My group lady friends and I have vacationed at Beach Walk several times. It is one of our favorite getaways. The first time we went there we thought we had gone to heaven. The house is huge, the furniture is comfortable, it is well-equipped, and it is beautiful. The northside upper and lower balconys overlook the gorgous Mobile Bay, yet we are only a very short stroll (shorther than most gulf front condos) to the beach. Long walks on the quiet beach are our favorite activity while we are there; it is only a mile and a half to completely undeveloped, protected beach. However, we also enjoy the tennis court and pools, and have promised we will bring our golf clubs one day to enjoy the first rate golf courses nearby: Kiva Dunes and Peninsula.
The shopping nearby (Tanger Outlet and Old Time Pottery) is fantastic. We all got a lot of our Christmas shopping done there this past autumn while laughing, talking, and passing a good time.
There are some fun (and good) restaurants nearby. We love Tacky Jacks, a bay front seafood restaurant a mile or two west, and Tequila Bay, a gulf side Mexican restaurant three or four miles east. For more elegant dining we have gone to Beach Club, 5 or 6 miles east.
We often prepare our dinner in the house, as Beach Walk has a large, well-equipped kitchen that can accommodate several cooks while the rest of the party can sit around the HUGE counter and enjoy drinks and snacks (and offer helpful comments!) But we always dine at the enormous dining table (it seats up to 14)as gracious Southern ladies are wont to do.
Sitting on the balcony in the late afternoon, laughing about the events of the day, sipping a glass of wine and watching the sunset over the bay are among my favorite memories of Beach Walk. |
