Growing up and living in New Orleans, the gulf coast of Florida has been our escape to paradise. In 2008, my husband and son talked about purchasing a vacation property and pursuing the short term rental market. Yes, I have to admit... I thought they had lost their minds since we had no background in the vacation rental business. Our only experience in this market was as a guest/renter with both good and bad experiences. After countless conversations and research we made the decision to head off to the beach to find our vacation home. With all the family in tow (including the grandchildren), we made many trips and looked at lots of properties. We purchased our first vacation property at the Majestic Sun in 2008. My husband (Mike), our son (Darren) and I did a total renovation of the condo. We spent many hours of painting, pulling up carpets, building cabinets along with countless trips to the local hardware stores. As the months went by filled with construction and sore muscles, the end result was the perfect beach home for our family and yours. Time flies... it has been 9+ years since this adventure began and we have purchased 3 additional properties. As always, the properties required a complete renovation to meet the standards and brand that our guests have come to expect. Through the years we have had the pleasure of renting our vacation properties to wonderful families. We have built a genuine reputation for โ€œvalue and attentive personal service.โ€ For me, it has been the most rewarding experience and I just love the interaction with all of our families. Everyone starts off as a "guest" but before you know it we have become "friends". It has been very gratifying that many families choose to return year after year and refer our condo to their friends and family. We pride ourselves on our personal service and we feel that once you stay at one of our properties, you will be back! My motto is to always keep in mind as an owner, how I would like to be treated if I were a guest at a vacation rental. I believe the vacation rental experience is substantially more personal than staying in a cookie cutter hotel and I want you to feel confident about renting one of our properties. Our Business Motto: โ€œWhere Southern Hospitality Meets the Beachโ€

So grab your beach towel...come kick back and relax with us! Regards,

๐ŸŒด PROPERTY UPDATE | FEELING BLESSED & THANKFUL! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

First, THANK YOU! โค๏ธ For all the calls, texts, messages, and check-ins. It means so much to know so many of you are thinking about us and our little slice of paradise! ๐ŸŒด

To say the last 24 hours have been stressful is an understatement. ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Mother Nature sure knows how to keep you on your toes! Mike and I have been holding our breath, waiting to see what we would find.

GOOD NEWS, FRIENDSโ€ฆ WE DODGED A BULLET! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

Hereโ€™s the latest on our properties following the storm:

๐ŸŒŠ MAINSAIL CONDOS
The HOA manager has been on-site and reports no major damageโ€”just the usual storm cleanup. Our condos have been inspected, and they are all in great shape! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผโค๏ธ
๐Ÿ”Œ No power or internet yet.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ MAJESTIC SUN CONDOS
The A building is still without power or internet. The HOA manager reported some fencing damage, a couple of broken skylights in the indoor pool area, broken glass lobby doors, and cleanup needs.

๐ŸŒด BLUE MOUNTAIN BEACH CONDOS
Thankfully, everything appears to have come through remarkably well! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโค๏ธ Only very minor damage has been reported to a few beach stairs, along with some debris and fencing issues.
โšก Power has been restored, but internet is still out.

๐Ÿšง A LITTLE PATIENCE IS STILL NEEDED!
There are reports of road issues, downed trees, flooding, and debris throughout the area. Cleanup and further assessments are ongoing, and weโ€™re still waiting for some services to return.

โค๏ธ Our hearts are FULL of gratitude. We know others may not have been as fortunate, and we certainly don't take this good news for granted.

Now, if we could just get the power and internet back, we'd be doing a happy dance! ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ•บ๐Ÿป Until then, we're thankful for the little thingsโ€ฆ and thankful that our condos are safe!

Thank you again for checking on us, and keeping our little beach family in your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate every single one of you! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

โค๏ธ A Little Gratitude Goes a LONG Way ๐ŸŒด๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

As a small, family-owned business, Mike and I are feeling especially blessed today. โค๏ธ

With the approaching hurricane, weโ€™ve been communicating with our guests, making preparations, and doing our best to make sure everyone is safe. All of our guests who were staying with us this week have now departed safely, and we cannot say enough about how gracious, kind, and thoughtful these families have been.

From bringing in balcony cushions and pillows to helping make sure the condos were secure before leaving, they were willing to lend a hand in any way they could. Not once did they have to do these things, but they did them with such kindness and without hesitation. ๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธ

It truly takes a village, and today weโ€™re reminded just how blessed we are to be surrounded by such good people.

One of the things about this business is that, although we welcome so many wonderful families to the condos, Mike and I don't always get the opportunity to meet them face-to-face. But even when we haven't met in person, their thoughtfulness and kindness speak volumes.

To each of these families, thank you. Thank you for being so understanding, for helping us take care of the properties, and most of all, for being such genuinely good people.

You could have simply packed your bags and headed home, but instead, you took a little extra time to help us, and that means more than you know. โค๏ธ

When you're a small business, those little acts of kindness aren't little at all. We notice them. We appreciate them. And we won't forget them.

Mike and I are truly grateful for every family who chooses to stay with us and becomes part of our extended beach family.

Please know that we're thinking of you and wishing you safe travels home. We hope we'll have the pleasure of welcoming you back when the skies are sunny and the beach is calling again. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

From our little family business to you, THANK YOU. โค๏ธ

Feeling blessed, feeling grateful, and reminded once again that the best part of this business isn't just the beach or the condos. It's the people.

Good morning, friends, guests & beach family! โค๏ธ๐ŸŒด A beautiful morning.
(pic is from 8:08 this morning)

Wellโ€ฆ it looks like Mother Nature may have a little something brewing for the Emerald Coast. ๐ŸŒ€ Weโ€™re keeping a very close eye on the storm and hoping and praying this thing decides to weaken rather than strengthen! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

Yesterday was a busy one! Iโ€™ve been texting, emailing, talking on the phone and communicating with our current guests about early departures, our incoming guests about their plans, and doing my best to keep everyone informed as things change.

Right now, the most important thing is keeping everyone safe, informed and updated. Weโ€™re taking things one step at a time and will continue to communicate with our guests as we know more.

Iโ€™ll be sharing updates, pictures and information here, so stay tuned! ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐ŸŒŠ

And if youโ€™re wondering what the official hurricane preparedness beverage isโ€ฆ I believe itโ€™s time for MORE coffee. โ˜•๐Ÿ˜‚

Please keep everyone along the Emerald Coast in your prayers โ€” our neighbors, our local businesses, first responders, and everyone who calls this beautiful place home. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโค๏ธ

I will keep you posted!๐Ÿ‘
