Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

Attn Owners, how many of you were contacted by your rental agencies to board up your houses, condos, etc?...If you were or weren't, who were your agencies?...Best of luck to all owners down here...

Our mgt. company (Coastal Properties) said they had someone who would be bringing in furniture, grills, etc for $50 a trip. I'm assuming that's what they did for us. They don't offer someone to help board up, and they don't seem to alert owners to tell them to come and board up either. I think they assume we watch the Weather Channel!

I'll go ahead and add my request. Hopefully, it won't be lost in the pile of others.

My particular area of interest is is the 400 block of Blue Mountain Beach Road. This would be the area just to, and around, the neighborhood beach access at the intersection of BMBR and Gulf Point Road.

Someone posted that the erosion was particularly bad in this area, with the foundations of some homes exposed. Any info is GREATLY appreciated, as I can't get in touch with the rental agency who handles the property.

Does anyone have any information on Grant-A-Wish at the end of Gulf Pines subdivision (Sandestin area?) We have our family of 15 coming down in a few weeks! Thanks!

Pinnacle Point - just saw it on the news. The first floor condos were filled with waves at some point during Dennis. Pinnical Point is next to Carillon Beach, and already had extensive damage from Ivan, then more from Cindy.

Ok, SJ, I'll give it a go:
Since "the big house" at Gulf Trace (gulf-front, next door to the office, #257) looks like it may or may not be a go (pic in post #319 - thanx SJ!) for our annual trek on 7/22 (rental office not yet answering phones)...

Anybody out there have some place else we can rent 7/22-7/30 -- that has a minimum of 6 bedrooms?
(That's why we rent "the big house" - we're 12 adults + 6 more aged 8-16!) :roll:

We are in Magnolia Hill (one row back in Gulf Trace) beginning the 16th. We rented direct but need information and the owner is out of country. I didn't know there was a rental office. Can you post the number?

WITHOUT THIS SITE ALL OF US "RENTERS" WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER TO START OUR FIVE TO TWELVE HOUR TREKS TO OUR FAVORITE SPOT. GREAT COMMUNITY SERVICE!

Thanks!

JB, PM me which house is yours. (description/ address) I was down there yesterday, but it is difficult to assess the damage from the road, but you can see the cliffs begin at the edge of some of the houses near the access to which you refer. Those homes to the west of that access are noticeably in danger. I am heading that way in a little while and will check for you.

I bet the office is going to be swamped for a while. The owner has suffered major damage to his personal properties. If you are one row back in Gulf Trace, there is no problem. Come on down and have a great time.

I just wanted to let everyone know that we love Seagrove Beach and have been coming there for the past 8 years.

My family is heartbroken by the pictures of property damage and the beach erosion, but we are thankful that lives were spared.

We have a trip scheduled to Beachside Villas next week (7-16) and hope we still get to come down.

Thanks for all the great info! The beach looks very sad, but hopefully it will recover soon.

Did anyone happen to snap any pics of Beachside Condos? That's where we're booked for August, in one of the 2nd floor gulf front units..

Thanks, Joe! We're coming down, no problem. The wives (read "bosses") are just worried about the kids and the local beach there. In the pictures, I didn't see a severe drop-off like there was at Seaside, etc. It looked more gradual. Since this is our first time in Gulf Trace, I'm having trouble interpreting the pictures for our wives. And if mama ain't happy....
