Finding Home on the Gulf Coast

Orange Beach Alabama Homes and Luxury Real Estate Meredith Amon

There’s something about walking along the sugar-white dunes at sunset that reminds me why I chose to call the Gulf Coast home. I took this photo on a quiet evening, standing on the soft sand while the sky transformed with pastel hues. The stillness of the moment—waves breaking in the distance, the smell of salt in the air, and the sweeping views across the dunes—captures the essence of what it feels like to live here.

Living on the Gulf Coast is more than just owning a house near the water. It’s about finding a place where life slows down, where neighbors stop to chat after a walk on the beach, and where every day ends with the promise of a sunset over the horizon. The natural beauty here is breathtaking, but what I love most is helping others discover their perfect piece of it.

As a real estate advisor, I’ve had the privilege of guiding friends, neighbors, and clients through the process of finding homes that aren’t just structures—but extensions of their dreams and lifestyle. Whether it’s a raised beach cottage with a porch overlooking the lagoon, a Gulf-front condo steps from the surf, or a custom-built retreat designed for boating and outdoor living, each property tells a story.

One of my favorite parts of this job is hearing why someone wants to be here. I’ve met couples who fell in love with Orange Beach during a weekend getaway, families drawn to the endless outdoor activities around Little Lagoon and Perdido Bay, and neighbors who simply couldn’t imagine living anywhere else after experiencing their first Gulf sunset. Each story reminds me of my own journey and deepens my connection to this community.

The Gulf Coast has a way of pulling you in—whether through mornings spent fishing, afternoons on the boat, or evenings spent with toes in the sand. Helping people find their home here isn’t just my career, it’s a passion rooted in gratitude for where I get to live every day.

If you’ve been dreaming of a beach home along the Gulf Coast, I’d love to share my insights, local knowledge, and personal experiences to help you find the right place. After all, there’s nothing better than finding your own spot in the sand to call home.

Orientation: Light, Breeze, and View — Living with the Elements on Ono Island


There’s something deeply Southern about the way Ono Island breathes — the salt air, the sway of marsh grass, and the rhythm of tide and light. Here along Old River, the sun and wind dictate the day as surely as the church bells…
