While you’re checking, check the Orange Beach AL area as well as Pensacola/Navarre. Especially if you want real beach. I lived in Alabama the first 49 years of life and traveled the AL/FL coast a lot. Not that I don’t like MS, it’s a fine state. But further east is a different shore for shore.
The Gulf Stream makes its turn at about Dolphin Island and back easterly. Typically with clearer blue waters.
