Speaking of Blue Mountain Beach, you might want to consider it as well. Sea Bluff, 19 townhomes, has recently been completely renovated and has a really nice pool as well as sitting right on the gulf. It sits at the highest point on the Gulf of Mexico and has 69 steps to the beach and a beautiful view from the top of our walkover. Some consider the descent to the beach a drawback. I don't. There is also Bella Vita and Adagio close by. One of the finest restaurant in SoWal is right across the street with at least three others within easy walking distance. It is only my opinion, but living here fulltime, I consider the Blue Mt. Beach area to be unparallel for both residents and tourists. Mike Huckabee thinks so too.
