completed Alys Beach home photos

Oh Kimmi..you're too much! As far as the windows and doors, I didn't notice them looking out of place or cheap. You wouldn't want solid doors as the paned ones bring in light from the coutyard. I think there is one builder for all buildings...Wave Construction. These dwellings are awesome in and out. I thought I would be turned off by the lack of color...but being inside with the thick smooth plaster walls was very cozy. The home we were in had stone floors...too hard and cold for me...I would prefer wood. I think if I lived down there for all or most of the year, I would want one and would be a very, very happy girl! BTW...I am surprised we like it as much as we did!

OK Miss Kitty- if you buy one, can I come stay? I'll try not to spill any re wine!

Spill all you want...I have a SWIFFER!!!!

Haha! It's all good. I know old Lampkwp. Just giving him a hard time!

great looking plans, cool houses too. The windows and doors stand out too me also. They might not be cheap but I would'nt call them traditional. Solid doors look better but don't hold up in that climate, I bet you the architect didn't like/want to pick those. For the prices you would pay for one of those houses you should get the whole package. Don't want to sound negative but the windows and doors are the eyes of a house, it's the first thing one notices when viewing any residential structure. Just wondering are these houses being built and then sold or being built by the new lot owners? Can you choose your own builder?

oh so many questions you have. but i have one too are you ready for new years!!!

Billy...should we get your girlfriend Brianne to come again this year? Smoochie smoochie!

These homes appear to be stucco construction. Stucco, even the real stucco, is not a good choice for environments that have a high moisture conditions or blowing rain and seawater. Stucco traps the moisture inside and exacerbates dry rot, mildew, and mold. There is a good reason you don't see much of it in the South Walton area until recently. Oh, yes...stucco is cheap to build with. We owned a stucco house once and I never will again.

It is "real" stucco, over concrete block.

Why is there just one builder? It looks to me that the buyer doesn't have that much control, but they are paying full price. Sounds like alot of fancy spec houses. Ebsco(Birmingham company that owns the land) is trying to save money. There timing is way off with the development should have been started 5 years ago, they did the same thing with Mt Laurell in Birmingham. Does anybody know how Alys's sales are going?

When we lived in the Tampa/St. Pete area, probably 80% of the homes,new and old, were all stucco (over concrete block). We did not like the look of stucco and it does have to be power washed about twice a year because of mildew. A lot of maintenence, but the one up-side to stucco is the prevention of pests and termites. And believe me, it is VERY wet, moist and humid there. We always felt so bad for the wood frame construction home-owners and their termite destruction.

Kimmi, hows NYC and the new job, are you breaking even yet$$$$$. Baby my plan is for us to get married/keep IT in the family, and then buy the biggest house in good ole Alys Beach. War Eagle, beating BAMA is going to be a doozy. Hope the Thanksgiving parade planning is going well, you tell'em who's boss. Its pretty said the only time we talk is on Sowal.com, we're suckers for a good message board.

I know! They also have something called a compound. Almost like little carriage houses surrounding a common house. It would be perfect! And we could have a yard for the dogs!

Billy! The job is amazing. Love it. When are we going to get married? Huh? I'll send you pics of the ring. Now that Dawn is out of the fam, maybe I'll just get one of Puddin's rings and you can use that. Hopefully Brooks doesn't get all the $$$. We can sell Gussie's snake pit and buy a house in Alys beach. We'll keep Grayton Sunset for the rowdy parties.

You coming down for New Years? It would be an understatement to say it's going to be WILD.

turkey day bill?

So is stucco good or bad here?
I like the idea of discouraging bug entry.
(Found a scorpion in the laundry room this morning.)

Is that one house? :shock:

Something tells me I'd be in trouble if I plopped myself down in a wet bathing suit in that place. :roll:

Beautiful though....

That porch swing at Apel House has my name written all over it. :clap_1:
