About 5393 Armadillo Ave
This is the ultimate trifecta of island living! Grandfathered short-term rental status, built on high ground, and located in the Bear Point community, this opportunity is truly exceptional. It's hard to overstate how rare this is— *a very limited number of residential homes have STR (short-term rent) grandfathered status in Orange Beach, and now you have the opportunity to own one of them. *Enjoy peace of mind knowing your home is securely located at a high elevation, where flood insurance isn't required. *Armadillo Avenue lies in the heart of Bear Point, one of the island's most sought-after communities! Take your golf cart down Armadillo, a picturesque street lined with live oaks, palm trees, and magnolias. Visit Oso for live music or delicious coastal cuisine, spend your evenings at Bear Point Beach on the bay, or try some twilight fishing from the dock. Bear Point has it all—from a playground and barbecue area to a boat launch near water sports and a marina. This charming three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath coastal cottage provides plenty of space for guests or entertaining island-style! On the main floor you’ll find an oversized primary with an en-suite, featuring a jetted tub and separate shower. 10-ft ceilings and bamboo flooring add to the openness of the living room area. The kitchen offers the coastal charm you are looking for, with colorful lighting and backsplash, quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. The outdoor space has been transformed into a garden oasis, complete with a flagstone patio, gazebo, and privacy bamboo. Blink and you’ll miss the outdoor swings nestled among the vines and twinkling lights. A full bath can be found on the ground-level, off the storage/utility room. The driveway offers plenty of room for a boat or RV. The voluntary POA is offered at $300 annually, providing endless fun at the bay including a beach, playground, bbq area, fishing piers, and a boat launch. Buyer to verify all information during due diligence.
