Google is in the house and an 'about' the house

Obvious that a search engine for the site is now present? LOL! Hopefully, this will make surfing Beach House activities, recommendations, links , etc. easier. Is the position okay? Putting it at the top seems logical. Let me know.

My location is oftened questioned. No, there is no ocean front property within 325.75 miles. Saltillo is a small town just 8 miles north of Tupelo, MS; about 90 miles southeast of Memphis, TN, and 150 miles northwest of Birmingham, AL. Why the name Saltillo Beach House? If you glimpse at the picture located up there by the title it helps explain to some degree. Being a parrothead, fisherman, sailor-son of a sailor, an ex-US Navy person, and a lover of anything waterwise combine to "make" the beach house scenario and this is promoted by interior and exterior decor.

Lake Lamar Bruce is nearby as is Elvis Presley Lake. Did I mention Elvis was born in Tupelo? Anyway, having two life-saver rings adorning the veranda by the door is a dead giveaway. People that visit gravitate toward the parrothead couch (one of two in existence), the swing on the veranda and the hammock on the patio just behind the beautiful PARROTHEAD AVE. sign. These are good places to nap. So the general feeling here? Casual and laid back. I must go rest now...
