A good answer

The next stay written down is February 6 to 27, 2027, booked when they left in February 2026. A good answer gives that, or asks which winter she means; it does not offer one of the old bookings as the next one.

Same place? Remind me of the unit and where we park.

A good answer

Egret Pointe, unit 407, fourth floor, gulf side; parking space 31, under the building. It belongs to Dottie Faulk of Birmingham. Nothing saved says the 2027 booking is for a different unit, and the 2026 note calls it their seventh winter in 407.

40731

Is Dottie going to keep renting it out?

A good answer

Not known. In February 2026 Wade, the building manager, said she is thinking of selling in a few years and that they are to be told first. Nothing later is saved. A good answer reports that and does not predict.

Notes on the place for next year, if there is a next year. - Egret Pointe, unit 407. Wade, the building manager, is in the office off the lobby from 8 to 4 and has the spare key card. - Parking space 31. The truck fits with four inches to spare and Ray measured. - Two elevators. The left one is slow and the right one is often out. Gus prefers the left. - Dogs are walked on the grass on the north side only, never on the beach in front of the building. There is a dog beach two miles east. - The kitchen has six of everything, one good pot and no sharp knife. I brought mine. - Groceries: the big store on the highway, ten minutes. Shrimp from the place by the bridge with the hand-painted sign; ask for the ones off the boat that morning. - The washer and dryer are in the hall closet. Sand goes everywhere regardless. Dottie's rules, taped inside the cupboard: no smoking, no grills on the balcony, trash down the chute by 9 p.m., and strip the beds on the last day.
