PLAN

IDEA: Rent two units for three or four days near the beach along 30A in the Florida Pan-handle.

DATES:  November Optional (14), 15, 16, 17, 18. Because a two-bedroom unit rents for only Saturday to Saturday, I would suggest dividing the total cost equally among five couples, which would be in the neighborhood of $340 to $380/couple for the stay or about $76/night. There may be some additional costs for damage insurance.

We may have to juggle this plan based on who is willing/able to commit.  The plan is optimal for three and five couples.  With four couples we could rent two of the 2-bedroom units and the cost would be in the neighborhood $425/couple. 

COMMENTS:  Evans have been renting in this area for about 20 years.  In their most recent trip they found a rental project that is in a quiet area and about 100 feet from the beach.  It was the opinion of the family (son, daughter-in-law, and two teenage grand-daughter that this place was the best they had rented.  They liked the seclusion and essentially private beach, plus comfortable bedrooms and living area.  It was located half-way between popular destinations of Seaside and Seacrest and near Panama City Beach and Destin.

The only negative was the rental does not offer a pool, tennis courts, golf, etc. 

ISSUE: In order to insure we have a place we need to commit ASAP, because these places fill up - preferably before July 31'st.  

COMMITTED:
- Bruce and Wilma Day
- Tom and Sharyn Evans
- Dave and Alicia Shumaker
