The-Gulf3-300x200

Whether you have just purchased Gulf Coast real estate or are simply planning a great getaway to the shores of Alabama’s Gulf Coast, we have the ultimate dining recommendation for you – The Gulf! Great food and a great view – that’s what you will find at this Orange Beach restaurant.

Recently named to Coastal Living’s Favorite Seafood Dives of 2014, in fact, it took the top spot, there are many reasons to visit. What it lacks in walls and floors is made up in character, delicious eats and amazing views.

When you arrive to the bright blue restaurant, you will undoubtedly notice something unique about the building itself. Take a step back and you will find that the building is composed of artfully arranged shipping containers, just one example of the uniqueness of this special place.

 

The menu changes based on what fish is in season and generally what is available fresh. The chalkboard sign promises choices such as a burger, fish sandwich, pasta or even seafood tacos. If you love live music, you will enjoy the live bands. But, when the stage is empty, they spin real, vinyl records. Be sure to checkout The Gulf during your next stop in to Orange Beach, Alabama.

Buying a Home on a Budget

1 (2)If you have ever searched for real estate in Pensacola or even a condo in Orange Beach, you are probably already aware of the one thing that can turn your dream into a nightmare. That is right, your budget.

Budget is not an issue for some and luck is in the hands of others who find the perfect home at a reasonable price, but more often than not, money will be the deciding factor of whether you are sold or left searching. So, aside from the common mortgage calculators that can help determine how much you can stretch, there are a few things you should remember when it comes to financing for a home.

Generally, the best way to find a dream home that you can afford is to shop with a set maximum price. If you have ever heard do not buy groceries when you are hungry, the same can be said for a home. It is important to prioritize your family needs when shopping and make sure that those are met first and within your budget. If there is any room left to wiggle, that is when you can go back for the ice cream, or in this case the home with all the added upgrades.
