OK, so as I mentioned the other day we took a leap of faith and changed our vacation plans while on vacation. Pretty risky thing to do considering we have 7 people to contend with. It’s amazing what you can do with an iPhone or any smart phone (I guess). While my husband drove I surfed the web to first find a beach location that was a doable one day drive from my sisters. Gulf Shores, AL fit the bill. Next I looked for rental options. Believe it or not calling from the car was not as easy as surfing the web from the car. So, I made a list of rental agencies to call and saved that task for when we arrived at my sisters.
We scored huge! As I mentioned we were able to rent a fully furnished 3 bedroom, 3 bath condo right on the beach overlooking the Gulf of Mexico! This wasn’t “cheeseville” either my friends. It was a really nice place, not crowded, with a beautiful beach! To boot since it was low season they gave us one night for FREE! Even sweeter it was only $150/night! That’s almost half the cost that we pay for all of us to stay in a hotel for one night!
So moral of the story, live a little, don’t be shy about changing your plans – if a family of seven can be accommodated – anything is possible.
Oh ya – Bahama Bob’s in Gulf Shores, AL super friendly wait staff and great food overlooking the Gulf.
