Memorial Day weekend is here! We are grateful to be experiencing beautiful weather, and no effects from the Gulf oil spill.
Every beach house and condo in our rental program is full this weekend, so if you're looking for last-minute accomodations, you might want to consider staying in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Please check our Best Southeast Rentals site for beach houses and condos in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and along the Florida Panhandle beaches.
Those of you monitoring the movement of the oil spill in the Gulf have probably noticed that the NOAA map showed the western (uninhabited) part of Dauphin Island to be in the "ring of uncertainty". This map was prepared on Thursday, and for some reason they haven't updated it since then. This is not the first time their chart showed part of Dauphin Island in the "ring", the last time, the oil never reached us, and instead drifted about 60-80 miles further away from us. Hopefully, we'll be lucky again.
We have found another forecasting chart to be more accurate, it is the one provided by the University of South Florida's College of Marine Sciences, and you can see it here.
Thank you all, and a special thanks to those who have served our country's military, and their families.
