Orange Beach & Fairhope Top Most Beautiful Towns List

Untitled-1Have you considered relocating to the great state of Alabama, but struggling to decide where? Well, “Only In Your State” has narrowed the list of Alabama’s “most beautiful, charming small towns,” down to ten. We’ve shortened it to two: Orange Beach and Fairhope.

Both towns are chart toppers for a variety of reasons, but our Alabama real estate agents still believe you have to see them to fully understand how beautiful these towns are.

Fairhope is situated on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay and offers residents spacious parks, tree-lined neighborhoods and a thriving downtown area that attracts visitors from across the country. Orange Beach on the other hand offers a variety of family-friendly beach vacation opportunities and entertainment to boot. Both in Baldwin County, both uniquely beautiful. The choice really is up to you. Would you rather buy a condo for sale in Orange Beach, or a single-family home in Fairhope? Either way, the two are a short drive away from each other Gulf Coast attractions.

New Property Manager!

Shannon DanielsGreat things are happening at Pointe South Residential Leasing! The team is expanding and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome Shannon Daniels as our newest Property Manager.

Shannon joined our operations in the west, representing long term rentals in Fairhope, Daphne, Mobile and the surrounding areas just a few short weeks ago. In her new role as Property Manager, Shannon will act as the main liaison between our owners and tenants. Not only will she work to maintain relationships with the two, but she will be in charge of growing our operations in the aforementioned areas.

But enough about what she is in charge of, we want you to have a feel for who your new property manager is as a person. Shannon spends most of her spare time in and around the beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters, particularly boating with her family and friends. She’s an avid travelers who is rather familiar with her “own backyard.” She does however, have plans to travel outside the country in the near future.

Interested in learning more about Shannon and our other Gulf Coast property managers? Feel free to drop by one of our offices to meet the group in person and to find out what all we can do for you!
