Was just looking at the trip advisor ratings and they were mostly 2 stars as all of them said they had sticker shock as panama city not ready for $35 dinners and many said the food wasn't good. It shows you that because a restaurant does well in one area doesn't always transfer to another.

Its ironic Dr Horton was only able to penetrate 30-a because lot prices fell 70-90% between 2005-2011 ish. If greedy investors never pushed prices threw the roof from 2000-2006 all this mass building on 30-a on dirt cheap lots wouldn't have happened thus holding prices down.

30-a is exploding with turf wars.Santuary by the sea just hired a security guard to direct traffic at the end of its board walk as several neighborhoods use it.They've called the police on several people.I can see huge legal fights on the horizon

Were do you drive and park anywere in seagrove? I'd be shocked if theres any parking near grove by the sea in the public areas

so basically dr Horton is going to flood the 30-a market with 450-600k homes that cost them $200k to build with the dirt cheap land they bought to build on.So If real estate slows they'll cut prices huge and flood the mkt with dirt cheap homes.30-a has never had a mass builder that can build...

Show me a similar house in watercolor doing $240k a yr rental i'll buy this on the spot. The real rental on a house like this is $160k or so. Please show me how you get a $240k run rate as the avg rental on 30-a will do 22-24 total weeks a yr worth of rentals blended between spring ,summer and fall.

If i'm not mistaken to get a permenant disabilty card you must be a permanent resident which means license,voting card etc otherwise one can get a temp disability card for when they're done there. I have a grandfathered sticker from out of state and to even be in the lottery is only instate...

Pandoras has good food but i can't pay $40 for a porterhouse of $37 for a filet when i can get the same steak at outback for $23.The prime rib special is a good deal

actually thanksgiving week is very crowded as many owners come down but outside a few snow birds I've seen few people swimming over the yrs

shooze who i really salute are the builders. those lots could have been bought for 15-25k at one pt. i bet the builder is netting 200k or more per $450k house. Yes its a nice development but i assure you 99% of family's aren't going to be happy driving 10-17 hrs to be 2,5 miles from the beach...

I almost crapped. a house in there went under contract listed at 700k. Those houses were 300k 2 yrs ago. 30-a is reforming a bubble

Beach runner you won't be laughing in a few yrs. I don't think people understand whats going on and how you'll be affected going forward. gov rick perry signed a bill 2 months ago essentially authorizing citizens to start liquidating there whole homeowners book of business. Basically citizens...

shooze i'll take the other side of that. i've watched natures walk go from a ghost land to 40-50 homes. The homes are nice but depending on if you have kids or not its a 2 1/2 mile trek from the homes to the beach as i measured it once. and i'm pretty sure the public beach is very crowded. If...

you're right. i meant they don't write property insurance in fla. i have state farm in ga for 35 yrs and was amazed when i bought a home in fla no state farm. just go to there website and put in the website

state farm only writes auto insurance in fla

egb momma yes you can rent golf carts and several vendors advertise on here.Unfortunately much of 30-a has step drops to the beach. i would recommend driving next to the dunes at seagrove were the beach next to the complex is the flatiest around were the beach sand actually gets on the road. its...

every builder will tell you it depends on what you want. I asked a builder about 10 months ago and he said he can build for 150 a square foot. but i'm sure theres tons of overages

i agree i've eaten there at least 5 times over the yrs and the food was good but i agree with many of the issues above such as it being dirty and service is shaky at best. i think its 95% a local bar were people eat at the bar when they get hungry

yes franny all areas are screaming but the pricing of the higher end like watercolor is back near all time high prices were the middle areas or lower areas are still 50-60% off highs.i know as in 2010 I paid about 30 cent on the $ and right now I can make 60% profit but its still 45% off highs

I'm not a relator but I track the mkt weekly for the last 4 yrs on whats sold to what people before paid. What I've noticed incredibly is a few things. Many places in watercolor,rosemary and even seaside are back near all time high prices. A place in alys beach for possibly a record $2400 a...

theres several like buzz woodham and fla pest control.Shop it around

I didn't think citizens covered sink holes anymore?I agree more private insurance is good. but give me a break hows st. johns insurance or balboa insurance going to pay my claim? they have 45 k policies. i went with citizens because after being with state farm in my home state i just couldn't...

28% of fla has citizens. I've had for 5 yrs and have been very happy with 10-12 % rate increases. But thats over now. starting in 2014 citizens will place all renewing policies in and insurance pool and if a private insurer matches the price you are forced off citizens. Hers the PROBLEM...

blue mountain. isn't the public beach access on both sides of the public access very narrow? did he try to get you to move from the public area are people strayed onto the retret area?The high water mark is the avg amount the tide comes in over a 17 or 18 yr period which unless they hire a full...

I have to agree. you said you've been many times and like the place yet you get one bad item and act like they're the worst.They got a bad batch of oysters that's not there fault. All you had to do is send back and order something else.I've been to hurricaines a few times and like there food...

I was going to buy in there in 2009 as I liked the neighborhood and loved the infinity pool but could never overcome the thought of the beach access being over a one mile drive when I could see it 400 yards away from the pool and I knew renting it would be much tougher.I think the closest...

in 2009 I heard about them doing way with it and i rushed mine in and am grandfathered., Since me and my wife own the house I wanted to change the sticker to both our names and they said no. But I know they're having attrition every yr as grandfathered in people die yearly or people forget to...

A friend of mine showed me the mls listing were shorty's is for sale.What I found in teresting is a transaction was made in dec 2012 were a corp out of new jersey bought it. I have no idea if shorty's owns the corp but its out of new jersey were shortys owner is from. If whoever owns the land...

here scoot. this is a big one. rents a ton of bikes and started renting scooters a few yrs ago. they've been around a long http://www.butterflybikeandkayakrentals.com/#!__motorsports

scoot you know the scooter rental business is about a 3-4 month season?So many businesses in the area can't make it as the season is so short

zac are you listing the paradise by the sea lot? The dude paid 200k or so for that and is trying to flip for 500k plus. haven't looked but i bet he is flipping the waters edge lot. i know he bought many lots. also the paradise lot was listed before i believe and never sold

i looked at watersound west in 2009 and passed on buying there.I'm amazed how well its done. I think people are crazy paying $255-$270 a square foot as its a good 10-12 min walk to the beach. The houses are also very close together, But then again i can't believe people in watercolor phase 4 and...

Be aware of the paypal scam on craigs list. they want you to pay them threw pay pal using there paypal link which is fake and then when you give the info they have your account #'s

Lisa i bought a home 200 yards from the beach in 2010 and to this day got one of the best deals on 30-a and my homes up more than watersound homes so im happy. i guess i,m just amazed somebody would pay 700k for a 2500 square home with such a far walk to the beach. if you're on the far side of...

personally i think watersound west has gone from fairly valued 18-24 months to crazy overvalued now. i drove around there a month ago and many of the homes are packed in with 5-10 feet between them going for 600-700k that were no more than 450-500k 2 yrs ago. i guess the flippers win again

The words got out. Its that simple. tdc did alot of advertising up north and thus we now have record crowds. For instance when i first started coming 20 yrs ago i could park in seaside or grayton easily.no i don't dare try to go to grayton in the summer as the parkinng is a zoo. the last few yrs...

I don't kow about a name but i can say its one helluva cheese steak and filling too

Ate the philly for lunch today and i have to say its very good. Its one of the Better i've i've had and its very large.Its now on my list to go to on a regular basis

i'll definitely come and try it. the best i've found so far is donut hole.

yes amy i'll never forget. i've been coming to sowal for 20 yrs. i missed the huge 4 fold run in prices. i recall seeing a house for sale in seaside in 1991 for 400k that went to 2 mil. when houses started tankin in 2007-2008 i waited for the right ea. then i struck in the winter of 2009 when...

Are construction cost really $145 a square root to build? maybe the've risen. so if a builder carges $145 a squarefoot avg what is he netting per home. It seems he still makes 15-20% net. so if a builder sells a 500k home he's netting a 100k profit. doesn't seem much different than the old days

Is segars serving with a gold nugget. Wow a 24 ounce porterhouse is ala cart $65. with a salad and potatoe and glass of wine easy $100.

ive eaten many times at steak house all over the world from houston to dallas to la to atlanta to paris and i really believe outback has a heck of a steak

hurricaine insurance co's should have there coffers stuffed full now. there hasn't been much activity in fla for 5 or more yrs. from what i hear many insurance co's seem to be dropping pre 2006 older homes as i believe they;re not hurricaine compliant

I'm sorry when i saw moderately priced and pandoras i had to answer. $40 for a tbone? $33 for a ny strip.. even $24 for a sirlion. Its good food but i got sticker shock first hand when i got the t bone a few yrs ago. those are ruth chris prices. there $14.95 prime rib special is a good deal. the...

what i don't like about bmb is the beaches are very narrow and very crowded. And it seems to have the most problems with people claiming its there private beach from retreat to many of the condo's. I swear several of those homes near mike huccabees are going to slide onto the beach

we've almost got zero rain and today was a mostly sunny day. the forcast yesterday said we were supposed to get killed with rain today.

i know a few months ago there were a was one of the better lots for sale for 20-25k. how many lots were the. It was errie driving in there. one home 1/2 built with a sawhorse on the porch.it had a nice pool but its a heck of hike to the beach so i don't know how they'll be for a rental

i bet they paid 10-15k per lot. now they'll mass build 150-200k homes and push values on other homes down. I thought beach access is over 1 mile from there.how did they buy the whole neighborhood when many different banks owned all the different lots?

Was watching weather channel and even though its moved far west they act we'll get hammered still as were on the right side of the storm.At least no direct hit
