Caribe Resort Condos Real Estate in Orange Beach 

Address: 28107 Perdido Beach Blvd Orange Beach AL 36561

Known for its luxury condos, contemporary architecture, and unique location, the Caribe Resort is one of the most sought- after complexes in the area. This would definitely be an acceptable location if you were looking for a condo for sale to live in full time, use as a second home, or to rent out to tourists. Although the community is not directly on the beach of the Gulf of Mexico, Caribe is just across the street with breathtaking views of the bay, Robinson Island, and Bird Island to the north and the Gulf to the south. With its stately appearance from Perdido Beach Blvd, Caribe is located just east of the Perdido Pass Bridge, about 1.7 miles from the Florida state line.

This well-appointed community is said to have the most amenities of any other condo on the island. Here is some of what you should expect to see:

Rental Information and Potential

As I mentioned earlier, there is a good mix of people who purchase at Caribe for full time use, as well as for an investment. The majority of people who own condos or other real estate in Orange Beach rent their unit out to some extent. Some rent it just for a few days of the year to friends and family, and some have major campaigns to capitalize on as much rental potential as possible. They do so through self-managing through VRBO (Vacation Rentals By Owner) or by using one of the many rental management companies in town.

Due to the size of the individual units, resort-like amenities, and location, Caribe has attracted many vacationers over the years and is one of the best on the beach for generating the most rental income. In 2018, the average rental income for a 2-bedroom unit was in excess of $39,000. The average rental income last year for a 3-bedroom unit was over $48,000.

Affordability

Here's an example using a sales price of $550,000 (the average selling price for a condo in Caribe). If you put 20% down as a down payment and have a 3.92% rate on a 30- year fixed conventional loan, your principal and interest payment would $2,080. I'll use an example of $3,000 per year for property taxes. Taxes could be more or less, depending on if the unit is to be used as a second home, full time residence, or investment. The HOA fees are $600 for this example. HOA fees will be more or less, depending on the size of the condo. So, based on these figures, your payment would be between $2,930.
