The Progress of Summer House on Romar Beach Condo Renovations
If you've been following the major renovation at Summer House on Romar Beach in Orange Beach, Alabama, you know that these much-needed updates have been in motion for quite some time. With rising insurance costs and a hefty assessment required to cover the improvements, this renovation is one of the most significant projects the condo complex has seen.
As a local real estate advisor, I’ve been closely watching the progress on both towers. These updates are vital, not just for aesthetics but also for long-term structural integrity and to ensure that Summer House remains a top-tier condo option for Gulf Coast investors, homeowners, and vacationers.
The Scope of the Renovations
The renovation process has been extensive. Due to increased insurance demands, major repairs were necessary to bring the buildings up to current standards. Here’s what’s been happening:
- Structural Repairs – Key areas of the buildings were reinforced to ensure long-term durability.
- Exterior Enhancements – Fresh stucco work, balcony repairs, and updates to the exterior give the buildings a refreshed, modern look while maintaining their coastal charm.
- Windows & Doors – New hurricane-rated windows and doors have been installed to meet the latest storm resistance standards, which is crucial for condos along the Gulf.
- Common Areas & Amenities – Improvements to pools, walkways, and landscaping are taking shape, enhancing the overall guest and owner experience.
Current Progress on Both Towers
Now that we’re into 2025, the renovation is visibly transforming the property. Looking at both towers, it’s exciting to see how far things have come. The scaffolding and construction barriers that once dominated the site are gradually coming down, revealing a sleek, updated façade. The balconies and exterior railings are looking fresh, and the new paint scheme gives Summer House a modern coastal aesthetic.
With peak rental season approaching, homeowners and potential buyers have been keeping a close eye on the timeline for completion. The good news? We’re seeing major strides toward wrapping up the larger structural elements, and finishing touches are coming together on key areas.
What This Means for Owners and Buyers
For current owners, the assessment has been a challenge, but these updates should positively impact property values. Renovations like these make a property more attractive in a competitive condo market, and given Orange Beach’s strong vacation rental demand, Summer House remains a desirable investment.
For buyers, this is an opportunity to secure a unit before the post-renovation market prices adjust. Once construction is complete, we’re likely to see increased interest in available condos.
