Today, Wednesday June 8 at 5:30 at the 331 South Walton Beach annex, the public will have an opportunity to voice support for the proposed Walton Dunes Regional Beach Access. This new Regional Beach Access will provide on site parking and bathrooms with 240 feet of public beach. This proposed...

it is a good point that one should exercise "due diligence" prior to buying a property. The problem is when the source of the noise pollution is built after you purchase your property. What about people who have owned their property for over a decade and a new restaurant is built with...

Airports do attempt to limit noise with sound barriers and encourage of the develpment of quieter jet engines. Along highways the govenment has erected sound barriers. The problem with some businesses along 30 A is they do not even try to mitigate noise or nuisances . Go to the rear of most...

The attached picture shows roof top mechanicals before and after installation of accoustic enclosure barriers. The problem with a roof top noise source is that it projects the noise polution over a wide area which neighbors can not shield themselves from. The church did not install this noise...

On 30a there are many businesses that are adjacent to residential neighborhoods . In some areas the noise and light polution negatively impacts the quality of life. Businesses and neighborhoods have and will continue to co exist. Are businesses doing all that can be done reasonaly to...

Yep--when they need government they are quick to scream for a bail out

We noticed new fiber optic cables being installed on 30A. Is there--hopefully--a new internet provider? thanks

The proposal to put a 1650 foot boardwalk for beach access in the middle of the eastern portion of Topsail Preserve State Park is an outrageous cynical attempt by some greedy property investors to increase their property values at the expense of the environment. As stated above by Celeste...

good point jodifl---our high insurance rates essentially subsidize beachfront houses.

"seabythegrove" pretty much sums it up.

The cost for a "beach cottage" now is running from half a million dollars and up. Most people in that price range are going to be turned off by "cookie cutter assembly line built" homes-whether built in a factory or in a "Levitt type mass-production" development package deal.

There appears to be an increase in number of pre manufactured homes being erected in our area.

This is Inlet Dunes which is just across residential street from the Orange Street beach access with beautiful unspoiled dunes and nice pristine beach.

Another Cassine Village in Seagrove Beach sale: Just heard that another new house just sold in Cassine Village for about $400k to $450k.

Cassine Village in Seagrove Beach update: new -to be built -house just sold for $625k. There are now 3 houses in process of being built in Cassine Village. Buyers are taking advantage of the lowest mortgage rates so far in 2014. Also, just heard that there is an open house in Cassine Village...

if it is at front of grove by the sea it would be a nice short walk to beach. that close to beach should be a good rental. also check out lots on susan street, the neighborhood behind cafe 30a, sugarwood, cassine village, dalton subdivision. most lots near beach or even "back lots" have...

New corporate developments are being very effective in promotional marketing. Their high priced marketing agencies should be congratulated. "Back lot" properties that advertise "easy access" to Grayton Park and a "few minutes to beach" sound attractive to many naive buyers. In fact...

$404,273 LOT 15C Cassine Garden Circle Pending / 602313 Another house sells in Cassine Village in Seagrove Beach. Cassine Village is an all amenity low association fee beach community. Cassine Village is in Seagrove beach just steps to the beach--less than 1/4 mile. And also 5 minute...

What is laughable is why someone would buy a "beach house" that is not walking distance to the beach. Most houses in Water color are not walking distance to beach and none of the Nature Walk houses are. The real deals are in hidden communities like Sugarwood Beach and Grove By the Sea where...

The association fee is very cheap--around $1000 a year-- and includes 2 pools, tennis courts, and a central park with lake and gazebo, and its own cypress nature area. It also adjoins state forest biking and hiking trails. byw: correction-- i left the "k" off of $500k.

The amount of new construction and recent sales in Cassine Village is interesting. It is also remarkable that here are still some houses for less than $500. This community has all the amenities of Nature Walk and Watercolor Crossing but is just steps from the beach and first class...

We all need to show up at the County Court House Annex today at 4pm to stop this waste of 5 million dollars of tax money to build a new large TDC "Discovery center" . This maybe the last chance you can stop the county from wasting 5 million dollars of tax money that could be better spent...

Are there any association management companies that you would recommend? Thanks

The upside down property investor optimists can only hope they have that crowding problem. BTW-"lily-white butts" is comical but don?t you think it implies a slight racist bias?

There appears to be increasing conflict about beach access and beach rights. Concerns include how this could affect tourism and property value. It seems that private guards at Seaside and Rosemary Beach have not only restricted public access but also public use of the beach. In...

SJ:Great pics and info ! Thanks. Some beach front owners are doing it right only to have their nice white sand contaminated by a neighbor?s cheap dark sand. I thought the county was going to require seawalls be covered by 3 feet of sand. :(

You want more off shore drilling which you already know is harmful to the environment? Why would you support more off shore drilling when you already know its ill effects? Your own observations reveal your faulty logic . Googling for articles to support your untenable position is just...

Dear Brad, What is the county going to do about the eroded beach at the Blue Mountain Beach access at end of Hwy 83? On days when there is an on shore wind there is virtually no beach to sit on. Also, with the number of people that depend on this access why isn't there a public...

You actually think that allowing off shore drilling will save the wetlands? Are you not aware of the detrimental environmental impact of drilling in the Gulf? You are not concerned about Gulf coast drilling 100 miles off shore? Well so much for your credibility.
