What a spectacular weekend in SoWal. The water is still very cold, only the kids are enjoying it. The water has been very muddy for over a week or so from all the storms and wave action. Surf has been up and high winds nearly every day for the last few days after the fronts moved through last week. Every coastal dune lake with an outflow to the Gulf is open from the heavy rains.

A lot of Spring breakers here, especially from Georgia. Quite a few Redfish being caught off the beach.

Thanks for the pictures Kurt. Hmmm...I hope the water won't still be muddy the last week of April. That is when my husband and I are traveling to Seagrove. Can't wait! We haven't been since December so we are having major withdrawls!! :cool:

Who here thinks the value of Charlie's home is in the land itself?

In most cases, you would be right. But that house has to be a minimun of 10,000 square feet. In this case, I am gussing the lot is worth around $3-4 million, and the home probably in excess of 10 million. Comparatively speaking, our little fractional at Blue Mountain has around $80,000 structural and a $1.5-million land value.

JB, have you been drinking again? The house sits on 4 Gulf-Front lots in an upscale subdivision with Gulf-front lots priced around 4 million each, when available. Even if they were only $3Million each, that still totals to $12 Million.


By the way, has anyone ever noticed that each of the 4 lions, guarding the entrance to Paradise by the Sea, is missing a leg? Does anyone have 4 extra lion legs stashed at their beach house?

We noticed that while biking through there last year :(

Wow. That was certainly a polite reply. I have no idea how many lots it sits on, Joe. I have only seen the house from 30-A. Hard to tell size from that distance. My point was - and I think it's a valid one, that as a rule, land values normally surpass structural values for gulf-front lots. I guess I should apologize for getting into your area of expertise. :idontno:

I'm just giving you a hard time. Thanks for handling it so well :D

I think he's succeeded!

Do I detect sarcasm from Lou who does not like the building?

If grading only on creativity, Charlie gets five stars. I guess he grew tired of seeing the same rectangular boxes being built over and over again. I don't think he has any right angles in that structure.

We like the house next door much better. I heard that it was Michael Jordan's but I doubt it. I've yet to hear anybody say "Hey, just ran into Michael Jordan walking down the beach" :roll:

There is a better chance that it is Brittany Spears' than Jordan's, but it is not hers either.

Head toward Rosemary Beach. When you get to Alys Beach, look right.

Yes, before Alys Beach cleared 100ft back from each side of the road, the house was more difficult to see. Now it stands out. Another 2 years and you won't see it at all. Alys Beach owns the property b/tw 30-A and CH's house. Take pictures, because it won't be a clear shot for long.

Great thanks. We've been by Rosemary Beach several times, but I've never heard of Alys Beach. Guess we'll find out in less than a week. Can't Wait!!!!!!
