As a Gulf Coast Real Estate Agent and Global Advisor, I’ve dedicated my career to helping buyers and sellers navigate one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country. From the sugar-white sands of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.

 Homes Along the Alabama

Gulf Coast Alabama’s coastal towns are full of charm, offering everything from luxury waterfront estates to practical beach cottages. In Gulf Shores, buyers can find single-family homes that cater to both primary residence living and second-home getaways. Orange Beach is known for its high-rise condominiums, beachfront homes, and boating communities with deep-water access. Ono Island, a private gated island community, continues to be one of the most desirable places for homeowners who value privacy, exclusivity, and direct water access. I often tell clients that Alabama’s Gulf Coast combines affordability with luxury in a way that many other coastal markets can’t. Property taxes are relatively low, and the lifestyle here blends relaxation with year-round amenities like boating, fishing, and fine dining. 

Condos for Sale in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores

Condos play a huge role in our coastal market. From Phoenix towers to Admirals Quarters, Seachase, and Bella Luna, the options in Orange Beach provide something for everyone. Many condos feature resort-style amenities like pools, fitness centers, tennis courts, and, of course, direct Gulf access. In Gulf Shores, condo communities line East Beach and West Beach, offering convenient access to the Hangout, festivals, and the Gulf State Park. Condominiums can be a fantastic option for buyers seeking rental income as well as personal enjoyment, though short-term rental rules vary by complex. 

Florida’s Gulf Coast Lifestyle

Just across the state line, the Florida Panhandle offers its own mix of homes and condos for sale. Pensacola and Perdido Key provide a balance of affordability and access to boating waters. Farther east, communities like Destin, Santa Rosa Beach, and Alys Beach are known worldwide for their master-planned developments, luxury architecture, and investment potential. Florida’s lack of state income tax is an additional draw for many homeowners, particularly those purchasing second homes or planning to relocate full-time. Whether it’s a beachfront condo in Perdido Key or a luxury home along Scenic Highway 30A, the market is diverse and full of opportunities for Gulf Coast living. 

Global Reach, Local Expertise

As a Global Advisor, I also work with clients who see Gulf Coast real estate as part of a larger investment portfolio. Some buyers are looking at 1031 exchanges, while others are expanding their vacation home options across multiple states or countries. My role is to connect the dots—making sure buyers and sellers understand not only the local market but also how each purchase fits into their long-term goals. 

Final Thoughts

Buying or selling a home or condo along the Gulf Coast—whether in Alabama or Florida—is more than just a real estate transaction. It’s about investing in a lifestyle. I’ve had the privilege of helping homeowners, neighbors, and friends find the perfect property for over 20 years, and I truly believe there’s something here for everyone.

If you’re considering making a move or expanding your real estate portfolio, I’d love to guide you through the process and share my knowledge of the Gulf Coast market.

Morning Light on Ole River: A November Walk on Ono Island
This morning on Ono Island, I did what I love most before the day fills with calls, showings, and construction conversations. I grabbed the leash, my camera, and walked the water. November on the island is a softer month. The light sits…
