Hi Everyone,

Besides the many hours I put into my Zazzle gallery and the promotion of it, I also work as Creative Manager for a Vacation Rental company.

I have recently put together a Squidoo lens for the company I work for and was hoping that I could get some visits to the page as well as ratings and comments so we can boost our ranking.

You can only rate the lens if you are a member of the Squidoo, but you can leave a comment even if you are not.

You can also see some of my work outside of the Zazzle realm as I created the company logo plus art directed, staged and coordinated the photo shoots for most of the pictures that are featured in the lens. Almost all of the photos are by a wonderful photographer named Ben Blankenburg. (Had to give him a shout out because he is such an amazing talent.)

The lens is: http://www.squidoo.com/WaterstoneResorts

Anyway, I would appreciate anyone's help!! Thanks so much.

Debbie

Great lens Debbie.

Funny that you work with Waterstone Resorts, I have actually been looking at some of your resorts to go to around Aug/Sep with my wife and new baby boy. We are coming down from Hotlanta.

which resorts in your collection do you recommend the most? We would prefer more luxurious accomodations over economy, and defeinitely prefer being right on the beach. I have looked into the Aqua tower, very nice.

Honk Honk!! Smile

Hi Honkif! Thanks so much. First, let me say, congratulations on your new baby boy! How exciting.

What a small world. Hotlanta!! Laughing Laughing Been there many times. A huge market for Panama City Beach. I have been to almost all the resorts for photo shoots and they are all wonderful and new. I personally have stayed at Calypso Resort & Towers several times and it is fantastic. Very nice. All of the properties managed by Waterstone Resorts are directly on the beach.

Waterstone Resorts is a management company so we may have units in a particular property, but not manage the entire facility. Aqua is an example of this. We manage several units at that resort, but don't manage the entire property. But, Aqua is a top-notch facility. I haven't seen it in person since it's completion, but have seen pictures and it is remarkable.

Calypso Resort & Towers is a property that Waterstone Resorts does manage the entire facility. Additionally, Calypso Resort & Towers is directly adjacent to Pier Park and I believe it is actually the closest property on the beach to Pier Park. Of the properties on our rental program, it also has the largest variety of unit types from one bedroom up to three bedroom units.

On the Squidoo page for Waterstone Resorts, the first large image of the family walking on the beach where the boy is holding a boogie board and the girl is holding a yellow inner tube is in front of Calypso Resort & Towers. The image of the typical master bedroom and the image of the dining area/kitchen are also at Calypso Resort & Towers.

I don't think you'd be going wrong staying at any of them, it all just depends on where you want to be on Front Beach Road and the size of unit you are looking for. If you have anything more specific that you are looking for, I'd be happy to give you some more details on the properties located on that part of Front Beach Road.

Thanks again for checking out the Squidoo page! It is much appreciated.

Thanks so much! It is so appreciated. I haven't had the opportunity to go to Florida this year. We had to cut back on our photo shoots due to the economy. Crying

Thanks for the awesome info Debbie. Calypso Towers looks very nice! I will make sure to dig deeper into all of the properties and make my decision soon.

Take Care.

BTW - The baby is doing great! Thanks to all Zazzlers for their kind words. His name is Chase and was born 5/2, 6 lbs 14 oz, 18 3/4 in.
