Happy Thanksgiving 2013

It is that special time of year when we all gather with friends and family to celebrate, and spend time around the table, thankful for all of the wonderful things that have come our way.  We would like to wish you all a wonderful and Happy Thanksgiving!

If you are visiting Florida or coastal Alabama for the first time this Thanksgiving, we hope you enjoy our Gulf Coast communities as much as we do.  If we can answer any questions or provide you with area information, please feel free to contact us or stop by one of our offices.  We want you to enjoy the holiday season in this beautiful area we call home!

Thanksgiving at the Beach

Thanksgiving is an absolutely wonderful time of year to spend at the beach. The weather is nice and, well, it’s the beach! And, while you could certainly prepare all your holiday favorites in the fully equipped kitchens of our rentals, it’s also a great opportunity to try something a little different!

You may be wondering if there are any open restaurants in Pensacola, Perdido Key or Orange Beach that will be serving Thanksgiving dinner. The answer? Yes! And, some fabulous ones, at that. If you are staying in a Pensacola Beach vacation rental, venture into Pensacola to try the amazing creations served up by The Fish House. While something called ‘grits a ya ya’ may not traditionally appear on your holiday table, we know you will love them, along with the turkey, dressing, green bean casserole and much more. They will open from 11AM to 5PM and reservations are recommended.

In Perdido Key, head over to the annual buffet at the Perdido Key Beach Resort or cook up your favorite dish and head over to the Flora-Bama Lounge potluck. There will also be many area restaurants in Orange Beach serving Thanksgiving dinner. No matter what or where you choose to eat, we hope you have a wonderful turkey day!

Featured Subdivision: Parasol

Looking for the perfect home in Perdido Key for your family?  Parasol subdivision is supremely located on Johnson Beach Road just a short walk from the Gulf Islands National Seashore.   This prime area is off the main scenic route, Perdido Key Drive, but only a short distance to enjoy fine dining, shopping, and entertainment.  And the best part of Parasol; it is the only gulf front single family community in Perdido Key, Florida!

That is right, over 900 feet of white sandy beach on the Gulf of Mexico.   This neighborhood is full of family fun as everyone enjoys the endless beach, bike rides in the gated community, and quality time at the pool with a little splash every now and again. These large, custom homes are inviting and perfect for families with children both young and old, large families or the small family looking to entertain.  Only a couple of vacant lots remain so if you are eager to build your own dream home in paradise, here is your opportunity to own  and enjoy  in Parasol in Perdido Key!

Play in Pensacola Beach

As we recently announced, our vacation rental family has recently expanded and now includes beach homes and condos in Pensacola Beach, as well as Navarre Beach.

If you have loved vacationing with Pointe South in the past and have been itching to experience somewhere other than Perdido Key, now is your chance. Pensacola Beach is a fun, fabulous and family-friendly vacation destination in Northwest Florida. Here you will find all manner of entertainment possibilities, as well as that same soft sand and emerald water you have come to love. Pensacola Beach is bustling with activities such as parasailing, water sports and dolphin cruises, many of which you can enjoy at a discount thanks to Southern Perks. Pensacola Beach also hosts many amazing local events and festivals, including the annual homecoming show of our beloved Blue Angels, seen here flying past the Emerald Isle condos in Pensacola Beach.

Pensacola Beach, as well as Navarre Beach, is a terrific place to vacation. We are so excited about this expansion and to make great things happen for you and your family during your next Pointe South vacation to the Gulf Coast!

Polo at the Point

We’re so excited to spend this weekend in nearby Fairhope, Alabama for the annual Polo at the Point event. Packed full of traditions and fun, this is sure to be a wonderful charity event and a beautiful weekend to spend “stomping the divuts”!

Polo at the Point is celebrating its 25th year and is a premier charity event along the Gulf Coast, raising funds for many local charities along our shores. This year promises to be as successful as ever and we can’t wait for the matches. In addition to what promises to be a wonderful polo match, many other events will be taking place such as a luncheon, champagne tasting, tailgate party and yes, the stomping of the divuts!

If you own a home on Alabama’s Gulf Coast, or happen to be vacationing in a nearby Orange Beach vacation condo, get your tickets now and don’t miss out on this wonderful, charitable event.
