That cannot be Alys Beach. The shutters and doors are not painted white. Nice looking home though.

Oh man...we laughed at the whiteness of this place, but it is stunning! We took the tour before we left....there will be greenery running up the walls. What we could not understand is...why are there no streets laid? Maybe they are pavers and they would get ruined? If I had "FLIPPED" and made a gajillion $$$$, I would buy here! (I think) One of our issues was the lack of openess to the street...but those upstair terraces are to die for! I could just imagine lying up there counting the stars!

Is it just me or is there something weird looking about those windows and doors? They kind of look cheap and tacky. It seems as though the architecture would welcome solid paned glass instead of divided glass.

Gorgeous photography, protfolio. Stunning homes!
Really love the photos of the homes with all the lights on just after sunset!

It's interesting that when you talk to different people, some say divided lights are traditional and classy, and some say the opposite. The new towns are nothing if not traditional. Divided lights are traditional and Alys Beach is modeled on historical concepts.

The fact that the buildings are white, have clean lines, and are relatively free of adornment may have you thinking "modern", and expecting undivided glass. However, the divided lights are in keeping with the concept.

It doesn't mean your opinion is wrong, but I disagree. In general though I prefer as few lights as possible in most designs. Also as you may have guessed - the windows and doors in Alys Beach aren't inexpensive.

Does anyone out there know what the lots at Alys have sold for?

This entry is very inviting. Love the shadows.

The homes, as in the other pics don't excite me. I think I'd like to imagine them built on unlevel terrain. Landscaping may do wonders here though, so hope to see them soon landscaped.
