Blue Mt Beach Access - East side

Wow! I know the golden house lost their new retaining wall during Arlene while the house seen in the foreground was just repairing from Ivan when Dennis hit. It wouldn't suprise me to see the house in between to fall down the Mt.

Re: Dennis - damage reports

Gulf-front in Gulf Trace is screwed. I know one man who owns 7 Gulf-front homes, and I would say he just lost an easy $10M +. Interior homes look fine in Gulf Trace.

Smilin' Jose! Thanks for the update. I just got wind of this site this morning and reading the updates is much more informational than watching the Weather Channel or CNN. Your efforts and insights are very much appreciated.

We've been coming down from Memphis to Gulf Trace area for the past 20+ years and were set to be down there this week and next. How's the electricity, septic tanks, & phone situations in the Gulf Trace area? Is there anyway in the complex to be able to get down to the beach without having to wade through Alligator Lake?

Rita, I just received your message to check on your house. I have not been into your hood today, but seing how others faired near you, I feel 100% sure that your house is fine.

More than likely we will just pass on the "civic duty thingy" by doing something helpful for someone else who needs it.

... and I will glady accept only this kind of return. Thanks for passing it on. That is what I believe life is supposed to be filled with... connections and experiences.

Re: Hey Mom!!,

OH Rooster Mac That is probably the longest note youve ever written!

and I DITTO everyword!
Karrie have a good time, no boats for me....just my toes in the sand and coffee with mybest friend-mysister and laughs with my nieces and snuggles with my husband and another week of Family tradition/memories to take until the next time.

Hey ya know our family grows and changes much like the sea/beach...and after hurricanes we just pull together get the debris outta the way stepping forward.
Renter with a smile!
Yall will have to let us know if any locals have a favorite coffee shop...we know about the Java shop in Grayton...

Any information about Bella Vita Condos on Blue Mountain Beach?

 

[goodemom]

We are located at 458 Blue Mountain rd. I'm hearing we only have about 5 feet of sand left before the "cliff" is to the house. Our brand new deck is suspended in the air on one side. I could use any suggestions as to what to do from here (be nice!). I don't know where to start. Do we have sand brought in - can we even do that? Are retaining walls allowed? Are they worth the cost vs the risk of losing it in another storm. Do we just sit back and wait until hurricane season is over? I am overwhlemed! Any help would be appreciated.
