Florida Freeze of 2014

The Florida Freeze of 2014 has officially settled along the gulf coast as residents and vacationers are bundled up inside their homes and condos.  The interstate, local bridges and many roads have been closed due to icy roads and impassable conditions.  Local authorities have urged everyone to stay inside as they had suspended efforts to maintain the roads covered with sheets of ice.

As many businesses closed early due to the forecast, others stayed open.  Pointe South Real Estate Broker/ Owner, Susan Carleton, welcomed a guest to stay at her home, as her guest was unable to leave Perdido Key after work.  Others were excited about this rare event in Florida and Coastal Alabama as photos of snowmen and kids sledding spread across social media and the news.  One resident claimed “I’ve lived here for 32 years and have never seen this.”

The temperatures are expected to increase and be in the 50s and 60 by the weekend.  We hope all of our community member, owners, tenants, and guests are safe and stay warm!

Mardi Gras Season Kick Off

Mardi Gras is a very big deal here along the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama, and on Sunday, January 5, 2014, the party kicks off in beautiful downtown Pensacola!

While the big event may take place a few hours west in New Orleans, we know how to throw a good party right here in Pensacola. And, it’s even family friendly! If you own real estate in downtown Pensacola then you are undoubtedly familiar with 12th Night, the annual kickoff event, but if you happen to be new to the area, perhaps living in a Pensacola long term rental, or are considering a vacation in Pensacola Beach, this event may be a new experience for you.

Come out to downtown Pensacola, along Palafox Street, to get a sneak peek at this year’s floats and enjoy a celebration with the Krewe’s. You can even see this year’s crowned Kings and Queens! Come out early to this free event and don’t miss a moment of the action. The festivities kick off at 7:30PM.

What is Your New Year Resolution?

Every year, year after year, we all make resolutions to start the New Year off right.   We always hear others promise “to eat more vegetables” or “exercise at least 3 times a week.” How about a new kind of resolution, making time for you and your family to relax and enjoy the activities and shores of the gulf coast?

Let’s really start the year off right by dedicating some time, throughout the year, for you.  The communities along the Gulf Coast are passionate about their cities and all they have to offer including cultural attractions, beaches and water ways and local events. Come and enjoy the emerald shores, rolling waves and let’s start the New Year off with a breath of fresh air and some fun!

Our Rental team is here to make sure you enjoy every minute of your stay.
