Hi. I just found this board and wonder if you experts can help me. I am currently looking at 2 rentals in Summer's Edge. They are on Chelsea Loop. They are "Cape Cod" and "Amazing Grace". Has anyone stayed at these rentals and would anyone know the location from beach access. A map would be helpful if available.

Additionally, I noticed on vrbo.com that the beachfront houses were not listed. Would anyone know the name of them and the rental co that handles them?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
There are no beachfront homes in Summer's Edge. But the homes on Chelsea Loop are as close as you can get to the beach in that area (as is the case with on S. Ryan, as opposed to N. Ryan). It takes about a minute to get to the beach from Chelsea Loop. I know because one of my sister's homes is on Chelsea Loop (she doesn't rent it), and I have walked between the beach and there many times.

Just go to maps.google.com and type chelsea loop 32459, click satellite, and you'll see it. Of course, Tele Atlas has the street wrong (it shows the street on top of houses :yikes: -- I have complained to Tele Atlas about this), but you can see the horseshoe near their street label -- that's Chelsea Loop.

That's a great area in which to vacation. A great lake outflow for children to play in, plus no vehicles. A huge beach near the outflow.

Thanks for the info. However, I cannot figure out which house is which on the map. No matter what address I enter into google maps it points to same house. Would you be able to tell me which house is Amazing Grace and which is Cape Cod. If you know any others, that would be helpful also. TIA

I don't know them by name. Sorry. But Chelsea Loop has so few homes that why does it matter?

I concur. It's splitting hairs to ask which is which. Summer's Edge is an all-around wonderful neighborhood and either house is lovely.

Unless they have different amenities or sleeping arrangements. ;-)

I would just like to know the location of the home which I am renting if possible. And yes, some seem to have better views than others and are closer to the beach. I understand there is not that much difference but we have rented several times before in Summer's Edge and yes, some houses fit our needs and wants better than others. Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.
 
I did some snooping. "Cape Cod" is the former name of "Amazing Grace." It is as close as you can get to the beach in Summer's Edge. There is a little "driveway" (it's actually a road but only a few homes/rentals have access to it) between the house and the beach access so there's essentially no traffic. Plus on Chelsea Loop the pool is less busy than the pool for Ryan Street because there are fewer homes on Chelsea Loop. Part of yopur confusion is that Google maps hasn't photographed that home yet because it's so new.

BTW you didn't ruffle any feathers. We were just trying to tell you that there's very little difference in distance. But now I know that what you've chosen is the closest.

Really Confused Now!

Beach runner,

Thanks for the snooping. I saw on the website that Amazing Grace was formerly Cape Cod also. However, on VRBO they are 2 separate listings with different pics. Maybe same owner? Not sure.

I tried to do the pushpin thing and label ther houses on Google Earth and post it but I am not that computer savvy. If anyone could label them on Google earth and post it, that would be helpful. (I have seen this on other posts).
Its not that big of a deal. I will ultimately rent what is available at best price...
