Agreed. I will inquire of the property managers and get back to everyone.

I agree with Mags - we book on the definite. I put in for vacation, plus me, Sandra and Phizz all ready have our plane tickets for that date. So, it should be a definite date. 😃

I hope that everyone is comfortable with the direction this moot is going as far as accomodations. I know some people may not want to room with a whole houseful of folks, and that is ok! Each person needs to do what is most comfortable to them. They are welcome to book their own rental house (tons of options with lesser bedrooms) or book a hotel room and meet up/hang out with the rest of the group.
I will contact different properties and then list the front runners -- it looks like most if not all are still available that week. Going by 11 people, the range will be from about $300 to $400 total person for 5 nights. Each person (except for couples) will get their own bed.
Anyone else planning on flying in/out of Orlando or Jacksonville? I know that may be a cheaper option.

Yay! Actual dates for the calendar. I don't know where I'll fly yet, but probably Savannah. Is it time to send money yet? ETA: I'm flying in to Raleigh/Durham and riding down with Pamski in her Mustang convertible! Watch out I-95's in the Carolinas!!!!
Jan -- if it's cheaper to fly in/out of Orlando or Jax let me know. I plan/hope on leaving Orlando first thing on Wednesday morning.
Bucky, it looks like flying YOW to SAV on Air Canada is the more convenient option so I'll make my reservation this week to make sure I get a seat. Arrival at SAV is at 2:41 PM on the 12th so hopefully I'll be in time for an airport pickup.
As to accommodation, just assume that I'm OK with whatever arrangement is made. Thanks for doing the legwork.

I can definitely do pick ups at airport. If you are flying in Wednesday, I will be there about 10:00 AM so anytime after that. If anyone (Phizz?) is there and can do any prior to that time, that would be great. Maybe closer to we can post travel info to coordinate.

OK folks -- I have heard back from two of the property managers on two of the houses:
Tybee House 1 <---- 8 bed/4 bath I managed to get him to give us a 10% discount from the September rate ($3,981 instead of $4,296) divided 11 people = $361 per person
Tybee House 2 <---- 7 bed/6 bath I am waiting to see if they will give a discount but right now it is $3,775 divided by 11 people = $343 per person
So if you have a preference as to these two properties, let me know. The other ones are either a little smaller/more expensive.
The process will be that everyone Paypal's their deposit/portion. I in turn will have to charge it on my card because they don't do Paypal payments.

They both look amazing. No. 2 seems to have a few more amenities (and more bathrooms...let's face it, we're a big group of mostly women and that's a thing) but I would personally be happy at either one.
Hard to tell which is closer to the beach...they seem to both be very close.

Ok, number one was a favorite, BUT, I have looked over things and house 2 is in more or less walking distance of the action. House one is a little closer to the beach, but in the quiet side of town. I say go where the action is and go with House two. That way we won’t have to keep getting in cars for everything - just half the stuff.
Also number 2 can give us a bit of privacy from each other, if we like because it’s townhouses put together- at least that is what it looks like to me on their site. 😁

Updated list from responses received:
Yesses
Tracy K. Jamie Mags Pam Sandra Phizz Kim Brian Jan Suanne Maybes (that I think have not confirmed yes): Susanna Dave Gaby
Nos Estelle Michael Tracy C. Lou Lou Minsky JoAnne
One of the houses I contacted probably isn't going to work so I've already scratched it from the list. But I am going with a 10-11 people range so we may have a few more choices and lower amount. Will keep reporting back!

Hi all! I am unable to get off from Sept. 12-17, since a couple of other people are already scheduled to be off during this time. I am very sorry to be missing our get-together again this year. However, I want to contribute to the housing costs.

Bummer Estelle! I was looking forward to seeing you.
I can totally relate though as after this week was designated, the property appraiser set the deadline for petitions for September 18th. So that week probably isn't the best time for me to go, but I am taking it regardless. It's just something they have to deal with.

I'm good to go. My boss ok'd the dates off. I'll be leaving work on Wednesday at 2 pm and driving in about 7 to 7:30 pm.
A bit up in the air about leaving Sunday or Monday. Monday is a bad day to be out of work but I don't want to be driving back in the dark Sunday if I leave late afternoon. Will see.

Glad you are able to join Suanne!
So our total now is 10 yesses. I will circle 'round with the property managers, see what the best deal will be and adjust the total per person. Stay tuned.
