There is a massive house being built on the beach before the Gulf Shops access that is supposed to take another 2 1/2 years to complete. We have heard that Snoop Dogg owns it but then heard it was a businessman that owns 30 McDonalds. Does anyone know?

Where are Gulf shops? Is that where Michael Jackson's and Johnny Depp's houses are?

I'm sorry it's Gulf Place, corner of 30a and 393. Still getting my bearings around here!

As a general rule, no matter the size, very few houses (Hilton house aside) that take more than a year to build are terribly managed or owner makes tons of changes.

We talked with a woman who stays in the winter in the condos which are now behind the house being built and that's the time frame they were given for construction completion. I thought it was ridiculous myself. It looks as if the basic wood that is in place is already taking too hard of a beating from the elements.

The only house in that area, matching the description is the one that almost "fell" into the gulf with the big rain a couple of years ago.

Water from rain and possibly from Gulf Place itself, flooded the area and the place fell...

I believe there is drainage still from Gulf Place and if you look on the beach, this house has a small pipe, actively dripping/running water from it, on to beach.

That's why sand is brownish there.

Code Enforcement was out there this week for something.

Believe there may be a law suit in there somewhere too.
