guess not. I have seen water mocassins in there. I was talking to the rescue workers right after the rip tide incidents 2 years ago. They said there is an 11 foot Hammerhead...

Thank you for updating everyone on the current ordinance ! If you want to get a fire permit from the Sheriff's Department, tell them where you wish to have your fire. They'll be able to let you know if it is allowed there or not and may save you some trouble. Many gulf front homeowner's...

Hi Paula- Gulf-front beach ownership varies with location, but often it is down to the 'mean water' mark. (I have never heard it described as to the 'high tide' water mark) The mean water mark is defined as the average location of the water's edge. This sometimes means the land owner owns...

In this area, new developments usually sell while still in the planning phases. By the time the infra-structure is built, you can bet the lots have already been sold. I believe there are lots for 're-sale' in the S/D about $700-800 and up. There is a lot with a Coldwell Realty sign that is one...

I am very familiar with the location to which you are referring: As you go East on 30-A, past Cafe 30-A and Beach Java, Eastern Lake Road splits off to the right just behind Abbott Realty. (the yellow building that now has a trailer next to it) Continue on Eastern Lake Rd one block and...

I'm ready for summer, too, but I sure do like having the beach all to myself. Thought we were getting a tornado the other night. Almost brought out the old window boards! (PS River Otter-Thank you for your help with the sites for the Christmas cards :D )

A friend sent me one of the prettiest e-cards I've ever seen. It's from a company in England and free to preview. Happy Holidays Everyone ! :D Holiday Cottage: http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?pv=XS01EN Must See This Turkey Card...

We went to the 50% off sale at Sockeyes at Baytowne in SanDestin yesterday and they said ALL the Sockeyes were going out of business. They didn't know when the one in WaterColor was closing. Maybe they're waiting until the holiday shopping season is over ....retail can be a tough business. :(
