Of course we all love the beach but we also love the REAL FLorida - the swamps and creeks, the backwoods, the prairies and fields. We love the wildlife and the beautiful plants and trees! We also love learning all about it and our favorite place is just up the road in Freeport.

We love spending time in WaterColor. The award-winning resort's amenities really set it apart from some of our other great South Walton beach towns. St. Joe did a wonderful job planning the town and preserving its best features. The dunes and beachfront are well preserved. But just off the beach are incredible lakefront trails, marsh boardwalks, parks, pools, and green spaces.
Nestled amongst the palm trees in the heart of Alys Beach is the town's inaugural retail building – the Alys Shoppe. The new urban town is known for its unique architecture, clean lines, and sophisticated style, and the Alys Shoppe embodies the town. Every square inch of the elegant boutique boasts carefully chosen designers from around the world – each with a special story. From the flowy, comfy dresses to the beach ready tunics and covers to men’s Italian linen, hats, and swimsuits, Alys Shoppe has taken the concept of a boutique to a high level.
