Another Hotel Development on 30A At the Old Collaborations Site?

Not to get us off track from the Hampton Inn, but it looks like there may be another hotel development in the works on 30A. I’m not an “Old Fart Sowaller”, so I don’t know where this site is located. A friend let me know of a new development at the Old Collaborations site that also includes a "small" 75 room hotel plus two restaurants and two retail / professional buildings. I think Ricky Rookis/ Chancey Architects are working on the project.



Looks like the flood gates are beginning to open. I see a long struggle ahead for the "Old Farts" and "New Farts".

You commented on a post that I had asking about where to stay, activities, etc. However, I also asked where Luke Bryan's house was because you had posted that you had seen it. I was very upset with your reply because I felt it was sarcastic but after reading these posts of what you have been through with tourists, it makes a bit more sense on why. I wasn't asking to be one of the obnoxious tourists. I just thought the kids would think it was cool to see from a distance. We live in the same hometown as Madison Bumgarner and see what happens when he is home during the off season and can't have a peaceful dinner out. I would never be one of those people. Celebrities need their family time too. I would never disrespect Luke or his family by bothering him for a picture or autograph. Vacation is not the time for that. That is the reason I included my email so if someone was nice to tell us, it would be kept private instead of being posted for all to see. Some of the posts I have read on here from locals can be quite rude/sarcastic and I began to doubt my decision to visit the area. It's so hard when unfamiliar with an area to know the best areas to stay. I had thought about Seagrove or Grayton Beach but I honestly don't know. Hopefully I can decide soon so I can book it. I'm looking forward to getting to relax on a porch in the evenings while reading a book or crocheting with my kids

i am sorry if I upset you. I can't even find what I said to upset you. Bryan has a house in a neighborhood whose beach access is next to our beach access and has those no trespassing signs posted on "their" beach. If they don't want me to walk past their neighorhood to get to my sister's house nearby, I'll drive there via 30A. I just wish I knew what I said to upset you. You seem like a nice person, and I'm sorry.

Beach Runner, Thank you very much for your apology! I really appreciate that. The comment was made under a different thread. And it seems the locals like to keep the area clean and free of the wild college parties. I'm sure some vacationers can be inconsiderate when renting and not keeping the beaches clean. I've had a few people send me private messages regarding rentals in the area which I appreciate. I try to do a lot of research when we visit a new place. My daughter has been to PCB with our church youth group to a Big Stuf Christian Conference but unfortunately, when they were there the waters were dirty due to a terrible storm that had gone through the area several years ago. I'm looking at Seagrove or Grayton Beach for a place to stay and trying to decide between a house or condo.
