Okay, so I'm lounging on the beach with a margarita in my hand ...

<p>Well, at least I could be if only I could find the perfect place. Three families (8 people), mine included, have plans to do a beach trip in July. We have done this several times in the past, and have had the best time. Unfortunately, we are finding many places are booked for the time we want to go. We are looking for a 3 BR, 2 BA gulf front condo somewhere along the Alabama/Florida gulf coast from July 9 - July 16. Any of you fine folks out there either have a condo you rent or know someone who does? Have any of you stayed in a place that you especially loved? Thanks for any info!</p>

<p>Try Dune Allen–20 minutes east of Seaside. </p>

<p>Another vote for the Grayton/Seaside/Dune Allen area. You might also try, St.George’s Island, a little further east, offshore in the bend. Ivan has really messed things up in the Gulf Shores/Pensacola Beach area, so the pickings are still slim, although some of the larger buildings are up and going. The smaller 4 story condos were hit harder.</p>

<p>These guys are the biggest players in Gulf Shores, you’ve probably heard of them in Tenn, if they don’t have anything, it may be hard in Fort Morgan (which was much less damaged) or GS. I will ask around at work, too, and see if anyone has a private rental with openings.</p>

<p>Oh and send me a PM, because I will be at the beach that week.</p>

<p>You might do a google search for rentals on Ono Island. It’s a private island between Gulf Shores and Orange Beach I think. My old boss had a house there and we went several times, but it’s been 10 or so years ago. I don’t have any current info, but it might be worth a try.</p>

<p>Try Watercolors near Seaside.</p>

<p>Thanks, all! I knew I could count on my cc buddies to have wonderful info on a beach trip. In my mind, I’m already there. :)</p>

<p>Splashmom,</p>

<p>Never has your user name made more sense!!! :slight_smile: :)</p>

<p>Can I come, can I can I can I???</p>

<p>Don’t know about SplashMom, but you can come see us at the beach, if you bring some of your “three” with you, and they are between 13-20 ;).</p>
