Visitor Guide - Download PDF - ROUGH DRAFT

[katie blue]

Some owners have been looking for a comprehensive, printable visitors guide to post in their rentals (Regulations, advice, dining, useful numbers, etc.) I'm making a PDF that you're free to download and print out. The version here is formatted and ready to print, put together from many resources including PAULA'S EXCELLENT REGULATIONS GUIDE, county info and the forum itself. Please, send me any corrections or additions that need to be made.

PLEASE NOTE:
I have left blank spaces on the cover page for you to write a handwritten "welcome" note, attach a photo, or however you'd like to personalize your guide. Also note some blank spaces in the Emergency section for you to fill in your house's phone number, address and directions (to relay to emergency workers.)

This is a work in progress, feel free to submit changes and additions.

Katie Blue you rock!!!!! You say this is rough but it looks good to me. I am going to send it to my next 3-4 renters for the weekends in Sept that we have booked and the one in October too.

If you enhance it, send that version too so I can use it too. Awesome stuff. Well done. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Katie, you are a darling!! :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:


You've done such a professional job with the Visitor Guide! That would look fantastic in a welcome book for people. I could make up a nice three-ring binder with a good cover page and pop in your pages. Voila! Happy and well informed vacationers. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

Katie Blue:

Fantastic! This is going to be very helpful to a lot of people. It could save a few lives, help people avoid bites and stings (and treat them if necessary), and show people we care. A few comments:

With the stay off the sand dune comment, it helps to say the word "because" because for some reason people are more likely to comply if they hear or read the word "because" (there are experiments on this). So, could add "because they need to be strong to protect our area from hurricane damage, they harbor endangered species..."

Add "please call before going to these restaurants to be sure they are open" (sometimes they go out of business).

Fantastic resource!

Thanks for the feedback. I need to add grocery stores & convenience/gas stations too. Also chair & kayak rentals, boat launch areas, and public beach accesses.

Internet Access (Web 30A) in Seagrove would be worth mentioning (about $5.00 1/2 hour and they can hook up your laptop for dial-in for about $20). It has worked excellent for me. The coffee shop (can't remember the name) is supposed to be good for Internet access (and it's a great coffee shop -- nice ambiance and very fine food/coffee), but when I was there in August I had a very inconsistent time getting online (it kept "crashing") so it's not yet dependable if someone really has to access email or the web.

Again, it's great you're doing this!

Walton County Public Library has computers for internet service, but I am not sure if they offer wireless for peeps with laptops. You sign up by the hour, and can make appointments.
