Every community has its own personality, fostered by those who live and work there.
Join us for home tours in Orange Beach, Alabama (Feb. 9) and Perdido Key, Florida (Feb. 23).
Meyer Real Estate is sharing a special public opportunity to get a more intimate feel for local communities by walking into a handful of houses and condos. During February, you are invited to tour select properties in Orange Beach, Alabama and in Perdido Key, Florida.
Highlighted on these tours are condos and houses for sale as well as those available for vacation rentals.
You might be surprised to learn that you can afford a gulf-front or near-beach home. Even if you are not ready to buy at this time, it may help you decide on an eventual second home or retirement location.
Vacation rentals are not typically open for inspection, so these open houses are a rare live glimpse into popular rental properties. Admire the scenery from each room, picture your family or friends sharing a condo or home, and imagine the many fond memories that will be created from each visit.
The public is welcome to attend these free walk-throughs that are open between 1:00 and 5:00. For the Orange Beach, Alabama tour, maps are available beginning Saturday, February 6, while the tour itself is scheduled for Tuesday, February 9. The Perdido Key, Florida tour is scheduled for Tuesday, February 23; maps will be available beginning on Saturday, February 20.
To participate in either of the Tour of Homes events, simply stop by one of the Meyer Real Estate offices (Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan or Perdido Key) to pick up a map. Although the tour is self-guided, you will find friendly, knowledgeable real estate and rental agents at each location.
Whether you are interested in real estate sales, vacation rentals, or long-term rental of personal or commercial property, Meyer Real Estate can be of service. Learn more at our blog, or view our website.

Enjoy music from the 1940s during February at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL.
You may not think of great music from the Big Band era when someone mentions naval aviation. But in Pensacola this February, the combination will delight folks on three separate occasions.
Kicking off the trio of concerts is the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, led by Buddy Morrow. Their national tour will stop here on February 2, and the musicians will be eager to share their tunes “for the kids” (of all ages).
February 18 brings another famous group to the stage. The Glenn Miller Orchestra will show off their unique jazz renditions, and will leave you happily humming the tunes afterward.
Orlando Jazz closes out the series of concerts on February 27. This eclectic group will highlight the many famous swing bands of the 1940s, evoking memories every step of the way.
All concerts will be held at 7:00 p.m. in the Blue Angels Atrium of the National Naval Aviation Museum aboard the Pensacola Naval Air Station. Tickets are $27.50 for the general public and $22.50 for museum foundation members. For details, call 800-327-5002.
There are numerous activities to pursue along the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. Take some time to discover your opportunities by visiting for a few days, a few weeks or longer. Choose from the widest variety of beach-area houses and condos when you stay with Meyer Real Estate, and be sure to take advantage of terrific specials and hot deals to get the most for your budget.
