On August 8, 2014, Lorraine and I were given a very special personal tour of the new single-family homes being constructed in Cypress Village of Orange Beach, Alabama. As we previewed the floor plans and got a first-hand look at the activity, we learned that Cypress Village is set to be the first Gold Level Fortified residential development in all of Baldwin County, Alabama. This means these new homes will comply with the 2010 Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety’s highest building standards to withstand high winds, wind-driven rain and hail, and other storm damage. These standards were compiled based on two decades of testing and investigation following major storms. With Gold Level being the top level on…

Ono Island in Orange Beach

Ono Island is a barrier island in southern Orange Beach, Alabama, situated at the mouth of Perdido Bay on the northern Gulf of Mexico.  It is bordered by Bay St. John to the north and Old River to the south.  Ono is populated by sand dunes, live oak trees, and many natural grasses and plant species. This gated community on the Alabama Gulf Coast is accessible via a private bridge, and for boaters, this provides quick access to the Gulf of Mexico. The island was discovered in the 15th century by the Spanish, who named it Orinoco, which means "a place to paddle," and Ono still has the charm and beauty that attracted Spanish explorers.
