A week at the beach with 10 usually far-flung family members COULD be hairy, am I right? Not on Spinnaker Lane! With 4 br/bth suites, a bunk room with 4 DOUBLE bunks, 2 living areas, and a spacious balcony the width of the house, not to mention the pool a literal stone's throw away - there was a place for everyone! It's about a 3 block walk on a lightly traveled, 2-lane neighborhood street to the public beach access, then down the steps and you're on Inlet Beach, which is SO NICE! There's a bike rack if you want to ride down. No parking for cars, so get someone to drop you/your gear off or buy one of those $50 collapsible wagons at Wal-Mart and schlepp back and forth. There are chairs/umbrellas for rent on the beach but they p/u at 5p and there's still so much day left - we often stayed out until 8p. You can also arrange for an evening bonfire set up - looked like fun (it's pricey). The house has literally everything you need and if you have a question, the very friendly, hands-on owner is but a text away, and probably on the property already. Head out the front gate, which backs up to 98 and walk about a block to The Shades for cocktails and good food (on the corner where 30-A joins 98). Rosemary Beach and all of its charm and cute shops (and Sunday farmer's market) are a pleasant, shady walk or even quicker bike ride away. There's a Publix within a 5 minute drive, cute shops on 98, and Marcos Pizza which is VERY GOOD/not expensive. Have fun on Spinnaker Lane!
