I don't think we'll be able to come down in Aug
How about next week? I've read somewhere there is a great deal going on a condo with free mojitos and a beach chair set up.

Don't think the thouht hasn't crossed my mind but right now doesn't look likely.

I figured it was only the "successful rental owners" who were responding....I know there are many others who are missing the mark.

Well, a week ago I would have said it has been a bad rental year. But I have been inundated with VRBO requests in the past week. That being said, May was bad. Dunno why.
June filled up really fast. July and August were slow, but are okay now. September usually books a little later.

This year people seem to be looking to save some money and are doing the short jaunts. If I had the patience and luck I would have made out better with daily rentals, but decided to just lower my rate with a no haggling policy. That worked out better. I am not gulffront, but do have views and I am not in one of the higher end developments, ie; Watercolor. Also, I noticed an increase in last minute rentals, especially on a larger property I have. I am guessing there were many waiting to see what their employment situation looked like first, gas rates, etc; and then having to coordinate with the group.

We've done quite well. Our spring was better than previous years. Had to give some discounts for a couple of weeks in summer, but we have booked up and now the fall is looking quite promising.

My observation from the beach umbrella is Rosemary is killin it. Their beach looked packed while I was down there. High Pointe seemed 1/2 full but honestly it always seems 1/2 full. I'm not sure everyone there rents which is awesome for the pool and beach. We have a great base of repeat customers and are very thankful for them.
My observation from the restaurants is way more crowded than last year. That being said we did not eat out much this year. Ate lots of frozen pizzas. But the nights we did venture out the restaurants seemed more crowded than last year.
My observation fromt the traffic... ugh... no difference, it seemed packed both going and coming to SoWal.
