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.

Explore Real Estate Opportunities in Perdido Key with Realtor, Danny Head – Beach Colony Condos

Danny Head is one of the top sales agents on Perdido Key and he has been involved in more Beach Colony sales and listing transactions than any other single agent on the Key. Beach Colony Resort, a three building complex, is one of the most sought after, gulf front communities on the island, with a total of 214 units, two and three bedroom units and a few 4 bedroom summit houses.  Beach Colony offers 600 feet of dazzling beach, three swimming pools (one enclosed), hot tub, state of the art work out facility and clay tennis courts. Currently, there are 10 units for sale in the community.

The sparse availability of Beach Colony units is typical of what we are experiencing on the Florida side of the island. What in the past six years has been pretty much a Buyer’s market is slowly transitioning to a Seller’s market as our inventory decreases. At this time, there are only 70 gulf front condominiums available on the Florida side of Perdido Key.

Have a Ghoulish Good Time this Weekend Gulf Coast Style!

It’s that wonderful, wicked time of year when a frightfully good time can be had after dark – if you know the appropriate haunts to hang out at in town. This weekend, have a ghoulish good time along the Gulf Coast!

If you own real estate in Pensacola or happen to be on vacation in Pensacola Beach, head over to the historic lighthouse for a ghost tour. Even TAPS, of SciFi Network, consider this one of the more haunted lighthouses in America. If ghosts aren’t for you, or your are looking for something a little more family-friendly for your little ones, meet us over at The Hangout in Gulf Shores. We have a feeling their haunted house, themed “Cabin Fever” this year” will be a hair-raising complement to your Halloween experience.

The Pensacola Lighthouse Ghost Tour will take place Saturday, October 12, 2013. Reservations are recommend and admission is $20. If you plan to tour The Hangout spooky setup, head out Friday or Saturday nights leading up to Halloween. Adults enter for $5 and children for just $3. Contact us to learn everything about the Gulf Coast!

Pointe South at the Perdido KEYmunity Gumbo Run

On September 7th, 2013, the Perdido Bay United Methodist Church (BPUMC) and Barberi Heating and Air held the 1st Annual Perdido KEYmunity 5K Gumbo Run.  The 3.1 mile run/walk route was on Innerarity Point Road and brought together community members, athletes, families, and friends.  The run was set up to accommodate timing for athletes, while also inviting and fun for families.  And for a little extra excitement, a Krazy Kidz Run was setup to bring new adventure to the younger participants.

Going to School Along the Gulf Coast

As the summer months come to an end, school time begins.  And with the return of school means a lot of changes not only for students, but for their families also.  Every year, numerous families move in and out of our area and whether a student is returning to their same school or starting in a new one, excitement and nervousness always accompany the first few weeks.

With all of the responsibilities and tasks already in place, it is extremely important to maintain a schedule when the kids return to school and set aside family time each afternoon or evening.  During this time, remember to talk to your children about their day, work on homework, and then do something enjoyable for all of you.  A consistent family structure will ensure confidence and growth in everyone and help in overcoming any challenges.

If you are new to the Gulf Coast area, there are plenty of enjoyable activities for everyone.  Getting out of the house, meeting new people, trying new food, and exploring the area will help make your new house a home.  Just to name a few, visit 5 Fun Activities for Kids in Perdido Key.

If you are planning on moving to the area, our agents will help you find a home for rent or for sale in a specific school district.  For additional information on local school, please see the county school district links below.
