The beach house has been around for decades and IMO should have been sold years ago. No doubt the number of shenanigans, friends who stayed there, illegal stuff and whatever else that went on would make for a good book or three.
At one time there was, I believe, a "governor's getaway" or something like that on Guntersville Lake. Nice house with about 6-7 acres on the lake, similar to the beachhouse but on the lake, I think. Probably other properties like that dotting the state that either were sold, shifted to other agencies/divisions, put into use in some other way or are dormant.
The aircraft can and is used primarily for legitimate work. Sadly, IMO, the lack of news media who can or would request, fight for, get access to and then report on the flight logs and who-why-where-when details is one problem in today's state media.
