I see the opened door. Finally.
What a saga.
Last April we booked a condo for the month of March as our beach house rental we have from Dec.- Feb. wasn’t available for that month.
A month ago the condo owner emailed me to say it had been sold and we needed to find other accommodations. Yuk! (Instead of you know what word)
We decided to wait and look once we were down here in Gulf Shores. Last weekend I posted on a Gulf Shores/Orange Beach Facebook group what we were looking for. Boy! I received so many responses. Took me hours to search through them and send correspond correspondence. Most were way above our budget. A few looked promising.
A lovely woman messaged me that friends of hers (the salt of the earth) had two condos in Orange Beach and she’d talk to the them and see if they’d agree to her giving me their number so I could call them. She did. They did. I did. I talked with the owners and they were so friendly and accommodating. Said they would make one of the condos work for us at the rental fee we could afford. They had their friend show us one condo on Tuesday. Wow. Unbelievable. All 2400 share feet of it. We loved it. Said we were interested. I called the condo owner saying we’d love to rent it. She seemed happy and said we’d get a call that night to make arrangements. Ugh. You guessed it. No call.
Went to bed feeling very discouraged.
No call on Wednesday.
Meanwhile I received a message from another person who had a beach house she’d rent us. Now it was more money but it is right on the beach. We’d be going from one beach house to another. So we planned on going to have a look on Thursday after yoga.
Strangely Wednesday evening, after having a wonderful evening with friends, I received this strange text from the condo owners phone number.
I hope they got in Touch with you today about PG 301 ! Please ket us know if we can help
Yall.
Who the he_ _ is Yall?
So I messaged the owners asking if I’d missed the call or if they had changed their minds. And shared the message I had received.
How stunned am I. And embarrassed. Yall was not a persons name but Y’all. What everyone down here says. Well we all got a great laugh out of that. They even sent me a picture of them titled “The Y’all’s”. Great sense of humour.
So good news. The owners said they’d recontact the rental agency and remind them to contact me and send the information and contract to sign. She did. They did. I did. All wrapped up. We have the condo for March. Now I can breathe easy.
