About the host

Hosted by Janet Brittain

Host profile image
Neal and Janet have been in the property management and construction business since the early 80's. Janet currently has a business managing over 800 single family homes in NE Alabama, where they live. She is an Army brat whose father was a helicopter pilot stationed primarily in the SE. She graduated high school in Alexandria, VA and has a Finance degree from Jacksonville State University in Alabama. Neal has lived in Calhoun County, AL his entire life and graduated high school in Alexandria, AL. Neal's master carpentry skills and Janet's love for all things real estate make them the perfect team. They have 2 adult children, a yellow Lab and lots of brothers and sisters that love to spend time at Brittains' Beacon. Neal is a true outdoorsman. He and Janet's 4 brothers love floundering out front, fishing the bay for trout, sea bass, and deep sea fishing. Janet and the ladies mostly enjoy sunbathing on the deck and the beach.

Why they chose this property

What we love about our location is that the beaches are uncrowded. The Fort Morgan area has regulated against numerous multiunit condos thus keeping the beach population down. We were drawn to our specific property because of its elevation. We are 27 feet up on a dune giving us a spectacular view of the gulf and still a short walk to the beach. The size of our home is the perfect fit for our family gatherings and yours too!

What makes this property unique

The openness of the main living area into the kitchen and dining area with the vaulted ceiling and glass doors at the front allows for 18 people to be all in one space and not feel crowded. The double Bunn coffee maker is a huge hit with our large groups. Even though we are across the street from the beach you can easily watch the beach fun from the deck or even inside the living room. We can be at the Kitchen Island making pan cakes and see dolphin or schools of fish hitting out front. This usually ends in a stampede to the deck and sometimes to fishing poles and the beach. :0
