Sanctuary at Redfish and ALys Beach

[SHELLY]

That is the real funny part. Once ashore they realized it was an electric motor and the switch was off. The wife is soooo upset she may divorce her idiot of a husband. Anyway, looking back on this crazy story thank god they used an agent or they may have not had the proper tools to get to shore!;-)

QUICK! Sell this husband a few more condos before he gets away!

Every time I drive by Alys I wonder if a monk might walk out onto the street. Looks more like a monastery than a beach community.

I used to think the same thing until (1) I saw what a big hurricane does to houses and the kind of buildings that survive and (2) went inside a couple of the houses. The beauty of Alys is the craftsmanship, the detail, the courtyards, the hidden spaces. Alys is lovely and will be for a very long time. How many of the other recent (2004 to present) developments can you say that about?

If I had a million dollars...well, unfortunately that wouldn't get me any closer to an Alys beach house, would it? :roll:

I agree with Rapunzel. When everyone first started talking about Aly and pics were posted- remember the reaction? Most of us (including me) were flabbergasted!

After being there, seeing a few houses, and driving through the area regularly, it has grown on me. All it needs now is some residents to "clutter" it up a bit- not too much, but add more plants and "evidence" of life! It needs to look loved, then it will be perfect!

And when you buy your place there, we will come over and make it looked lived in!!!

If the Alys Beach community gives people the same feeling that Fonville Press does, then it's going to be a great place to go. Right now it has a peaceful feeling (even though there are tractors and construction stuff around it which I guess says a lot to be able to feel peaceful with all that stuff around) and I love going to Fonville Press.

and maybe we will hang some colored Christmas lights.

I know this, now that Alys is underway, Charlie Hilton's house, located across the street, doesn't stand out so much. (this is in reference to the white concrete, not architecture).

I guess it didn't have gas in it and they got stuck out in the middle of the lake. It was freezing cold and took 4 hours to get to shore using the gifts (several wine bottles) from their agent. I guess they used the bottles like oars(you probably are getting a visual here). Anyway, they are pretty upset and are thinking about selling their unit and never coming back here. The biggest concern the lady had was she had no ideal it got this damn cold.

Too funny

Have any or all of the units at Sanctuary at Redfish closed? I haven't seen any closings in the records. Are there problems with contract holders come to the closing table?

Although things are very slow along most of 30A, there are some properties moving each month in Watersound, Watercolor, Rosemary, etc. However, I haven't seen any significant closings at Alys over the last 6 or 8 months. Is anything selling in there at all? While it looks interesting, I don't think it will have the wide appeal of some of the other developments along 30A. Is the lack of buyer interest an indication that the developer might have missed the mark on the design of the community?

Here is an update on the [ame="http://www.sowal.com/bb/showthread.php?p=183635#post183635"]Sanctuary thread[/ame]...

Looks like Redfish is another flop. The county and developers needs to get out of the "If we build it, they will come" mentality.
