Tennis Anyone?

It seems like so much focus is placed on golf when it comes to resorts. For good reason, of course—golf is a great game, and the course options along Alabama’s Gulf Coast are both plentiful and beautiful.

But golf isn’t the only great resort sport, and several of Brett/Robinson’s condos offer an alternative for the active-minded: tennis. It’s great exercise, it’s fun, and tennis courts are one of the amenities covered by the cost of a rented condo, so no additional spending is necessary. Phoenix IX in Orange Beach even has an indoor, climate-controlled tennis court on the 12th floor of the building, so you can play tennis while looking out over the Ole River and Ono Island.

If you really want to get that sport-oriented resort feel, you can do both tennis and golf (and, depending on where you go, racquetball and basketball and workout in the fitness room). Then take a relaxing steam in a sauna after all the activity.

The Brett/Robinson website has more information on condos and their amenities—check it out here.

It's Cookout Time

One of my favorite things about summer is cooking out. Ever since I was a kid, when my dad would breakout the charcoal (you gotta love the smell of charcoal), cooking out on a grill has been one of my most beloved summer time activities.

It’s a convenient and easy way to make dinner, too, and is particularly useful on “eat in” nights during a vacation. Just buy some burgers, steaks, or chicken (or all three), toss them on the grill and let them cook while you enjoy the evening outdoors.

Barbeque grills are just one of many amenities offered at Brett/Robinson’s properties. Visit their website to browse the available condos, hotels, and beach houses.
