Thank you for your video. I am getting closer to retirement and want to get out of Minnesota. I had to laugh at your mention of what is cold to you, can I interest you in minus 20 with minus 70 windchill 😜
@@ChristoStrom holy moly that’s cold. Well we would love to help you get out of that cold for sure. Can you email me directly at andyh5710@gmail.com. Or call me at 334 4449553. What time frame are you looking at?
We just bought a condo in Gulf Shores about two blocks down from the Hangout on the beach road but not on the beach side. Love it, and I’m already looking forward to the time when I will not rent it to tourists but live in it.
CONGRATS on your new condo. That is AWESOME!!!!! That is a real good area, two blocks from the Hangout? There are lots of fun things to do within walking distance. ENJOY!!! Also, thanks for subscribing to our channel. We have lots of great and fun info coming!!! Hope to see you around town!!!

That is true, it can get quite crowded in the summer time. That is when local delivery like timetoeatthebeach comes in handy....LOL. Thanks for watching
You got it love it Video starts nave and easy volume is great you have your headphones 🎧 on than 10 seconds later your ears drums are getting blown up by intro music 😡
Thanks for your input. This was one of our earlier videos, we have since made the volume levels better, we learn something new with every video we do!! 😃
Sooo, here's the truth. I'm from the Midwest, have been local for app. 3 years. First, Hurricanes "destroy" the immediate region. "FEMA" is/was a joke, it's all about "you and your neighbors". It's a very timely (long) process to recover, and "insurance" companies do NOT PAY. The summers are brutal, if you are not at the beach, everybody "lives" within "4" walls, hence "AC", it's TROPICAL. The tourist as they noted during the summer, along with spring breakers make it almost impossible........The beach is beautiful, though as you migrate east the clarity of the water improves, actually "BLUE" in color as you reach Destin (FL.), you are escaping Mobile Bay and the mouth of the Miss. in the process. Gulf Shores and Orange Beach is very nice, BUT directly north is Foley, NOT desirable (just 15 minutes north), followed by Summerdale/Robertsdale/Loxey, all being NOT desirable and just 30/40 minutes up the road (or "59"). So, the immediate area, hence Gulf Shores/Orange Beach is very nice, decent restaurants, and "cheaper" than east towards Florida. Beach front is all condos, hence investment properties, very "FEW" actually reside in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, endless revolving door of "guest" weekly. BUT when you are from the Midwest, it's a "beautiful thing".
Paul VonAuth thank you for watching and thank you for the comments......We really do appreciate and respect everyone's opinion, and yes we do agree with you on some of these....LOL. Again, thanks for watching our channel. What part of the Midwest did you come from?
Not sure what you are asking. Orange Beach is an island so pretty much every area is amazing. Are you asking best place to stay ? As in condo? Or hotel?
@@chenthariley9014 I would say check VRBO.com and look at condos on the beach. Anywhere in Orange Beach at the actual beach is amazing and you can not go wrong. I tell all my friends to check on VRBO.COM because it is the easiest and cheapest way to find a place to stay.
@@dieboldranger175 That is awesome. Yeah, we love it here too. Please let us know if we can ever do anything for you, or anyone you know or meet, real estate related. Also hit us up if you need any advise on places to visit or eat in our area!!!! Enjoy your travels!!!!
If you are asking if we have shells on our beach, of course we do. Our sand is a soft sugary sand but yes we have an abundance of beautiful shells as well. Where are you located?
That is a tough question to answer....I can tell you that the cost of living on the beach is a bit higher than other places. Most people who work in the service industry in our area usually live in Foley or one of the smaller towns close by (about 15-20 minutes from the beach) and the cost of living is much lower than the beach. Hope this helps!!!
Traffic is horrible and so dangerous they overbuilt the beach now they have way overbuilt Foley and the roads are just not able to handle this traffic! It’s like LA or Seattle Or Denver!
Yeah traffic can be an issue, especially in the summer. I have never been to LA or Seattle, so I will just have to trust you on that one.....LOL. Do you live locally?
@@jcomp3892 honestly traffic is not too bad in November. That is when we slow down. The weather is still actually real good. Water is sometimes still warm enough to get in. What area do you live?
@@obaliving We are from NY looking for a peaceful beach getaway for a few days in Nov when it starts to get cooler here. We love sun and seafood ! We would probably fly in and relax on the beach/travel on foot to shop.

Moved here a year ago to Foley and what still surprises me is the couple of restaurants that close by 3 pm haven’t figured that one out yet
No doubt. Where did you move from?

I was stung by a cannonball jellyfish in Hilton Head Island. I'm very afraid of jellyfish. It hurts really bad.
Oh WOW.....I bet that did hurt. Well, thank goodness the Jellyfish aren't usually that bad around here. What part of the world do you reside?
What about cost of living? Personal Property and Sales Taxes?
I am looking more about an hour away or so from the beaches.

One con is between late May and early sept, tourist season, locals can forget about eating out at a restaurant, unless you want to wait 3 hours

Where is the best place to vacation at Orange Beach?
Not sure what you are asking. Orange Beach is an island so pretty much every area is amazing. Are you asking best place to stay ? As in condo? Or hotel?
@@obaliving yes...condo mainly but would like insight on both

TackyJacks pro or con???
Love the crawdfish and reds.
Love Tacky Jacks and the Bushwackers are amazing!!! Service is always great. Do you live locally?

I am from india. got job offer in coastel restaurant. They offered me 15usd and is that enough to survive me

@@obaliving yes i also take accomodations in that smaller town we 3 people cmng from india we can share everything then so is that pay enough
Can I save anything
@@lavetimouli5798 Strictly a matter of opinion, but if you budget carefully, you should be fine!!
@@lavetimouli5798 I guess that would depend on you. I know people who make half a million a year and can't save anything.....LOL
