From govt. satellite:

Click on one of the red boxes to zoom on the general area, then click on yellow boxes to go closer, and then you click it one more time to get an image that allows a zoom.

Hopefully you can see where the peninsula is up and to the right of the island where landfall occurred. See the row of black boxes that is four wide? Click on the third one to get the widest shot of the peninsula.

If you think you see a little group of sticks, that's the leftover pilings where a house used to be.

I saw the link to the vacation home you loved. If I've got it right, here is a mapquest map of the property (though it seems they have the actual address as more inland instead of as beachfront):

If I've got it right, then I think this is a satellite "after Ike" picture of that subdivision (you can zoom in and see the individual propreties - all you have to do is click on the image):

So sorry to show you this... it doesn't appear your Loveshack is still standing :(.
