An update about our home after Gustav hit Louisiana. CHILL OUT had NO damage. Our beach home is ready for everyone who has reserved time with us. The beach is in great shape. See the external LINKS section for some current photos. The berm/dune is much flatter and there is no longer a walkover steps to navigate. The breaking surf is again clearly visible from the deck. The webcam will show this as soon as I re-activate it from "Chill Outs" deck. Thank you, everyone for your support and prayers for our piece of paradise.

Lorna and Art, We are so pleased you, family and friends enjoyed "Chill Out" and Dauphin Island. We enjoy cooking when the local ingrediants are so fresh so we setup the kitchen to be a place for anyone to help and still be part of the gathering. Please come back and enjoy the warm waters this summer. Happy New Year! Marion

Also visted from Bowling Green, KY. This was my families 1'st visit to Dauphin Island. We enjoyed the house and beach. My two daughters saw mullet and Dolphins. My wife got to relax for once. We enjoyed your neighbors as well. The girl next door was very sweet and played with our kids everyday. Thanks and hope to return.

Some of my favorite PeePs are here with me: (A list of 8 family members and a mixed breed and spoiled rotten Maltese ;-) So far so good1 This place is gorgeous! Checking out: August 25th, 2006 We are going home tomorrow- it was a great week. All in all, we had fun!
