As we started our search for our "perfect" beach house, we came across Bikini Bottom. It had the beautiful view we were looking for, but the house was far from perfect, actually down right UGLY! We looked at other houses, but kept coming back to Bikini Bottom. In 2015, we bought our beloved ugly house and started the remodeling process. It took awhile to complete, but she turned out just the way we thought she would. For years, she was enjoyed and loved by so many friends and guests, until September 16, 2020 when Hurricane Sally hit the Alabama Gulf Coast.
Needless to say, Sally was not nice to Bikini Bottom...she was damaged beyond repair. In September 2021, we said our final farewells and had her torn down. It was like saying goodbye to a dear old friend, but we vowed to rebuild her.
In March 2022, we broke ground on the new house. We had a wonderful builder, that I drove absolutely crazy, making sure that the house lived up to her former self. We rebuilt the same house, but with some tweeks. We made it through the build and finally in March 2023, we had a beautiful, brand new, finished house!
And this my friends is the story of how Bikini Bottom 2.0 came to be....
