Presented by the Alys Beach Sales Team, exclusively dedicated to the sale of Alys Beach properties
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We’re pleased to share the third edition of the Alys Insider, our quarterly digital publication created to keep you informed on the latest real estate activity, community events, and town enhancements. Whether you’re a full-time resident, a frequent visitor, or simply someone who loves Alys Beach, we hope you find this update both informative and engaging.
This summer at Alys Beach was full of celebration and connection.
Our July 4th festivities brought the community together for a day of fun, tradition, and fireworks. From the Donut Eating Contest to the evening concert and dazzling display over the Gulf, it was a joyful reminder of the spirit that defines our town.
With the fall season upon us, we will celebrate the inaugural Cars of 30A at Alys Beach, launching with the elite Hangar Party. This exclusive automotive showcase will feature over 200 rare and high-performance vehicles, set against the town’s iconic architecture.
To provide you with an update on real estate sales in Alys Beach, as of 9/30/2025, our sales team has recorded 50 sales, totaling $271,355,000 in sales volume that will close in CY2025. This reflects a continuation of the trend toward thoughtful purchasing, with buyers prioritizing personal use, family enjoyment, and long-term legacy over speculation. Alys Beach continues to advance towards the vision outlined in the master plan, with town enhancements to common spaces and infrastructure. We’re excited to share progress on several new trail systems designed to enhance walkability and connectivity throughout Alys Beach:
• Poppy Path in the GG Block offers a scenic route through one of our newest neighborhoods.
• Alligator Allée now connects Longtail Road to Scenic Highway 30A and extends from 30A to Béla Gray Green and Beach Access, improving pedestrian access and beach connectivity.
• The Silva, Alys Beach’s new lifestyle amenity, continues to progress towards its early spring 2026 completion and will offer space for gathering, events and activities, swimming and lounging, and a poolside café and bar. The enclosed event pavilion and adjacent lawn will open new opportunities for events programming, including the highly anticipated kid’s camp.
We currently have a compelling selection of new development opportunities and resale properties available. We invite you to stop by the Sales Center to meet with Robbie Roberts, Ben Bricken, or our newest addition to the Alys Beach Sales Team, Field Williams, and explore what’s available. We are delighted to welcome Field and hope that you will take the opportunity to meet him when you’re next in town.
Thank you for being part of the Alys Beach story. We look forward to seeing you around town, and to sharing many more updates and developments in the next edition of the Alys Insider.
All the Best, Tom Dodson and the Alys Beach Real Estate Sales Team

Alys Beach Town Architects Marieanne Khoury-Vogt and Erik Vogt Named 2026 Seaside Prize ™ Recipients
Alys Beach is exceedingly proud to announce that Alys Beach Town Architects Marieanne Khoury-Vogt and Erik Vogt have been selected as the recipients of the 2026 Seaside Prize™, awarded annually by The Seaside Institute™. The Prize recognizes individuals whose work has made significant contributions to the fields of architecture, urban planning, and community development.
Marieanne and Erik will be honored during the Seaside Prize™ weekend, February 6–8, 2026, beginning here in Alys Beach with an architectural town tour and welcome reception, and continuing through Saturday with events and symposia dedicated to themes of resiliency, sustainability, and legacy. The awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at The Chapel at Seaside, with Seaside founders Robert and Daryl Davis presenting the honor.
“The Seaside Prize is a testament to the extraordinary vision and dedication Marieanne and Erik bring to their work.”
Founders of Khoury Vogt Architects (KVA), the pair established their practice in 2001 and have since shaped the architectural and urban character of Alys Beach. Their work reflects a deep respect for classical traditions while embracing innovation, balancing vernacular influences with a refined modern sensibility. Their designs, ranging from intimate courtyards to civic landmarks, are recognized for their elegance, livability, and enduring impact on placemaking.
Widely celebrated in their field, the duo received the Arthur Ross Award from the ICAA (The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art) in 2023. In 2024, Marieanne Khoury-Vogt was recognized by the Urban Guild with the Barranco Award for her work as an Alys Beach Town Architect. Marieanne and Erik, along with KVA, continue to receive awards, accolades, and the recognition of prestigious publications as their architectural contributions continue to garner attention worldwide.
“The Seaside Prize is a testament to the extraordinary vision and dedication Marieanne and Erik bring to their work,” said Tom Dodson, Alys Beach Vice President of Sales. “Their influence on Alys Beach, and on the greater discourse of town planning and architecture, continues to inspire.”
We hope that you will join us February 6-8, 2026, as we celebrate the accomplishments of our own Alys Beach Town Architects, Marieanne and Erik.
Registration for the 2026 Seaside Prize weekend of events is currently open.
$15,500,000, WITH 43 FEET OF GULF FRONTAGE
ALYS BEACH SETS RECORD WITH HOMESITE SALE
Alys Beach Real Estate, is proud to announce a record sale with the closing of a Gulf-front homesite for $15,500,000, with 43 feet of Gulf frontage.
As part of Alys Beach’s New Urbanist master plan, this property will be developed as a custom home with Gulf frontage, securing a place amongst Alys Beach’s incomparable gallery of architectural works of art along with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico.
Property values continue to escalate as the forces of scarcity and legacy, along with the coveted beauty of the coastline and architecture, converge in Alys Beach. Alys Beach draws nearer to completion while undeveloped coastline within the state of Florida, along the 30A corridor, and particularly with Gulf frontage, increases in scarcity. Alys Beach has very few Gulf-front homesites remaining, which are
released to market by the developer on a very limited, phased-offering basis. Additionally, as Alys Beach is built on legacy, retention is high with the majority of homebuyers using their properties for their own enjoyment, cultivating community for themselves and their families, and creating legacy in ownership for generations to come. A purchase in Alys Beach is much more than a future homesite, it’s an investment in architectural design legacy, in stunning and biodiverse natural landscape, in time well spent together.
This homesite sale represents a new record in price-per-Gulf frontfoot, demonstrates the value appreciation Alys Beach continues to experience, and serves as a testament to Alys Beach Real Estate’s premier expertise in conveying the incredible value of ownership in Alys Beach.

The Dannelly in Town Center
SOMERSISLE TERRACE
“Lining Alys Beach’s ‘Main Street’ leading from its town center to the Gulf of Mexico, Somersisle Terrace occupies a prominent place between the retail and resort offerings at either end. As such, it is modeled after the grand Terrace Rows of Georgian London, rising four stories above an elevated stoop and landscaped dooryard. Second floor living affords Gulf views from its front porch and balcony, while an elevated loggia, court and pool on its west side enjoys the western sunset. Four bedroom suites are distributed on three floors, with the principal suite, on the third floor, afforded its own private porch and balcony above the public one below. Above it all, a generous fourth-floor eastern terrace forms an outdoor living room while a western one offers dining alfresco before the setting sun. Both enjoy sweeping panoramic views overlooking the town and Gulf.” – Khoury Vogt Architects
Those interested in scheduling a private tour of Somersisle Terrace are encouraged to connect with the Alys Beach Sales Team.

GARY JUSTISS ARCHITECT
Featured Architect
Architect Gary Justiss has been designing homes in Alys Beach since the very beginning. As a participant in the original planning charrette led by DPZ (now DPZ CoDesign) when creating the master plan for the town, one of Justiss’ design submissions was selected as Alys Beach’s first model home. Today, with a multitude of custom designs to his credit, as well as the designs for several of Alys Beach’s Somerset Custom Home Program offerings, Gary Justiss has certainly contributed mightily to the landscape of the town. Mightily, yet with his signature quiet, humble approach to design that feels balanced by the strength found in restraint. Of designing in Alys, Justiss says, “one thing that’s really great about Alys is that everybody who spends the money to buy a lot and build there is doing it because they really value design…people are in the mood to do something fun. People are very game to do interesting things, whimsical things. And I do love the all-white; it’s almost more clean and modern by default. It’s just a really beautiful kind of sandcastle of a place.”
The latest designs of Gary Justiss Architect can be seen in the EE block Somerset Homes, including the recently released EE17 and EE3. One of his most iconic designs, 52 Butterwood Alley, located at the southern end of Lake Marilyn, is also currently available. More on Gary Justiss can be found here.

Opportunities to build a custom home in Alys Beach are increasingly rare, particularly within the southernmost sections closest to the emerald waters of our Gulf Coast.

Now, just two homesites remain, presenting a truly limited opportunity to create a custom residence with close proximity to the beachfront and the owner-exclusive Beach Club. Those interested in these homesites are encouraged to connect with the Alys Beach Sales Team.
