Great website...headed to Mistrals ETA 21st of this month. Our walkdown is gone of course and looking at pictures, you'ld have to have a rope ladder to get down from the unit...what is the closest beach access east or west of where we are? Many thanks and again, just a great site.

Need some advice. We have never been to this area so are not familiar with any names or structures that I have seen in pictures. We usually go to Perdido Key but could not find anywhere to stay due to Ivan damage. My family and I are scheduled to arrive July 16th to Beachfront Townhomes located on Beachfront trail. We always stay where there is not a pool because we spend all of our time on the beach. Does anyone know if the townhomes are O.K. and will we be able to access the beach once we are there? Should we reschedule? I would appreciate any advice or information.

Stay safe!

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....
You are correct, there is maybe only a gentle slope to the beach. Please use extreme caution about knocking down any remaining sand because it is very precious. Stay on the path only.

Which one? If you go to my photo album (smiling joe), you will see descriptions for each photo.


I was about to post my own request, but you caught our house in one of your pictures. That house in Grayton with the porch suspended in midair is two away from our house!

Good thing I finally registered, those were some great pics joe. Thanks so much! What a great community this board seems to be attracting. :clap_1:

Hey Arkie!!

I live north of Morrilton and we are scheduled to leave July 16th this Friday - glad to see you guys are still going. I'm still waiting to hear from the property owner that we are renting from - I know things are crazy for him.

Take care and have a great vacation!!

Looking back toward the Cottage St access.

Not sure which house is yours, but you are sure to have plenty of foam to clean off the building. These photos are about as close as I have to your house.

Could someone please check on the Seagrove Villa's and Motel for me? Just if you are in or around the area. I know the walkovers are gone, but I am worried about structural damage. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you SJ and Kurt and everyone else for all the information that has been shared.
