    Commercial Wanted - retail space 30a

    Hi! It’s been a while since I looked, but when I did most spaces were for sale rather than lease. I think owning the space is a great idea in a lot of ways. Good luck!

    SUP Storage ideas

    Hi! I wasn’t sure where to post this. We are looking for ideas on how to store and secure our 3 SUP boards outside of our home. I think I’ve seen locking racks that can be mounted on the side of the house. Does anyone have suggestions or know of someplace along 30A where we can get something...

    Wanted Home near 30A , ready to buy

    I hope you are having some luck Andy. Things are pretty crazy. I have.a fabulous realtor if you need one. There are typically several neighborhoods along 30A in your price range. It’s just right now that things are nuts (except back in 2006,lol). Fingers crossed for you!

    Private/public beach

    Hi! Your concerns are valid and you should ask the owner or management company. We owned a home in a neighborhood with access but no real place to sit once we got down there. We then owned in a neighborhood with access but if you didn’t rent chairs there was no real place to sit without a pretty...

    Misc Rental projections for NatureWalk

    Well, we are under contract for a home in NatureWalk, eeeck! We are excited. BUT, now the panic sets in a bit, lol. So here is my next question: we have owned along 30A in a small community with deeded beach access but it was a REAL problem once on the sand. The complex next to our access had...

    Misc Rental projections for NatureWalk

    We think we may have found a home in NatureWalk and plan to place it on the rental market until we can get down there full time. It has never been on the rental market and does not have a rental history. We will be getting some projections from companies, but history tells me those aren't always...

    Misc WaterSound West Beach

    Well, shoot, I can’t say I like your answer. We are leaving Atlanta because we prefer a slower pace and less people. I can’t say I’d be thrilled to roll into another under-infrastructured, over crowded place. . I’ve watched SoWal grow for the past 15 years and hope to squeeze a few more out...

    Thank you! You’re home looks beautiful but it looks to be a little higher than our price range. We are excited to get down there permanently but seems like our timing is in the middle of this perfect real estate storm, lol.

    Wanted 4 bdrm in NatureWalk

    Hi! We’ve been homeowners along 30A for the last ten years and just sold our most recent home. The market is very tight right now (as I’m sure most of you know) and we haven’t yet found our next home. We want a more “full time” residence and have really honed in on NatureWalk. We are looking for...

    Camp Creek Lake

    Oh yes, I know. We’ve owned a home along 30A for almost 10 years now and been coming since 2006. We thoroughly enjoy the beauty of the lakes. I was just wondering if Camp Creek opened more often than others? And then if anyone knew which ones opened the most often and least?

    Camp Creek Lake

    Hi! We are considering purchasing a property near Camp Creek Lake. The lake was open when we were looking, and I know there has been a ton of rain, but.. even Google Maps shows the lake open. Is it open often? Or more often than other lakes along 30A? Which lakes would you say open most...

    Searching for Bridget!!

    I got a great haircut from Bridget at Salon Twist when I came down in May. At the time, I set up another cut for July. As it turns out Bridget was no longer at Salon Twist in July:cry:. Does anyone know where Bridget went? If she is still nearby, I'd really like to find her!!! Thanks so much!

    Hurricane Isaac

    We were there for Hurricane Dennis in 2005, and had to evacuate. It was our first experience with such things. Ever since then, we fuel up as soon as we cross the bridge, on our way IN. It took us over 3 hours to get from just East of San Destin to over the 331 bridge. It was an all-nighter...

    Welcome bag/Goodie Bag

    We have some dear family friends who are renting our home in Seacrest. This is their first time to 30A (first time to the gulf!!!). I would love to have a packet of goodies (maybe wine, treats... or things from a local boutique) waiting for them at our home. Does anyone know of a store along 30A...

    How Private Is Magnolia Private Residence Club?

    We own a home in Magnolia Cottages by the Sea, the homes just behind the PRC. I've never heard that before either. My guess, if you are seeing that, is an attempt to thwart party-ers, etc.. It is a quiet neighborhood where everyone enjoys the neighborhood but basically keeps to themselves. Loud...

    Foreclosures!

    Agreed on the stock market... I personally loathe it, and have disconnected from it as much as possible (except for 401-K's)... so you are preaching to the choir on that one. I have to disagree on that severe of an over correction. Even if you are correct in that percentage... 20-30% is more...

    Foreclosures!

    I have to say it feels as if no one learned from very recent mistakes. It makes me afraid for another roller coaster ride. I'm just in a state of open jaw at the moment. I too have watched homes that sold in 2009 back on the market for $100,000+ of purchase price. What is the logic?? The fact...

    Is it worth an agent?

    I'm not entirely sure where you live now... as in what state. But, I can tell you the buying and closing procedures are different in Florida than our hometown in Georgia. It paid in spades to have someone just talk us through some of it (closing costs are bit of shocker!!). My husband and I have...

    Rules about dogs on the beach

    Don't go on my word. It's what I thought she said at the office, but I can't be certain. We own, so she just looked up our address on the website for proof.

    Rules about dogs on the beach

    Ooh.. haha. Tip number one, don't let your dog lap up the salt water. Saline cleanses aren't just for people if you get my drift. YUCK!! And, they have to be on a leash, and poop scooped.

    Rules about dogs on the beach

    You have to get a beach permit for the dog. It's pretty painless, especially if your used to the likes of government processes in cities such as Atlanta :shock:If I remember correctly, you have to have proof of updated immunizations on the dog, and something to prove you are a resident of Walton...

    Judge Dismisses Destin Public Vs. Private Beach Lawsuit

    Yep, we have access to the beach... its just once we get down there, going West is a challenge because of the signs, beach chairs, etc.. I'll be continuing to monitor Andante and pursue keeping the signs and chairs from erecting next season.... in a manner that becomes a nuisance to others.

    Judge Dismisses Destin Public Vs. Private Beach Lawsuit

    Maybe Greg Kisela is who to talk to? I do understand paying for, and wanting to use you own part of the beach. But, this goes beyond that. The message sent is a very strong.... "You are not welcome". And I do believe there must be a right to egress on regress along the beach... a legal right...
