Everyday after school, Jimmy would come home and wash his car in the driveway. He cared for his little red mustang like it was his newborn baby. Every square inch of paint was buffed, the chrome shined like a mirror & the tires glistened with armorall.

The funny thing is that Jimmy hasn’t been able to actually drive his car yet. You see, Jimmy made a common mistake that many young people make. They make their purchase decisions based on their car payments alone. They spend all of their paycheck on a car payment, without ever thinking about how the insurance will impact their budget.

'Atlanta Beach' owners foiled by oil

21.07.10

Since then, the only time they’d ever had trouble renting it during the peak summer season was after Hurricane Dennis in July 2005.

Then came the BP oil well blowout. This summer, Henry has doled out thousands of dollars in refunds to guests who canceled and is offering steep discounts to try to fill the house and two other rental properties they own nearby.

Still, empty days pile up on her rental calendar. She pegs her lost rent for June at $6,000, when 21 days of reservations were canceled. She projects the July loss at $11,000, with 42 canceled days. The August calendar for the three properties shows 35 canceled days, 43 days booked and 50 vacant.

“People are scared,” she said. “They don’t want to take a chance going down there. There’s hesitance about spending money to go down there and finding oil and tar balls.”

The fallout of the BP disaster on Gulf locals and vacationers is well chronicled, but Henry and her husband, Len Schneider, are part of a separate set of victims: Second-home or condo owners who’ve watched with horror as the oil spread and renters bailed. Many owners in Walton and Okaloosa counties are from metro Atlanta -- so many that some call the area ‘Atlanta Beach.’
