    Walton County Vaccine Rollout Info & Updates

    I got through yesterday afternoon but it said there was an appointment in Gulf Breeze, which is near Pensacola. I just didn’t want to go that far so I backed out. I told my son and he said I should have taken it. I tried again but it was gone. Question: Are y’all willing to travel all over the...

    Mediacom outage again??

    My cable tv and internet have both been out continuously since Sunday. Not intermittently. I have an appointment for a technician to come out on Thursday (the soonest they could make an appointment). This - all after a tech came out last Friday and reconnected our service at the box on the...

    Mediacom outage again??

    Thank you for your reply. That actually makes sense, but I can never get anyone from Mediacom on the phone who can give me that type info. My cable tv is back on now. It’s just so frustrating that every time we come down here to our beach house, the service is out. This started happening this...

    Mediacom outage again??

    I just had Mediacom out here yesterday (in Eastern Lake area) because none of the services were working. He did something in the outside cable box and everything started working again. Now today (ONE day later) cable tv is not working. Internet is working however. Mediacom is telling me that an...

    Mediacom outage?

    Is there a Mediacom outage in Seagrove area? We came down yesterday for the first time since the hurricane and had no internet or cable tv, so we called Mediacom support. They said their was not an outage in our area and had me reset box, etc. That didn’t work, so they scheduled a tech to come...

    Ugh - at all the private property signs between Eastern Lake (beach) and Seagrove 1

    We come down to Seagrove at least every other week. We have a house about a block north of the beach and a block west of the lake and usually set up (our own) two chairs and an umbrella on the (county owned) sand between the lake outlet and the gulf waters edge. No problems for us (so far). As...

    Next week is really going to be a mess...

    We’re on the beach this afternoon where the Eastern Lake outflow is. Code Enforcement just came by and told several families (who had chairs and tents) they had to move. They were set up about 20-25 feet from the water slightly to the west of the San Roy monster home (south of the vacant lot San...

    New gulf front restuarant?

    A friend said she heard of a new gulf front bar/restuarant and package store opening next spring. Has anyone heard of this or where it will be located?

    New U.S. 331 Bridge across Choctawhatchee Bay Now Open

    We left 30a this afternoon around 12:30 headed north on 331. All four lanes were open from the bridge to Freeport and traffic was moving smoothly both ways (north and south). Once past the Freeport intersection where lanes were reduced back to two, traffic going north didn't significantly slow...

    Injured duck

    Who do I contact for an injured duck (Loon?) ? He/she was found on the beach near the eastern lake outfall. He kept trying to fly or move his wings but couldn't. A man took him to the lake and the animal eventually (very slowly) made his way to the lake proper. Hope he'll be okay. Just for...

    Thanks for the info!

    Red Tide in Florida?

    Any reports of red tide? My young grandchildren started coughing a lot on the beach yesterday and continued during the night. They do have runny noses, etc., so it may have just been the beginnings of colds.

    New posts and signs on the beach at Eastern Lake

    Yes - these were the signs that were up this past weekend. What you don't see in that picture is the statement at the bottom telling people to "walk along the edge of the lake to get to the gulf" (not over their sand/property! - my words). One sign is immediately as you get out of the lake from...

    New posts and signs on the beach at Eastern Lake

    All of this makes me so mad!! But what astounds me is that he has (there is) a sign 10 feet from the gulf! Can he do that? The posts are white and blend in with the sand - so I'm guessing eventually someone running or a little child walking along with family by the water with run into one of...

    New posts and signs on the beach at Eastern Lake

    There are more 'keep out' signs at Eastern Lake. They say 'Posted. No trespassing. Keep out". The sign posts look new (more substantial) than what was there a couple of weeks ago. There's one about 10 feet from the gulf water!

    Beach Chair vendor moved my chairs

    We have a vacation home in the eastern lake area, so we are not actually locals. This is our first summer in the house and I'm not one to spend time on the hot beach, so this was really the first time I have sat in a chair out near the water. Just wondered if this happens a lot.

    Beach Chair vendor moved my chairs

    Sorry this is LONG! My family - grown children, grandchildren, pets - came down for a week to visit with us. This morning my sons went down and set up six chairs on the beach close together. We didn't take up more than 15-18 feet. They said there was nothing else (chairs, etc) anywhere near...

    Interior Design/Furniture Store recommendations

    I need to furnish a vacation home (will not be used as a rental) in the Seagrove area. Can anyone recommend an Interior Designer or Furniture/furnishings Store in the Destin or 30a area? I live in another state and would prefer not to buy furniture here and have a move it to Seagrove. Thanks for...

    Hampton Inn Seagrove Beach on Chateau Hotel Property

    Wow - I just spent my Saturday afternoon watching the video of the planning commission meeting. I have to say I was so impressed and proud of all of those citizens and representatives who spoke in opposition to the Hampton Inn project. From Seagrove Baptist church representatives to neighborhood...

    Eastern Lake outfall and beach "ownership" question

    What happens when the outfall at Eastern Lake causes the water to redirect, on its way to the ocean, across someone's 'No Trespassing' property line? Here's what happened today (some of this I observed; some was told to me second/third hand): The lake took a hard right turn from around the...

    Cost of construction?

    Thank you all for your comments. We have looked into the cost of insurance (we are in Dalton Cottages in zone X) as well as taxes. We are well aware of the architectural/structural requirements :cool: after going back and forth with our architect's plans and the HOA but it will all work out...

    Cost of construction?

    We are finally planning to build our beach home on a lot we bought in 2001 (in the Dalton Cottages area near Eastern Lake). A couple of years ago we asked around and were told we could build for between $150 - $175 per square foot. Since then it looks like things may have picked up. Would those...
