It is warming up here on the coast and we are saying good bye to most of our Winter Guests as they leave to head back north.

We have been working diligently over the winter to be ready for the spring and summer season. I would like to report a snap shot of the capital improvments made since the begininng of the year.

New Trolleys – 2 purchased and operational

In addtion to the property improvments we have been planning the 3rd Annual Orange Beach Wine Festival for May 4th. This is a seriously fantastic wine festival with over 120 wines to sample. Space for the Sunday Champagne Brunch is limited to, two seating of 60 people so plan on being here for this once a year event.

Be aware new parking passes will be used begininng next week. Four color coded passes will be issued for Caribe Realty guests, Owner Guests, Vendors and employees. We hope to minimize unwanted people to the resort.

Lastly, the board passed a new property rule that there will be no smokiing within the fenced pool area. This has been an overwhelming demand from many of our owners.

We hope to see you soon!
