How are your bookings going for 2011?

[Chuckster]

So your bookings are down compared to last year or other years? Or do you mean owning a rental sucks in reference to spring break?

Our inquiries are about the same as last year, however, the confirmed bookings are definitely down a little bit. They should pickup shortly. Last year was the best year we ever had, in spite of the oil! It seems more folks are bargain shopping this year. (and concerning spring break: remember, they don't call them "breakers" for nothing! We are hoping for a banner year!

We did 255 nights in 2009 and 240 in 2010, so not too bad. Had cancellations last year, but managed to book more in the back half of the year than usual.

So far we've already booked 97 nights for 2011. That is stronger than I've seen in our 7 year history at this time of year.

Knock on wood, looks like it's going to be a pretty good year to me. It seems like there was some pent up demand out there. I am not finding the same kind of requests for discounts this year as there were last year. Maybe the airport is helping, as well.

Spring break for the city of Louisville public schools begins Monday, April 4th. Private usually follow the same. UL is in March. Glad to see the colleges are mostly in March. I would prefer to be on 30A with families.
Stayed in Grayton once. The house on the other side slept about 20+. College students. Later hours. Running up and down the dunes. Complained. The people next to them (closer than us) moved.
Nothing happened. Never went back to Grayton or that realtor either.
