Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Church Street Village...Maybe the Best Value for Families in Destin Area

Casey Joiner: Real Estate Agent in Sandestin, FL

This perspective is not coming from someone who has just driven through the community, I have been an owner in the community for 2 years. The community has grown and looks as great today as it did when my wife and I first purchased.

Located at 59 Christian Drive, Santa Rosa Beach 32459 just 1 mile West of Co. Rd. 393, Church Street Village can be described as a coastal village, with heavy lush landscaping, and as many amenities as you will find in a family community. Church Street Village was created by experienced and praised Huff Homes Development Group. The community homes range from 1,230 sf- 2420 sf and prices that range from $214,900-$359,900!!! But I guarantee that these prices would not be your first guess upon your entry to the community. The price also includes a workout fitness room, community pool, community gathering room and fenced dog park. The HOA fees for all of these amenities are $185 a month.

One of the most important aspects of choosing the right community is choosing the right developer, The Huff Development team certainly shines on the Emerald Coast and have created a perfect family environment with Church Street Village.

Feel free to contact me anytime about viewing one of the available homes.....or to show you a finished, furnished product...I would be glad to show you mine.

Big Red Box Arrives in Santa Rosa Beach

I gased up today at my local Tom Thumb for just $1.64 a gallon. As I was pumping up, I looked over at the BIG RED BOX. Have you seen them yet? It is a $1.00 DVD dispenser. Can you believe it? For just $1.00, I can now rent a movie for 24 hours. What a great idea. I guess these are showing up in other places too. I wish I would have thought of this idea. I know our local Blockbuster is already down to just one store in the heart of Destin and it would take me about 35 minutes in off season and over an hour in season just to rent a movie there. I am not a member of NetFlix either. NetFlix, move over. The BIG RED BOX has arrived.

What do you think of this concept? Do you have a BIG RED BOX?

Biking on 30A

Yesterday I joined friends for a bike ride along Hwy. 30A. What fun. Highway 30A is a scenic 19 mile stretch of bike trails and old Florida atmosphere. Height limits on Hwy. 30A are 50 feet and it is so nice not to have to worry about high density and high rises here. It is very scenic with lots of coastal dune lakes and lazily follows the Gulf of Mexico in the Panhandle. If you have never been here, you ought to make it a priority of places in the U.S. to visit. It is breath taking.

We stopped at the Red Bar in Grayton Beach first and had two Bud Lights there. They had an afternoon bluegrass band in there and that was lively. The place was packed for a Saturday afternoon. Next stop was Rollie Poly in Seaside. The beers there are much cheaper than at Bud and Alleys and you can walk out the back door and sit under the little pavillion over looking the Gulf of Mexico. Very nice. I think that was a 2 Bud Light stop as well. Next stop the Hurricane Oyster Bar. Another two Bud Lights and some chicken wings and then back home again. Guess that is why they call me 6 pack Kelly, ha. LOL Now I am on my way out the door to the gym.

I hope you had a nice day yesterday. The weather here has been wonderful lately.

Tithing as a closing gift

11-20-08
Josh McLean
Josh McLean: Real Estate Agent in Santa Rosa Beach, FL

I got to thinking about tithing and closing gifts at different points today. Thinking that I need to be more consistent with my donations even more so in this down economy. I was also thinking about some of the silly closing gifts I've purchased for clients that just bought a $700,000 property. I know that most people buying in that price range donate to one charity or another during the course of the year. Why not combine my tithe with a closing gift to my client? I've decided what I will do is take 10% of my commission check and split it with my client. 5% of that check will go to my church or charity of choice and 5% will go to that of my client. It seems like a win-win for both parties involved. I'll keep a running record here of the charities that we contribute to. I would love to hear someone else's thoughts on this subject.

You may want to check out FIRE restaurant on Halloween. Redd the singing bartender will be behind the bar in costume singing the Monster Mash and there will be prizes for best costume. Redd is a local Hwy. 30A singer who is a lot of fun to hear if you have never heard her before. I have enjoyed Redd on more than one occassion and she has a new CD out now that is terrific. Hope you can come. Of course if you do, I won't recognize you and vice versa, ha.
