    Beach Chair vendor moved my chairs

    I had someone in a tent move my chairs last week to fit between me and another tent. This tent's legs were literally touching the second tent's legs on one side and my chair on the other. It looked like we were all together. I had left 6 to 8 ft between my chairs and the vendor chairs on the...

    Misc Blue Mountain Villas?

    Blue Mountain is typically low density. There is only one public beach access that I can think of.

    Condo Roof Top Heat Pump Replacement

    It's not an efficiency concern. Current unit performing fine, but 10 years in the salt air is not good. All of the condo complex units are on the roof and original units are builder grade. Was told that the compressor had been replaced at appx 5 years. I am looking to build a relationship with a...

    Condo Roof Top Heat Pump Replacement

    My current AC company just told mne that they would not replace our roof top condo (4 stories) unit when the time came even though I have a service contract. Since it is 10 years old, we are likely near end of life. I am looking for another company that will be willing to install to take over my...

    Bye Bye Seagrove Village Market Cafe

    Wintery Weather in SoWal

    Birmingham is a MESS! Tried to get home twice. Took over an hour to get ou of my parking deck. All family members stuck at their places of employment and my two dogs are at home locked in a crate. Noone nearby to get them out. Driving me crazy. May be looking at a 6.5 mile walk tomorrow.

    visiting the beach with disabilities

    The Bramble Grove Beach Access in Seagrove is disability friendly. There is a long multi-level ramp available. The life guards there also have a sand wheel chair available. This is a short drive from High Pointe, but it is the only one I know avaialable. If you can get a parking place at Walton...

    Scenic 30A and 395 Intersection in Seagrove Beach

    I just cannot see a roundabout working. Had one in a subdivision where I lived with golf course, and people could not figure out. Really not that hard. I'm probably wrong, but it looks to me like foot and bike traffic are major contributors to the congestion. It seems to me that a cross over or...

    Seafood Market Recommendations Needed

    Nothing particular. It is in walking distance of my place, but I think prices are a little high. It may be that my love of Grouper is the problem.:D I am looking for other options to check out.

    Seagrove Tom Thumb dangerous corner

    I live (part time) on Somerset Bridge Road, and it is an adventure pulling out on 30A. Too often the delivery trucks block the view to the east. My Mini is not much protection from any oncoming traffic including bicycles. I agree. It should not be that hard to require the delivery trucks to park...

    What 30A retauraunts are typically open between Christmas and New Years

    We are planning to be down to Seagrove after Christmas through New Years for the first time. I know some of the places close for all of January. I'm sure we will try to hit Smiling Fish one last time. Other suggestions? Would we need reservatons for New Years Eve?

    Beach Erosion at Somerset Bridge Road Access

    We were down to our condo last week, and we were surprised by the amount of beach erosion at the Somerset Bridge Road access by the Tom Thumb. There was very little useable beach there. It appeared that about three feet was lost at the Sowal sign on the beach. We went on down to Bramble Grove...

    Cocoon's for Breakfast

    Does anyone have any thoughts? It is an easy walk from our condo, but I had not noticed it until early this summer. I'm going to give Fire a shot for breakfast, but I am always looking for smaller places to support.

    A/C service recommendation

    I used Beachside a few weeks ago when I realized our A/C was constantly cycling. Came out the same morning. Was very thorough going over the system and found a few things - mainly bad thermostat. He was here for 4 hours including scrubbing the black mold inside the air handler. Would definetely...

    Wanted Bicycle Trailer to haul beach stuff

    Looking for more of the crate looking type and not a kid or dog hauler. If you saw me with the beach chairs on the handlebars last weekend, you understand the need. :wacko:

    Seagrove Tom Thumb needs to be safer for walkers and cyclists

    Was back down this weekend. One morning a big truck was parked parallel to 30A and was almost even with Somerset Bridge Rd. I had to stick 3 ft of my MINI out into 30A to have any vision to the left. If anything other than a road bike had been coming, it could have been very bad. Basically had...

    Places to eat on 30A East of 395

    It seems like the Mrs. and I always go west from Seagrove when looking for food. I'm looking for non-upscale places east of 395. We have been to Cowgirl Kitchen, Bruno's, Old Florida Fish House, and Flip Flops, but that is about it. We are going to catch the early bird at Cafe 30A (it's .2 miles...

    Elmo's

    Shorty's does have a grilled or blackened grouper sandwich. Has been good most of the time (dried out one time, but they corrected it). Love their fries as well, but some folks don't like coated fries. Shorty's used to be our standing early arrive lunch place. Give them a try. I know we have...

    Elmo's

    Thanks folks. Love Local Catch. It's on my every visit list. Any thoughts on places from Seagrove east to Inlet? Seems like I usually go west. Typically grab a grouper sandwich at Seagrove Market. Added Flip Flops and Cowgirl Kitchen a couple of weeks ago. Tried Old Florida Fish House, but not...

    Mortgage financing condo or single family home

    I used Kristen Pope at Gulf Bank (http://www.kristenpope.com/home.html) I suspect that you will run into down payment limit with her as well, but it is worth giving her a call to see. Condo lending seems to have gotten much tougher. Good luck.

    Seagrove Tom Thumb needs to be safer for walkers and cyclists

    Absolutely agree that parking on the side or in back would help some. :clap:

    Seagrove Tom Thumb needs to be safer for walkers and cyclists

    As a new owner at Seagrove Highlands off of Somerset Bridge Road, I concur that this intersection is a mess. I was down last week, and it was a challenge at times to get accross the street. About one in five cars would stop for pedestrians. Not to reopen the ongoing discussion, but none of the...
