Tranquility Bay Resort |
| Tranquility Bay Resort takes most of the secondlife mainland sim of Umansky, and endeavors to provide something for everyone. Tranquility Bay is split into many areas, encompassing Residential lettings, an 80's sundeck club, Dolphin Cove Marina, open air concert parc, beaches, gardens and Tranquility Falls park all of which are provided for residents and non-residents alike. We cater to all avatars types, including human, non-human, furry and tiny - all are welcome on our shores, all we ask is that your respect the people that live and work here and not wander around naked, use excessive sound based gestures or any method of griefing on the sim. Dolphin Cove and Orca Bay, both have surfable wave systems, just be sure to watch out for the local wildlife that give these two areas their name. There is 7Seas fishing available from the bait hut situated on the Marina and there are two fishing enabled areas on the sim, one at the marina, and one on a sandy isle in Orca Bay. The club house supports not just the 80's sundeck club, where regular contests are held, but the two floor games room and Beck-Nemeth retail outlet as well which hold venders not just of Beck-Nemeth-Enterprise goods, but also those from stores such as "Paws 4 Thought" and "Flints Tinies". The games in the gaming hall are all "Linden Legal" skill-based games costing just L$10 a go and half of that goes back into the pot which is paid out to the highest scorer in a 24hr period. There is provision for vendors to rent space in the outlet.

There are several areas designed for relaxation on the sim - Tranquility Falls, a quiet area over looking the chapel and the outdoor chess (Which is free to play by residents and guests alike). There is a hidden area at the falls, can you find it? The falls are also close to the compact woodland which is bursting with wildlife. There are rabbits, squirrels, deer, foxes and butterflies. Above the woodland is a floating heart dancefloor, for those looking for somewhere a little more private to spend time with their loved one (for best effect, set the world to midnight when you get there). Another peaceful place to sit is the the Marble Garden, with it's "Hands of friendship" fountain and enclosed walls which help add to the serenity of the gardens. And all of the beaches on the sim have a social gathering point at campfires to sit and while away the time with friends. Also at the back of the sim is a small chapel, idle for smaller, quiet virtual weddings. The Chapel of Tranquility is set in its own grounds to allow complete privacy if required and there are plenty of picturesque areas for the photos. If you are interested in getting married on Tranquility Bay, please contact a member of the management team for more details. Also there is the open air concert parc, a relaxed, informal atmosphere where concerts are held. This is a relatively new attraction to Tranquility Bay Resort and we are always keen to hear from people who either want to play at the venue, or knows someone that may be interested. There is no set "Genre" that is acceptable, we will happily consider any artist. If you are interested please contact a member of staff in-world, or using the contact form on this site. |

Residential |
|
There are several styles and sizes of housing available on Tranquility Bay Resort, each offering something different for the renter and have been individually decorated. Any of the properties can be personalised to taste and there is a modest prim limit available with each to allow this. The decoration can be further personalised either by contacting the staff to arrange removal of or changes to the existing decoration upon rental. Any of the items that are removed from the houses will give the renter "bonus prims" to use on top of the allocated prims that come with each property. Each renter also has the ability to control their own media streams and access to the parcels they rent - and this will be explained by a member of staff upon rental and welcome to the group. The smallest properties are the Tiki huts right on the beach front at the tiki beach that slopes gently towards Orca Bay and the beach huts at the Dolphin Cove Marina. Both these locations offer wonderful views over the water and are ideal for those that want to relax or surf. The next size up are the Stone Cottages, these are positioned into two residential squares - one, Main Square, is located next to the mall, and the other is a smaller and positioned behind Orca Bay. Each of the cottages are decorated in their own individual style, no two having the same character. There are also two larger houses on the Resort, Falls House and Waterfront Isle. Both of these have stunning views, Falls House, as the name suggests overlooks Tranquility Falls and the Marble Garden, and Waterfront Isle, overlooks a pretty beach area and is situatated on its own "personal island" within the sim. The prim limits for the properties are as follows:-
Extra prims are available to rent at the rate of L$15 per week for 10 prims. This is subject to availability and is done on a "first come, first served" basis. |

 |
Prices All prices shown are paid weekly. |

Other Lettings |
|
In addition to the residential lettings on the sim, there are also three mooring slips for your boats available to rent on the marina at Dolphin Cove. They are available at a rate of 200 linden per week for 75 prims. As with the residential lettings, more prims are available on request on a "first come first served" basis at an extra 15 linden a week per 10 prims. As has also been mentioned, there are opportunities for the rental of a limited number of prims in the mall area for the placing of vender boards. We do ask that there are no items of an "explict" nature or any weapons of any kind for sale - this is because we want the sim to be enjoyed by all, and some residents of Secondlife may find the above mentioned items offensive or distasteful. For a full list of the rules please contact a member of the management, and the price works on roughly 2 linden per prim. |

Meet the team |

Manager Myravon Lamont is a long standing friend of Sorka. He has been there since the very first somewhat timid attempts at terraforming and has helped keep Sorka sane whilst building the resort. He took on the managerial role at Sorka's request when she realised that the development was too much for her to look after alone, especially when she was helping Forty manage his developments. He lives on the Resort above Orca Bay. |

Assistant Manager Mirayeth Messmer is a long standing friend of Myravon, and Sorka's "Secondlife sister". She was one of the first residents of Tranquility Bay, and recently agreed to take on officially the role she had been performing for months and assist Myravon and Sorka in the general up-keep of Tranquility Bay Resort. She also is resident on the resort, close at hand if needed. |
