Splendid Adventure

I'm so excited with our renovation progress! Hurricane repairs are done, now we're just putting it back together. New floors, new bed, new sofa (I LOVE it!), new television and console in the living room & north bedroom, fresh paint on the walls, cabinets & new vanity in the bathroom. Now I'm getting to get the art back up on the walls & work on the final touches that make Splendid Adventure the special getaway it is! I can't wait to share the completion pics with y'all here. It's been quite the journey!

We had a floor AND a ceiling joist damaged. They’re now fixed & we kept moving. We’re down to the few finishing projects. Here are some pics of the process. The lovely painter doing the chair legs is my kids’ godmother Laure! She’s awfully gifted!

While we are waiting on our condo board to complete a few painting projects (the pool & pool deck are done & FAB!) I just wanted to announce that we WILL begin renting for the Spring & Summer seasons. We do not rent during Hangout (which is BACK in PERSON!!!) but we do look forward to welcoming back our regulars & making new friends too. I believe you will enjoy the updates! New flooring throughout, new beds, new tv's, new paint (the kitchen is SO cute!) & a few other nifty touches. I love it & think you will too!!!

Hi everyone! We've decided that we're going to open the cottage up for rentals one week a month. If you're interested, just message me! I will find some way to pop a calendar in here!

Spring Break is over & this is the PERFECT time to hit the beach ahead of the summer crowds! Restaurants you can get into easily, dolphin cruises running, perfect fishing weather on the Gulf and empty beaches make for perfect beach vacations!

I'm so sorry! The info might help! The site is www.vrbo.com/169025 There is a triplex where the sign stands but we can still see the Gulf! I SO love here! Our deeded access is on the left side of the privacy fence you see there. The The Beach House Kitchen & Cocktails, S & S Seafood, Waves & the Hershey's Ice Cream Parlor are three driveways down to the right!

I saw this on a friend’s page & wanted to share. This is a seasonal thing as a rule. The waters must still be pretty cold.

The problems with the man-o-wars is that they look like balloons on the shore & their blue tentacles are pretty. It’s the one jelly that, if stung, you have to ride the pain out because there’s nothing to stop it. I can’t tell you how many winter visitors I have explained this to over the years. It’s a really tough sting!

If you’re stung by regular jelly fish on a public beach find a lifeguard. They have “jellyfish sting spray”. If you’re on private beach access be sure to have hand sanitizer in your beach bag. It will stop the pain almost immediately.

Purple flags are flying in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores due to the presence of Portuguese man o' war, city officials said.
