Paradise by the Sea POA Fees

Several people have asked me about the Paradise by the Sea POA (Property Owners Association) Fees. The total annual fees for 2009 are $1,260. This is NOT a mis-print!!! This is the TOTAL amount for 2009. Even so, we maintain a beautiful lighted gated entry and landscaping along 30-A as well as our common areas. In addition we have a total of more than $75,000 divided between three different reserve accounts.

Just try to find any other neighborhood in the area with annual fees even double this amount. You can't. Most QUARTERLY fees are DOUBLE this amount. Just another good reason to invest in this property.

Price reduced to $899,000!!!

However, at this price I'm not offering any owner financing. Purchased home for $1,820,000 four (4) years ago and have invested over $100,000 in improvements, renovations and furnishings since my purchase. My loss is your gain.

A Building Lot with Great Rental Income!!!

After some initial concerns the rental season appears to be shaping up nicely. This home is on track to generate $60,000+ in gross rentals this year, even with 2 weeks of owner occupancy during the rental season. That's slightly better than last year despite the poor economy.

Just a thought. What other building lot with this location, elevation, size and view could you buy for this price that generates this type of income? The fact that you can enjoy this property now, have the option to build another much larger home later (No buildout time requirement) combined with relatively low POA fees, insurance and taxes makes this property a unique value.

You can check it out from a rental perspective at Garrett Realty ~ Paradise Romantica - Seacrest Beach FL Vacation House

Have FUNN!!!

Had a very good showing. My buyer is still thinking about this one. When it is sold buyers will be looking at vacant lots for the same price. Amazing views!

Price Reduced to $849,900!!!

This is by far the best deal in Paradise by the Sea. Buy it as a lot, as a vacation home to enjoy now or both!

RE: 78 paradise by the sea

Yes, the plans I have seen put all the new gulf front homes in the 8,000 - 10,000 sq. ft. range. I believe the heated square footage of Mr. Pearson's home is actually at the lower end of that range.

It's more like a 7,500 for the main house, although from 30-A it does look bigger - like the guest house and over garage house are part of it.
Then again, just 3 front balconies are another 1,800

Condolences and a shoulder to cry on might be a more appropriate response.

A 56% haircut from 2005 price paid...I'm sure the seller was told back in 2005: "Now is a great time to buy!"
