This year we rented Aqua Vista, a house directly on the beach!
Aqua Vista is a 4 bedroom duplex and ours is on the left side.
In February friends and family will be staying in the other side named Sandbox.
We LOVE seeing the dolphins from the huge windows facing the Gulf. Another treat this year has been watching the Blue Angels practice over the Gulf.
Here is the VRBO link to the house http://www.vrbo.com/308451
The back of the house facing the Gulf Of Mexico.
The sand dunes are protected so we must stay on the path. The sea oats roots hold the sand dunes together when waves crash against them. The dunes are habitat for the endangered Alabama Beach Mouse and other animals.
After Christmas people donate their Christmas trees to the Gulf State Park. The State Park volunteers lay the Christmas trees on the beach right up by the dunes so the sand can start piling up over the Christmas trees.
The sign in the background says
NATURAL HABITAT
AREA:
Please Stay Off The
Dunes & Sea Oats
This sign says that Orange Beach has a fine of up to $500 and/or 30 days in jail
for walking or driving on the dunes.
