Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

[Cork On the Ocean]

Since you're down there, any word on the Seacrest Beach/Sunset Beach deeded access? Since it's private I'm wondering if it will be completed faster.

Will renters at Seacrest be allowed to use the RB access? We have renters coming in Saturday and I'm trying to keep them up to date. Thanks. By the way, appreciate your great update above. The best I've heard yet from anyone. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Just spoke to a friend at the Seacrest HOA and the Sunset Beach beachwalk will be completed in 2 weeks. I always used the RB walk when I lived on the east side of Seacrest and the RB Assoc told us that there was no problem using their beachwalks as long as we didn't use their pools which are private. Your renters should be fine. Our Pool is open and the management company who has been missing just had a truck here.

We are scheduled to leave for Destin on Sunday, July 17 and will be staying at the Best Western Summerplace Inn. Can anyone tell me if that hotel sustained and damage and if the beaches in that area are open and roads are accessible. I've never been to Destin before and was and still am really looking forward to a much needed vacation. Any information and photos of the Destin area beaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

We met with a contractor with Sterling Building Specialist yesterday. He was very informative and we're waiting for a firm bid today. BUT be prepared it is very expensive, we lost about 30ft , 800-605-6586 (Dennis Hambry). Good Luck!

Hopefully they will get their access rebuilt by then, if not there should be one nearby that is complete. The county has a main access near there with a lot of parking and it should be one of the first ones rebuilt.

I'm hoping that they will be able to use all the plans and materials lists that were used after Ivan to expedite rebuilds.

THANK YOU for taking the time to respond. We are VERY excited about coming - 4 families from our area are traveling together.

Your photos are amazing. I found two somewhere last night in a string that were of Dennis coming in. Can you point me to where I can find them again?

How expensive? did you get a cost number to rebuild 30 feet?

If someone wanted to purchase one/some of your photos, how would one do so? They are wonderful.

I believe the regional accesses have large parking lots, bathrooms and picnic tables. Sort of a mini park. The public accesses are just the walk overs to the beach that are provided very frequently along 30-A.

Thanks!

Just e-mail me the file name/number and your address, unless you want to pick up. 8X10 or 14 X 20, all available in color or B&W (specify).

Thanks for the updates everyone. We have been coming to Gulf Trace for 17 years and love it. We look forward to it every year. We are staying this year at the Sea Turtle. We called Rivard and they said that they have not checked out the property yet as of 7/14. They also could not tell me the closest beach access or the status of the septic tanks. We are concerned because we are meeting family in the area and are traveling a considerable distance. We would hate to miss the trip, but would like some info before we leave. Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the hard work. This area is paradise to us.
