completed Alys Beach home photos

[Mermaid]

Thank you so much for posting your photos for us to see, Kurt. I love looking at houses. I will say they are beautifully done! Those arches--interior and exterior--remind me of my 1926 home here in Indianapolis, built back when houses where made of plaster and fantastic things were done with walls as a matter of course. Now you must spend a million plus $$ to have the same.

Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach both have a very European feel to me. RB makes me think of homes in Belgium, with their particular rooflines.

Sueshore, did you have an agent take you for a tour at Alys Beach? The last time we peeked in there was July and there wasn't a whole lot to see. Are the agents pirhannas or are they nice? I'm busting a gut to take a look over there but we'd only be tire kickers. :funn:

I will PM you the name of our guide. We were quite smitten until we got home and looked at the prices. I suggested that we just sell out here in Dallas and MOVE!!!!

I'd never make it there. One of us would track mud (or dog poop) all over the place, and then, you know, there goes the neighborhood.

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 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!

P.S. Could the windows/ doors look odd because they are the hurricane type?
