Thank you. We will give them a look.

Local friends: If you know anyone who likes food and might be looking for an extra job (about six to ten hours a week or so), please share or pass this on… — Part-time In-Home Personal Chef / Healthy Food Prep Work in a peaceful home and help someone’s health through food! Wife is in the...

Not seeing a soft pop yet in WS Origins, north of 98. About every 2-3 weeks there is a new price per square foot for resales. With so much demand, even the original Stillwater section of the neighborhood (with lower quality materials and smaller lots) is (surprisingly) staying competitive in the...

We’ve lived in two of the three places and enjoyed them both for different reasons. Will send a PM with more details, let me know if it doesn’t go through. Good news is you can’t go wrong with either one!

Ditto the previous poster who recommended renting. We actually rented in two different areas, one south of 30A near Eastern Lake and one in more of a locals' area (Pt Washington) before making a purchase. For us, living in two different areas helped us not to make a costly mistake given our...

Does anyone know what the vote breakdown was - who was the 1 "no" and who was absent?

My spouse received an email related to this, it was a survey. Not sure how they got the email address. I've always thought instead of 150 people in the lottery getting use for the year (according to the email there were over 500 applicants), why not draw four groups of 150, each group getting a...

Unrelated to customary use, but because it came up here and I've wondered about it... has the county ever discussed a cap for property taxes for a residence owned and occupied by a full-time resident? Even if it only went into effect if someone owned the property for a proper length of time or...

lol, liked that warning disclaimer alongside a post that starts "I don't mean to be rude but..." ;) This wasn't my thread, so my question was less about price and more interested in the two comments above that mentioned asking a "lot" of questions. I was curious what they were thinking of in...

Examples of questions that would be most helpful? (We are also building soon, and we "don't know what we don't know" so to speak.)

I try to stay out of politics around here (but enjoy reading the Sowal forum to educate myself before elections about how corrupt our county governance can be)... but I was truly shocked to read the following email blast this week from our US. Representative. One of the reasons we moved to...

Is there an organized group one could join in opposition to this moratorium?

Um, I don't know who you called, but I took the photo last week and I'm 100% sure it was in Walton County unless something drastic happened geographically and Rosemary Beach is no longer a part of Walton County?! This vendor went straight past all the Sea Oats and The Pearl chairs along Rosemary...

Speaking of beach vending, I saw this for the first time yesterday - it was complete with a speaker broadcasting up and down the beach the traditional "ice cream truck" medley...

I was already planning to vote for Cindy, but between the robo call I received disguised as a "Poll" asking if I knew about the things listed in the postcard above, and then the negative postcard (above) coming in the mail the next day or two... it only solidified it for me. Why go so negative...

Will, such great comments above - and I had no idea about Hurricane Oyster Bar and the others in your list, thanks for those. Like you, my posts on this thread were for informational purposes only. I definitely do not expect any restaurant or chef to cater to Celiac (I can eat at home just...

We are not familiar with the school system here as we don't have children, so it was surprising to drive past Bay Elementary (up 395/Pt. Washington) and see so many new classroom trailers outside. I'm shocked really, in a county that is rich in tourism, that we are educating our county's youth...

Just wanted to update this thread with a few new-ish additions... Chiringo in Grayton Beach: the only place I know in South Walton that advertises their fried shrimp and French fries as gluten-free. The shrimp are coated with rice flour and the fries are real potatoes :clap: - not frozen like...

Ditto. The choices in the original charter post seem limited and leave out the area's main economic generator. It seems like a city name without the word "beach" in it would be unwise.

tide12, couldn't agree more - "hand cut fries" is the magic word! (When we moved here we were surprised so many restaurants can charge $20-40 for a meal with frozen sysco fries. But they do - should be an embarrassment for the chefs, it is not much harder to run a real potato through a machine...

We frequently rent from VRBO (on vacation and locally when family visits as we do not currently have enough guest rooms for everyone) and the idea of an extra "fee" does give me pause - that was our main motivation in the beginning to go to VRBO instead of rental companies (to avoid unnecessary...

Thanks, Red Dawg, but the bed is gone. (and Thanks, Sowal.)

King Bed Headboard/Footboard and Frame for sale. Best offer, cash only. Delivery possible in South Walton/30A/Pt. Washington area. PM via Sowal or Text/call 850-532-1334.

Paula, you may want to look at some Amish websites too - I don't know any local vendors/shops, but my parents have a mom and pop solid wood furniture store in the Midwest so I'm familiar with the difficultly finding well-made heirloom pieces here locally. The Amish make solid wood pieces that...

Gone to a new home - thanks!

Bookcase in private home (non-rental) was only used in office for two months so there are no scratches or wear. Shelves are adjustable (peg holes inside). From Solid Oak Productions, Inc. in Springfield, IL - real wood with no particle board and Made in USA. Retails $500, asking $175 cash. Kept...

KFol and WillB, I actually have a restaurant questionnaire about to mail out to chefs to create a handy resource for celiac vacationers in our area, PM me your email and I'll send you what I find out, but it could take a month or two since so many restaurants are closed right now. After finding...

Thanks, Matt and Miz... In the documents dated 10/13/15 for this Tuesday's BCC meeting, disappointingly a couple of the deviations are still present even though the developer acquiesced on two of them in the Planning Commission meeting: the one related to sound and the one related to parallel...

**TUESDAY October 13th Board of County Commissioner Public Hearing/Final County Meeting at 5:00pm (South Walton Courthouse Annex)** & and the Developer is hosting a "Final Community Meeting" the night before at 5:30p on October 12th at the Pt. Washington United Methodist Church's Stephen Center...

The only acupuncturist I have personal experience with around here is Dr. Wu at (healingartacupuncture.com). VIE magazine did a news story with him in the last two years that may still be in their archives, one testimonial in the article was about the daughter of a local family where Mayo...

Video of the meeting came online today: Board of County Commissioners on 2015-09-10 5:00 PM - Planning Commission Regular Meeting - Sep 10th, 2015 The Market discussion starts at approx. minute # 08:55. Motion carried for continuance to move to next meeting, but discussion and two testimonies...

Does anyone know why our district's commissioner wasn't there to vote and participate in the decision (per the newspaper article)?

The exterior photo earlier in this thread looks very similarly drawn to the recently re-designed and re-opened Mallihouana Resort: If it is the same architect and not just someone making a copy (the size and scale of the KAIYA windows drawn, particularly the area between muntins, doesn't look...

If it is this parcel (#08-3S-19-25000-004-0030, I'm not sure if the waltonpa.com link stays live from the search, but if so, this is it: Walton County Property Appraiser's Web Site) According to that, it looks like the deed had action on 01/31/2015 transferring from "CRYSTAL BEACH DEVELOPMENT...

If my memory serves it had to do with outdoor "amplified sound" and the developer was asking for a variance (? I might have the word wrong - basically it was one in a list of things they wanted approval for that was different from the Traditional Neighborhood Development code - the future use...

Danny, that was my concern - what is the point of a code when someone gets approval for a variance to more than double the intensity of two parts of the TND code. In this case I came around to it because the increased percentages (over 50% if my memory serves) were replacing the removal of...

It was Artisan Square - right after I posted the question, we decided to stop by the courthouse even though we'd be two hours late just in case it was still going on... I didn't realize the dockets are so long, so we had oodles of time before it even came up on the agenda for discussion. Was...

Does anyone know what happened at the public hearing today? We got the time wrong and missed it but are concerned about what we heard was a condo/mixed use development in Historic Pt Washington.

Great to know the classic burger breakdown because that burger from The Bay has ruined us for all other burgers down here (and is partly to blame for the weight gain since we became locals). Everything about it is like a burger should be... grilled bun, flavorful beef, soft and melty American...

price?

Congratulations!! (I was sorry to see they misspelled your first name in the story... I know accidents happen, but it does make question the magazine a bit since repeatedly misspelling the name of the article's star is a pretty big journalism mistake. But I am happy for you that SoWal.com is...

Very cool space, and I love how you are trying to preserve it! :clap:

The Bay Restaurant also has a bay-side "beach" bonfire if you are looking for dinner and a bonfire vs. just being on the beach.

Couldn't agree with Steel1Man more... Honestly ever since moving here we have found the majority of restaurants to be a disappointing combination of quality to value given it's a tourist area so the need for a consistent quality is not necessary to be profitable. Coast Food + Wine was a notable...

I mean this sincerely, and not trying to be snarky, but did you have a typo in the size of the lot? We've done a good bit of research while interested in bayside property and have one of the area's top realtors helping in the search, and if you don't have a house sitting on it to sell with it...

Oh Sowalian, I am so sorry to read this. I wish we had something to offer you, but we don't yet own any rental properties. But I did want to thank you for warning people and sharing your experience, and wish you all the best on your search today. We just moved into what should be our last rental...

Thanks for posting that article, Kurt. Several of the points were new to us (i.e. PCB formerly having had coastal lakes) so it was an interesting read. My two cents for the potential con ("possibility of more taxes. A 1 Mil increase would cost the average homeowner $350 a year...") would be for...

SOLD - thanks, SoWal. :clap:
