BeachLover2,
Thanks for the info. Don't have detail with me at work, but seem to recall we're booked in unit #50. GWE has (perhaps had) such a nice little walk-down to the beach, but looking at photos from just east of there, suspected it might not have survived...

GWE walkover was the only one within miles that made it through Ivan - so hopefully it survived Dennis.

Just a suggestion.
Please leave this thread for updates to be made on the area when viewed by local people. There are so many requests hitting that the requests are not being read by someone who actually could answer the question. I know everyone is anxious, I am also. If anyone has any first hand observations please post them .

This is mostly off-topic and i really apoplogize, but i could find no where else to post this-
My family has never stayed in SoWal before (our Pensacola Beach condos were comletely destroyed during Ivan), and we would like to know what to expect when we arrive at the Crossings in Watersound Beach two weeks from now (
). I would appreciate it a LOT if someone could answer these questions: What does the water look like after the hurricane? Do yall' frequently get jellyfish (esp. Man O' Wars)? From the map, it looks like Watersound is a good distance from more popular beaches like Sandestin-are there any good places to shop or eat in our area?
Thanks so much to anyone who answers any part of this, but i'll totally understand if no one does, there are more important (and on-topic) questions to answer here! I'm sure that everyone will enjoy our time at SoWal, however, it looks beautiful!

I've been touring today looking at specific properties and communities for my real estate customers. Here's what I saw:
Blue Mountain - Brickyard: great shape. no damage. doesn't appear to be any water damage at Porpoise and Flounder. Lots of leaves and other yard type debris.
Blue Mountain - Grande Beach: walkover is gone. houses appear fine except the one that is getting new stucco. From the walkover, a few properties to the east (between the public access and Grande Beach) a house or condo was perilously close and over the bluff. This was yesterday about 5 (during the storm), so it could be worse now.
Blue Mountain - Public access: walkover is gone. flagpole is gone. bluffs and cliffs a shear wall.
Grayton Beach - Beach: Western Lake has changed course and washed out the new beach walkway closer to the beach. It is flowing out to the gulf, but is still high. Dune lost on the park side of the lake. Westernmost home in a precarious position - porch is suspended way above the beach with no support. Sand is dirty. Broken beach tent remains on the beach too.
Grayton Beach - Homes: Cottage Street flooded and I suspect that most of the homes will have water damage. Conch Out lost a bit of siding but looks to be in overall good shape.
Grayton Beach - Other: Western Lake dock is gone. Huge pile of debris in front of the Casa. Red Bar appears undamaged.
Lakeplace: Electricity stayed on; cable went out last night and came back on a few hours ago. Dock is gone. A gazillion pieces of walkover, dock, pavilion, etc. in the northwest part of the lake. Home that is getting new stucco appears to have gotten wet. Another home had roof damage. All others appear fine.
Seaside: Same story with walkovers and loss of beach.
Seacrest North: House on Flip Flop Lane looked fine. All other homes around there looked good too.
Village of South Walton: Also looked good.
Rosemary Beach: Saw no problems with any specific houses - some were boarded, some not. I looked specifically at a few south of 30A, Round Rd, Rosemary and Abaco and they all looked fine. Couldn't get to the beach access to look at the beach. I imagine that it is the same story again with walkovers and loss of beach. Public areas looked great and they had a slew of folks working and cleaning this morning.
Inlet Beach: I understand that several homes were lost on the east section. At the Orange Street access, it was not nearly as damaged as the others. The flagpole was still standing! Condos at Inlet Dunes are fine and the pool is probably clean by now. Beach got washed away, but some dunes remain.
Hope that helps some of you -

Does anyone know if the beachouses right on the beach between Eastern Lake and the Gulf survived? San Roy Avenue I think.
