    Do You See Violations Of The Governor's Suspension Of Rentals?

    True in normal times, but not now. I do know of people using the hotels, inns, etc., since they want to have their vacation on the beach. And it will increase. So the quote only locals and property owners should be on the beach isn't correct. There are others who can be on the beach legally...

    Do You See Violations Of The Governor's Suspension Of Rentals?

    Please don't forget as stated by the Governor, hotels, motels, inns and resorts are permitted to be open. Isn't the Pearl among others along 30A fit this description? Just adding a correction to the statement on current renting rules.

    Customary Use and Our 30A Legacy

    I rarely posted and then this time I posted to James Brentwood the answer to your question by operator error on my laptop. But I watched the July 23 meeting and the 1% increase is to either purchase more property or to pay for the improvements to the properties already purchased to attract more...

    Customary Use and Our 30A Legacy

    First, thank you James for tell me about a forum to post the Eastern Lake property purchases. I barely ever post just try to keep up with what's going on. As to the one cent tourist tax. I watched the meeting of July 23 and I believe it's to purchase property or to pay for the improvements...

    Customary Use Will Happen On Sowal Beaches

    Below the line is everyone's. Understood , above the line is not if it's part of your TAXED property. AND YES when we purchased in 2001 we knew where the line was. Had the "survey " done before putting down the payment. And yes we know it moves. DO those who are coming thru and setting up camp...

    Customary Use Will Happen On Sowal Beaches

    I and my husband did our homework before purchasing any thing on 30-A. My DEED reads my property goes to the MHWL. So who's paying/reimbursing me for my property tax for "customary use" of my deeded private property? I don't think chairs umbrellas and tents will last the whole day without...

    Commercial On Dalton Drive Approved [lawsuit filed]

    Unfortunately I am one of those rental owners, WHO CAN'T VOTE AND WHO'S WORDS SEEM NOT TO BE HEARD. I miss the days back when I and my husband managed to purchase a slice of heaven near Eastern Lake in 2002. I can't stand how the County Commissioners have allowed the area to become what it has...

    Turtle Talk: Digging Holes on the Beach Can Harm People, Turtles

    Yes, we go to the beach to have fun. It is also the home to many beautiful animals, plants, etc., "Nature". Customary use still means you put it back the way you found it at day's end. We all like to enjoy ALL the area has to offer but as I was brought up and children I hope have learned ; You...

    Looking to buy a condo in SoWal

    Hi Catmoney What is your price range? This Would be helpful to know before advising. Some thoughts... I'd be real hesitant to buy a unit if you need rental income to cover. A lot of beachfront units rent well, but you never know about hurricane damage (leeward) etc... Also you loose tax...

    Wanted I Need A GULF FRONT Rental For a Friend w/

    Eastern Shores and Leeward on Eastern Lake rd are both relatively level with beach. There may be 1-2 steps on the ramps. Neither has an elevator so you need a ground floor unit. Suggest VRBO. com, navigate to Beaches of South Walton and sort by neighborhoods. Both of these complexes are older...
