Emerald Dolphin Pensacola Beach FL
When I purchased my Emerald Dolphin condo in 2006, a good friend came over with a housewarming gift; A plaque that reads, "If You're Lucky Enough to Be at the Beach You're Lucky Enough." And every time I'm at my beach place I decidedly feel "Lucky Enough."
The Emerald Dolphin is conveniently located less than half a block from one of the most popular seafood restaurants on Pensacola Beach, Peg Leg Pete's Oyster Bar and Lafitte's Marina. You'll have to try the Grouper Supreme sandwich and visit the Under Where outdoor beach bar.
Emerald Dolphin Pensacola Beach FL
Emerald Dolphin was built in 2006, and was designed to provide spectacular Gulf of Mexico views. The building, located on Fort Pickens Road, has three floor plans; a two bedroom plan at 1245 square feet, a two bedroom plan with a "bunk room" or office at 1345 square feet and a three bedroom condo just shy of 1700 square feet. There are also five penthouse units in this 17 story tower.
The Emerald Dolphin balconies are some of the largest on the beach. The three bedroom units are located on the east and west ends of the building and wrap around the unit. Unlike most condos on Pensacola Beach, these units have balconies that overlook both the Gulf of Mexico and the Santa Rosa Sound.

Amenities include a state of the art exercise facility overlooking the Emerald Dolphin pool AND the Gulf of Mexico, a community room, a swimming pool and hot tub. There is also an area for owners and guests to temporarily park their toys like boats and travel trailers.

Pensacola School Liaison Officers for Military Families
After more than 20 years "married to the military," I know a thing or two about military moves. And, I know how important getting accurate, reliable information on schools at the new duty station can be to military families. So I am really pleased to share some information about the School Liaison Officer Program.
The school liaison officers are tasked with helping children in military families within a 50-mile radius of the base make a smooth transition to the new school. The program has only been around for a couple of years, but there are military liaison officers available at all our local bases. Some of the issues the liaison officers can assist with include school choice, transfer of records, graduation requirements, immunization requirements and special education programs.
School liaison officers can also pair incoming students with current military family students, or local students willing to serve as peer facilitators, so that the new students have a sense of connectedness. Some local middle schools and high schools have an established program, Student 2 Student, and the school liaison officers are knowledgeable about these programs.
If you think you could benefit from the program, please contact the appropriate liaison officer at the e-mail address posted below.

Pensacola Beach Condos Under $200,000
Finding a condo on Pensacola Beach for under $200,000 has not - at least for the 10 years that I have been selling condos on Pensacola Beach - been an easy thing to do. And even with the slump in our beach real estate market, it's still not an easy thing to do. But, it's not impossible!
Pensacola Beach Condos Under $200,000 - Today there are 13 Pensacola Beach condos actively listed on the Pensacola MLS that are priced at under $2000. They range in price from $119,500 for a two bedroom-one bath 914 square foot unit built in 1973, to $198,900 for a two bedroom-two bath unit at 1,000 square feet built in 2007.
I've just put a condo priced below $200,000 under contract for a buyer client so I have prepared a quick raw video to give you a better idea of just what you can buy at this price point.
As you can see from the video, you won't get a tremendous amount of space at this price point and your beach views from the unit may not be stellar, but you know the saying, "If you're lucky enough to be on the beach you're lucky enough!" Some of the other things that may be missing at this lower price point are convenience items like elevators and amenities like work out facilities.
Another thing to consider when looking at Pensacola Beach Condos Under $200,000 - or beach condos at any price range for that matter - are just what are the additional costs associated with beach condo ownership. Very often I have calls from potential buyers for these lower priced condos that are surprised to learn of the additional costs they will incur in the form of homeowner association dues.
A condominium is a collective ownership model, meaning you jointly own the condominium common areas with all the other owners in your complex. As a co-owner you have a share in the responsibility of maintaining the common areas and amenities as well as the exterior of all the condominium areas. If the condo has extensive landscaping it must be maintained and watered, the same for pools, hot tubs, play areas, boat docks, work out facilities and so forth. You will additionally have a share in the cost of insuring the property and beach properties do have higher insurance costs than properties in most other areas. The fees for these shared costs are covered by monthly dues to a condo homeowner's association.
When considering Pensacola Beach Condos Under $200,000 it is important to inquire about the homeowner association dues. My practice is to always request three months of board meeting minutes for my buyer clients so that they have the opportunity to review the way the board is run and also ask additional questions based on any information they read in the minutes.
