She is not from Kentucky. Let's keep last names out of this. ...and I am not looking.

HMMM- actually I'm trying to talk myself into forgetting about that next growing weather thing in the Atlantic. In Harry Potter terms, "She that shall not be named".

That's the house "Down by the Sea" Cottage St - looks like it faired well.
Thanks SJ

Smiling Schmoe - you live in the best treasure of all

Jdarg - When you come down rent a couple kayaks and explore the dune lakes. It is the most fun we have when we are down there. Try Western Lake and follow the canals behind Watercolor. Some pretty cool water lillies are back there.

Thanks for all the info and honest assessment. This website has been extremely helpful! Thanks! I really feel for the people who live and own there.

We are due there 8/6-13 and do not wish to come now. Do you have any idea if owners and/or BRoSW are allowing cancellations and deposit refunds since it's really not what was reserved originally? I understand that there are other things to do there besides play on the beach, but the beach is virtually GONE and that's the reason we were going to drive 12 hours to get there. If we wanted a condo/hotel with a pool, area concerts and movies etc, we could stay home.

Any advice for a renter ?

I was there last October (13 years of vacations there). One month after Ivan. The beaches were not at their best & you could still see some damage from the hurricane. However, it did not stop us from driving to one of the open beach accesses daily to enjoy the still beautiful beach and waters of the Gulf. I brought a friend along (a first time visitor) who still managed to fall in love with the place - even though it was not at it's best. IMO you should go,make the best of it and support the businesses and area. They will need our support in order to recover from this.

From a former Pittsburgher --- Yenze are the best. Have a IC light and a Primani sandwich for me.

Absolutely RPB! My husband and son love to do that! Very much in the plans for this year too- will be a good way for all of us to see the landscape changes since last year (and last week). My best pics of my daughter were taken when she was 2 and "paddling" the kayak in the Westrn Lake outflow (we call it the river). Now she is almost 4 and thinks she needs her own ship.
Yet another great activity in Grayton!

Took me a while, but I finally decide to read the street names which I pass by all the time. Your home looks fine, except for maybe two or three shutters which appear to be missing. The pool looks clean by the way.
