30A Beachfront Homes For Sale | Condos | Lots | FL Hwy 30-A Beach Front Real Estate is in high demand because of the current record low prices.  I enjoy working with Beachfront buyers and sellers on Hwy 30A.  I recently set up a web site dedicated solely to Hwy 30A Beach Front Real Estate and the address is www.30Agulffront.com.  Beach Front Real Estate can be very complex and it is important that you hire a real estate agent that has experience working with buyers and sellers of beachfront properties.  When purchasing 30A Beach Front, you should carefully consider the items below.

Seaside, FL has an awesome turnout for its 10th annual Seaside Half Marathon this past weekend.  Although I do not participate, I do have a bird's eye view of the racers from my 4th story condo.  My dog Dolly who viewed the race for the first time in her life loved it too. Dolly watching the runners in the 10th Annual Seaside half marathon. There were 3,700 runners and 300 volunteers this year.  This is the maximum amount of runners allowed for this race.  The race begins at Seaside and the turnaround point is Gulf Place along the 30A corridor.  The event benefits the Seaside Neighborhood School.  Female runners far outweigh the males runners, with 74% participation.  It ends up being more of a girl's getaway weekend and a reason to come to the beach.  The race has grown in popularity n...

I was able to introduce this landmark Grayton Beach property to a buyer this week and it is now under contract!!  Multiple offers came in on this special property.  Incredible rental opportunity and the view is as good as it get's.  Built to sleep up to 20 people and a private pool to enjoy.  Grayton Beach has long been a favorite area for those who enjoy the "old florida" laid back way of life.  This home previously sold for $2.2m and hit the market bank owned at $888k!  This one is gone.....but I have included a link below to view all Grayton Beach Homes and Real Estate for sale.  Enjoy!!

  Grayton Beach, Florida offers some of the most unique landscape and old Florida charm anywhere on the coast.  A very hard effort was made during the boom of development to control density in this area and the result is something very unique to the Destin Florida and entire Gulf Coast.  The property below is a recent bank owned foreclosure that hit the market that is gaining a lot of attention.  This home is located just steps away from the beach and the rental potential is phenomenal.  Below you will find a link to this property and also a link to view all Grayton Beach property for sale.

  Blue Mountain Beach Real Estate Blue Mountain Beach is one of the most diverse and “laid back” communities along Scenic Hwy 30a in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. The Blue Mountain Beach diversity offers a mix of 1960′s florida cottages, luxury condos, exclusive gated gulf front communities, and some of the most popular new communities being developed. All price ranges and styles are represented. But one thing that is consistant is the laid back nature of the area. You will only find local owned restaurants and bars and slow traffic as most walk or take bikes to the beach. Blue Mountain Beach is home to some of the most luxurious condos of Sanctuary By The Sea, Bella Vita, and Adagio. It also houses arguably the most exclusive gated gulf front community on the coast, The Retreat. Location...

WaterColor Luxury Homes For Sale - JUST SOLD! Click The Link Below to Search WaterColor Real Estate WaterColor Homes For Sale I just sold a home in WaterColor Florida.  I represented the buyers in the transaction and they are very happy with their purchase.  My clients were purchasing this home as their primary residence so it was very important that they had a large lot, full size garage, and a carriage house.  We found the perfect spot in WaterColor Phase III.  The home was located in the back of WaterColor on Sandy Creek.  This is a great area because many of the home sites are larger, some lake front, and many of the owners are full time residents or second home owners. There is less short term rental activity in WaterColor Phase III, making this the perfect spot for my clients.   W...
