spring break 2008

[Smiling JOe]

well then...when will the winner be picked? i can't wait

First, we will need someone to keep the list of nominees, and I think everyone should be able to add a nominee, then we can put them in a poll and allow everyone to vote. Want to volunteer to keep up with the nominees?

Uh, I'm not the one with the need, Krista is, ?
What's up with all the hate anyhow? Your 'tar brags about 'One Love' ? Where is this ?

Huh? Whachu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Looks like you missed my winking smiley. I use them sparingly, but I did use that one.
From all the cons you listed, I meant that it sounds like it wouldn't suit you as a hypothetical renter (since you're a homeowner in Seacrest), but it sounds like a place that might work for Krista. I was telling myself to shut up because I'm selling it too hard and may end up having to compete for a week myself. I have nothing personal to gain from recommending Grayton as a great place to stay, just like it the best of anywhere I've stayed up and down 30A.

Dear Krista,

We have "tangentized" your thread. It happens a lot, but overall you got lucky because you now have a good bit of the info you were looking for on Grayton Beach!

If you look on the real estate section of this website, Kurt has some beautiful virtual tours of properties in Grayton too- even though I live here, I love to look at them often!

If you have kids, I would suggest a rental near Western Lake (Grayton) or Eastern Lake (Seagrove), because the kids can play in the lake outflows on days with rough surf, jellyfish, or cold temperatures. It is a no-brainer for a parent- much easier than contending with the waves/small children combo, whcih means no relaxing for the parent! Ask any of the "Lake Mamas" on this board- there are many whose children have grown up and/or vacationed playing in these 2 spots!

Another advantage is not having to cross 30A to go to the beach- and I feel safe with the kids riding their bikes around town too. Everything you want to do is safely away from 30A traffic!

When we vacationed here, one of our favorite things to do was stroll around on a summer night, watch the people waiting to eat at the Red Bar, stop in the shops, and of course spend as much time as possible on the big wide beach. Early mornings are really special here too with lots of birds around the lake.

Thanks jdarg. I always wonder what happens to some of these people that post for renting info and we never hear back what they did. Do they just forget or do they get scared away? ;-)

Well, I did post a specific link to a specific property and encouraged Krista to PM me, so surely that counts for something.
Don't be skeered, Krista.

Hi! several years ago I visited this beautiful area of our country, stayed in Carillon Village, Panama City Beach...I drove along the beaches nearby, each more enchanting than the next, all so incredible. Grayton Beach really caught my attention. I want to go back, and plan an amazing vacation for my family, this coming spring break 2008. when we go on vacation, the main goal is to decompress, to pack a small bag with the basics, swim gear, teeshirts and shorts---casual, relaxation, all the way. I am looking for a cottage/condo etc..that would sleep 6 very close to beach access. Is there anyone out there that can help a girl from Cincinnati? thanks much, Krista

hey there! i live in sowal in blue mountain beach...which is only about 2-3 miles down 30A from grayton. i like it here much better! my best friend has a condo here where i live and here is the link.
