T-Water Today

The front gate was open so I decided to check out T-Water. It is such a shame that an old favorite Hotel on the beach has been neglected for so long. I noticed that this year that the beach side was no longer boarded up but now has a number of "shops." heres what you see as you enter from the roadAttachment 23176

There does seem to be some squatters in evidence....probably slowing the decline. I am no engineer but it looks to me that the place will need to be torn down rather than rehabbed.

I was told that the squaters had water & electric and were renting out a couple rooms they had painted.lol I will say it wasn't so creepy walking by at night with the vendors there.

wow. Looks like it might have been a beautiful property back in its day. Do you have pics of it from then?

You happen to ask how much they r charging? LOL I'm lookin for a deal

Was a great property back in the day.We always stayed there.Tizzy I heard $20-25 a night.I will say I like the vendors and jerk barrells out front brings some life & light to a dark place on the beach.Also was told they have art classes there and massages.Squaters trying to make a buck better than crackheads running in and out of there.

Very Saddening. Trekked along those paths many times in the 90's. Such memories, I was hoping the travel channel picked up that hotel to fix. Probably beyond repair.

Back in the day T-Water was my favorite place to stay. Stayed there for about 12 years late 70s and 80s. Still am friends with people who worked and stayed there.

Hey Yooper Bill, My husband and I were married there in 1987, before destination weddings were the thing to do. Would love to find Blossom Brown, a waitress from the restaurant or Mr Grant, the security guard, Michael, one of the the entertainment/sports directors, or Toupie that ran the little beach bar, just to name a few. Mrs Segre married us on the patio at sunset on Feb 28th, 1987....any help would be appreciated. We are 18 sleeps and counting, with our three kids in tow this March 9th!!!!!

Stayed there in the late 80's and early 90's also. Great memories of being at that beach bar . The bartenders always were so friendly and had great stories. Apple Vacations had a great price from Milwaukee with breakfast and lunch included. :)

hey-mon,
You could always try talking to Paul (bartender at White Sands). I know he used to work at T-Water so he may have some information about the people you are looking for.
