Tripadvisor’s Best Beaches of 2014

Orange Beach

It’s no secret that the Gulf Coast of Florida boasts some of the most beautiful beaches around, but now our secret is out! Pensacola Beach and Navarre Beach were just named to Tripadvisor’s Best Beaches of 2014.

If you already own Gulf Coast real estate, or happen to vacation with us, then you already know how wonderful our sandy white shores, emerald water and fabulous weather are. And, now two area’s we represent are receiving the recognition they deserve.

Pensacola Beach, a popular destination anytime, but especially in spring, was noted at the #19 spot for offering a great mix of history, activities, events and dining. Navarre Beach came in at #25 on the Best Beaches of 2014 list for its serenity and natural beauty. We couldn’t agree with these assessments more!

Come experience one or both of these area destinations with Pointe South Vacation Rentals and our weekly condo discounts. Who knows, why you’re here, you may just discover your next real estate investment, long term rental home or favorite vacation destination!

Fling Fish at the Flora-Bama in Perdido Key

Get ready for a great time when you head to Perdido Key to fling fish during the annual Flora-Bama Interstate Mullet Toss!

Our friends at Pointe South Vacation Rentals are also offering 20% off your stay in a Perdido Key condo when you attend this three day event. Not a bad excuse to plan a little spring break for yourself!

And, yes, we did say “mullet toss.” Each year hundreds of Perdido Key locals and visitors flock to the Flora-Bama Lounge to try their luck at tossing a slimy mullet across the state line. No, really. You stand in a circle and attempt to fling your fish from the beaches of Northwest Florida to the sands of Alabama’s Gulf Coast. This event may sound ridiculous but a portion of the proceeds even benefit a great cause, the Community Drug & Alcohol Council, as well as other youth programs in the area.

The Gulf Coast’s Greatest Beach Party will also be in full swing during this event. Come on out for a vacation in Perdido Key and save 20% on your stay when you vacation at Grand Caribbean East or Grand Caribbean West condos.
