Summer's Edge - visitor barometer

Same for One Seagrove Place and it looks full.

I always go by how many bikes are left at Butterfly Bikes. It is empty this week.

and they stocked up an impressive inventory over the winter. Lotsa bikes.

Summers Edge is pretty much empty today, but what do you bet that changes this weekend? I hear Seaside is sold out.

We'll be in Chelsea Loop tomorrow for the week!

Many folks had no choice but to make SoWal vacations since Lessors by and large refused to accommodate refund requests. The remainder of the summer will better foretell the damage by the spill and the number of cancellations.

Returned from vacation yesterday. All of Chelsea Loop was rented. I actually got to meet a couple of owners who were vacationing and fixing up their houses for the Summer rush. Only a couple of houses on N/S Ryan Street were empty. Even with the full load of renters, the neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. Good times had by all!

My husband and I own a home in Summer's Edge and probably what you are seeing is that several homes in there that have sold, the new owners have chosen not to rent or existing owners have decided not to rent anymore. Still a lot of great homes to rent but that may be why it does not seem to be as crowded and a little more quieter.

Today. Chelsea Loop and South Ryan pretty much full. North Ryan only about 40%. I realize next week is the 4th, but that's a touch thin for this time of year.

good crowd

I'd guess that N Ryan is more than 40%....a lot of the rental houses are occupied....and there are maybe 6-8 that are currently non-rental and most of them are empty right now. Even with all the families here it is very quiet and a great crowd!! Expecting to see more arriving over the next 3-4 days....can't wait to have another FABULOUS 4th in Summer's Edge!!!!!!:wub:

Just about full today. I only counted two with rental signs and no cars out front. We've got folks from Georgia, Alabama, Lousiana, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and one now-de-desiccated car from Arizona. They've probably soaked up humidity like a cactus, and will now be able to survive the remainder of the summer back home. :beach:

Considering the heat, late July, oil, and everything else, Summers Edge and Chelsea Loop are still quite full. I'd say 80% on both. Oddest thing, though, the vacationers aren't making nearly as much noise as they used to. I can still smell them cooking out every night, though.

I've been spying at Summer's Edge. Either some of the homes are accommodating more guests than the advertised max and are using my sister's yard as their parking places, or else people who rent/live a distance away are just parking there to get to the public beach access nearby because cars are EVERYWHERE. The two of us (one vehicle) were the only guests at my sister's house and parked in her driveway, yet people were parked all over her lawn. :pissed:

beach runner i'm worried about that problem as my neighborhood is being built out. i'm noticing many rentals have 3-4 cars.i'm going to make some type of aparatus to not allow them to park in front of my home or in front of my home. what do people do at summers edge to prevent it?

If it were my property, I would first call the sheriff's office and ask them to remove the trespassers. If that didn't work, I'd print up huge stickers that are difficult to remove and attach them to the driver's side of windshield of the vehicles parked in my lawn. If that didn't work, I would call the sheriff's office and have the vehicles towed.

Ryan Street and Chelsea Loop were pretty full up for Labor Day. Hope everyone else had a good turnout, too. We were in Rosemary on Sunday afternoon and it was busy, so I'd assume that Seaside, WC, and Grayton were hopping, too.

There were a lot of people - a little pent up SoWal Beach love in town.

The weather and sunsets we're ideal. Even the June grass receded

Technically/legally, street spots in front of SE homes are public so no homeowner can do anything about it other than try and enforce parallel parking or no double parking etc. Most homes anywhere only "own" their driveway spot.
