    A Better South Walton Announces 3 community meetings in May...

    Teresa, I don't agree with you that the "common interest" you reference is shared by county gov't.. We have a unique situation here with 30a which is not shared with most of South Walton. I don't trust anyone not impacted daily by trying to get north to 98 without putting up with serious...

    A Better South Walton Announces 3 community meetings in May...

    Still waiting for someone to address my previous post (25). Isn't anyone worried that if incorporation takes place that we would only be replace a tyrant in the North with one to the West? Both would only be interested in tax revenue and have no interest in addressing the issues uniquely...

    A Better South Walton Announces 3 community meetings in May...

    As I understand it the incorperation area to be included is everything south of the bay within Walton County. If this is true then wouldn't Destin and Sandestin be a part, and if they are, given their size relative to the area on 30a (where most of the complaints and impetus are originating)...

    Misc Kaiya Beach Resort on 26 Acres in South Walton

    The previous developers of this parcel took Sandcliff Estates to court looking for access and lost. Project (Aquatera) then folded. Hope this one does the same (folds that is).

    Misc Kaiya Beach Resort on 26 Acres in South Walton

    Had forgotten about that strip of land (driveway) with house at the end between Sandcliffs and Alys. Can't imagine Alys wouldn't outbid interloper for control to minimize competition if they saw this as happening.

    Misc Aquatera

    Where is the beach access for this property? Things haven't changed since it was Aquatera and they thought they could go through Sandcliff's which bombed, or have they?

    Misc Kaiya Beach Resort on 26 Acres in South Walton

    Originally a project called Aquatera was planned for this site but could not get beach access through Sandcliffs across the street and was cancelled. Don't know if the current plans are from the same developers. Also heard that current planners had asked St. Joe for ingress/egress permission...

    New posts and signs on the beach at Eastern Lake

    From what I read on Facebook, the homeowner did have surveillance camera's on his property and folks were urinating on the dune and by his house and he has young children. He has tried everything he could to handle this problem with the increasing crowds coming to this area and he went to the...

    Cell service?

    Verizon seems to be the best down here but there are stretches of 20 where there is virtually no service. When I drove to the FWB airport it was spotty at best from Freeport to Niceville. Welcome to Walton County.

    Beach Chair vendor moved my chairs

    OK now you're going to hear from a long time local. I've lived here for over 15 years and our son & wife are here now with our three grandchildren. So there better be room on the beach for us and no one better move our chairs either!!! This whole area is getting a bit ridiculous and sometimes...

    30A Art Walk at Several Galleries July 3

    For quite some time Ruskin Place Artist Colony in Seaside has had First Friday Art Walk. Don't miss it as this artist group presents entertainment as well as most shops providing wine and cheese offerings.

    Where to watch Fireworks in South Walton

    Seaside and Watercolor both put on shows. Use public parking, north side of 30a and access between two for a great view of both. Two for one.

    Has the TDC run its course?

    I believe I read where the TDC/BCC has let out a request for quotes for a national marketing program. Is this how the TDC sees the needs of Walton County, and specifically SOWAL, a shotgun approach instead of laser marketing.

    Restaurants to try near Gulf Place!

    Vue at Santa Rosa Beach Club for dinner. Stinky's Fish Camp to the West. South of Philly on 393 just north of Gulf Place for a great philly cheese steak and other stuff. Fire in Gulf Place if still there. Basmatis for asian, Boragos for italien. I live on the east end so have limited exposure...

    Cycling Routes Near Seaside/Watercolor and 30A

    It is roughly 18 miles from one end of 30a to the other before you get to 98 so almost anywhere on 30a would fit your requirements (15-20 miles round trip). You are right that cyclists on 30a are not appreciated and that is because 30a is a narrow, 2 lane county road with a lot of...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Sarah Comander was not at the meeting and had recused herself since she missed the last meeting. If it mirrors the last meeting the remaining 4 will be split 2/2 and the project fails to pass. Go to Walton County Ideas for Visioning on FB if you have it for up-dates.

    New Development with Hotel Next to Alys Beach

    Since you are on the North side of 30a, you most likely have easement rights from the property owner on the South side. You don't own the land but have legal access which would be in your deed.

    For Rent Vacation Beach Home rental " 12 Bedroom Home close to Pompano Joes

    Which is it; 12 bedrooms (mini-hotel/McMansion Houses) or 5? And only 3 parking spots for 5 BR? Isn't this against code? My guess it was built with plans approved as a 3 BR but once built the "bonus room and Library" spaces majicly became bedrooms. This is so typical of SOWAL(turning their...

    New Development with Hotel Next to Alys Beach

    So all traffic into and out of this project will have to use 30a? If so, it won't be long before we see stop signs and then traffic lights on 30a a la Rosemary. You're right, this is going to make it exponentially worse for the folks in Sandcliffs and for that intersection in general. Don't...

    New Development with Hotel Next to Alys Beach

    Previous Aquatera project tried to gain access through Sandcliffs across the street. Believe it went to court and Aquatera developers lost and that's when it went bust. I don't know if the Romair folks know the history but someone should keep an eye on the folks in Defuniac when this project...

    What's being done with abandoned property in Seacrest? Something is happening there.

    It was to be called Chateau du Paris and was platted for seven single residential lots. Access granted through Montery (might be Tranquility) across the street. Cleared recently with rumor Luke Bryan bought it for a compound. Think that County cleaned it up as it was an eyesore, but don't...

    Spring Break Shenanigans

    Banned on beach and parking lots (people kicked off beach were taking the party to the WalMart parking lot). Also, advanced another $200,000 for Sheriffs Dept. to pay for more OT and for additional deputies from surrounding communities. I like banning booze on the beach during Spring Break as...

    Cell coverage

    My wife's business-supplied phone has AT&T and she works in Seaside. Worst service as a phone I've ever encountered but texting seems to work ok. I have Verizon on my personal phone which works fine in the SOWAL area. Seems to be a consensus that Verizon is the choice.

    Walton County Sheriff's Office Spring Break Safety Video | UPDATES

    My wish is that they would patrol the beach more often even AFTER spring break. Way too many glass bottles on our beach. Sometimes that's all I see on my walks and some bottles are never disposed of and just left on the beach. Our county needs to monitor that along with the unleashed and...

    weekend crime

    It's not the week end yet and our neighborhood was hit last night. Right in back of us. Man walked through the front door and fortunately woman had two dogs that started to bark so he took off on foot. Lucky for her he took off. It happened at about 12:30 AM and we are right off of 30A in...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    There was a commissioners meeting in Defuniak on the 27th and they discussed the re design of Chateau 30A. People still refuse to call the Hampton a Hampton but we all know what it is. A video of that meeting should be available but as of yet I haven't found it. Anyone out there have any...

    Armed robbery at texaco?

    It was EZ Serve a convenience store at 10970 30A. It was an armed robbery, suspect white male, thin build, 5'6'' and 165 lbs. What's this area coming to? First the attempted robbery at Silver Sands and someone in our own neighborhood in Seacrest breaking into cars. More people, more crime.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Deer Lake State Park is just to the west of Prominence which I heard they would bus people to. Not sure of the facilities there but is not the kind of situation I would consider acceptable if I were considering paying the prices they are asking there.

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    I can sympathize BR and predict that every parking lot and driveway will house these illegal parkers unless they are gated or have passes they will enforce. Our experience when we lived in a small unit condo (9) on the beach was that we had people using our parking lot and private walkover...
