La Playa East Condo is an oceanfront Satellite Beach building that offers a high degree of amenities as well as amazing views from every Condo...either ocean views, sunset views...or both!
The amenities include: ocean/beach walk out, pool with sun deck, bbq area, clubhouse with workout equipment, a full kitchen, bathrooms, party room...and much more. The units include individual garage parking as well as an ample supply of additional parking.
La Playa East has both one bedroom one bath and two bedroom two bath condo options...the one bedrooms are 663 sqft and the two bedrooms are 1305 sqft. The prices start in the low 100's for a low floor one bedroom to the 300k range for a high floor two bedroom. Based on the age of the building (built in 1973) each condo will have a very different level of upgrade (some have been 100% remodeled while other units will look like a 1973 time warp).
La Playa East is located in Satellite Beach just over two miles south of the Pineda Causeway and a little over two miles north of Eau Gallie Blvd on A1A...Oceanfront!
Florida has the largest Cuban population in the U.S. The Miami and Tampa areas are rich with Cuban heritage, culture and restaurants...on the Space Coast we have yet to have a large Cuban influx...but thankfully we have a few really good Cuban restaurants and El Ambia Cubano is one of the best!
El Ambia Cubano is a small restaurant built in an old Historic Melbourne home that overlooks a river and park. The restaurant has tables inside as well as a sizable outdoor porch and some stools up at the counter facing the kitchen. Although the parking lot for the restaurant is small...you can always find parking in the near by City parking lot. The issue you may have here is the food is so good and authentic you may find yourself waiting on a long line to enjoy the wonderful Cuban options offered at great prices.
On a recent visit for lunch I decided on a Cuban sandwich, sweet plantains (maduros), and a cup of Cafe Con Leche (strong Cuban coffee with steamed milk...yum)...the entire lunch cost me $9.50 plus tax and tip...an amazing value for what felt like a 45 minute trip to Cuba circa 1960!. The Cuban sandwich rivals those I have eaten (many times) in Miami...the roasted pork is amazing...and I need to know what they do to those pickles). If you have room left for desert try the Flan...it is the best available north of South Florida!
There are always great specials offered (your server will tell you which are available each day)...fyi...they are $7.50 on the day they are offered...and $10 on off days. They also offer music on the patio many nights...so check the schedule (I will include a link to the website below). They have beer, wine and sangria (red or white) available. The sangria is sold by the glass or pitcher...my suggestion...order a pitcher ($15) with your dinner it is really...really good.
El Ambia Cubano is located at 950 E. Melbourne Ave in Historic Downtown Melbourne...they are across the street from Crane Creek (the best place to see the Manatees in season)! If you are coming for lunch try to arrive no later then noon...so you can get a table out on the patio...this way you can enjoy the sun and great food.
Here is a link to their website:
Along the south side of the Melbourne Causeway as the bridge begins to head to the beach and Indialantic...a small park exists that is one of my absolute favorite spots in the Harbor City. The park is called Kiwanis Park at Geiger Point...and it is a perfect place to have a picnic, begin your run over the bridge and back...or just view the beautiful picturesque setting from this cool little park that seems to jut out into the middle of the Indian River.
This park has very limited amenities that include parking, a 1/4 mile walkway, benches, a pavilion, BBQ area, fishing and taking some beautiful pictures. Many local runners and walkers use Kiwanis Park as a starting point for their run to the beach...or just over the bridge and back (challenging because of the steep incline and decline of the causeway bridge). If you like to fish off land or a pier...this is one of the better spots in the area...you can stand under the bridge and fish...so the rain or strong Sun will not force you to pack up your tackle box for the day!
Here are some pictures of the park and the great views:
Seems to be a big debate going around in these times of shrinking local budgets and big cuts...should post offices and libraries still exist...or at least exist in their present forms.
With the advent of large book stores...followed by online giants (like Amazon) to technology advances (like nook) the need for a large housing of "free" books has become a thing of great debate.
A few years back libraries began adding movies and music to their holdings...in essence to become more relevant...now you might argue that having movies "for free" at the library has led to the shutting down of businesses (like Blockbuster) and cost private sector jobs...while this may be correct...I want you to think about a great deal that those of us who live in Brevard County fund...free movie checkout!
Since we have paid for these movies with taxpayer dollars you may not consider them free...but guess what...every time I go to the library and check out a movie (you get the movie and must return it within two days without penalty) all I need is my library card!
They get the movies fairly quickly...not as fast as Redbox...but fast...and they have an enormous selection. The condition of the movies are usually pretty good (kids movies can be a bit of an issue)...and you can take out a few movies at the same time for family movie night.
We have library locations throughout the County...below I have posted a link to the library system...click in and head down...if you do not already have a card sign up...it only takes a couple of minutes!

Sandbar Pizza Grill is an interesting restaurant worth a mention for those in the area...but First it is located in Melbourne Beach, FL on Ocean Ave (300 Ocean Ave in Melbourne Beach, 32951 for those with a GPS).It is the road that jogs (left) off Highway A1A.
Why is it interesting...or at least unusual...it is the only Pizza Restaurant I know of that is known for its Fish Tacos (yes...I know...a Mexican dish) instead of pizza! This is not to say the pizza is bad...it is just fine and quite a few of the tables will be filled with folks chowing on the pie...but the draw is defiantly the tasty fish tacos.
They offer three styles...Baja, blackened or grilled. Here is the deal...on Tuesdays they are $2 per taco...and two of them will fill you up! The rest of the menu is just fine as well...and they have a sister restaurant in Cocoa Beach called Sandbar that offers live music.

Real Estate Service for Indian Harbour Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, Satellite Beach. Do you need the best available service? Attention to detail? Area knowledge? You've come to the right Place

This extensive selling experience helps me get my clients the best price and terms available on the home they choose to buy or sell. This experience also helps assure my clients that mistakes that can cost them time and money will be avoided at all costs. when it comes to real estate there is not substitute for experience.

I am a full service agent and I think many people do not know the difference between the different types of agency options they have. Here is a breakdown:
FSBO - For sale buy owner with no entry into MLS. The MLS input changes this from being a true FSBO because only one side will likely have representation of an expert (a true FSBO should have no expert representation) and implies that the buyer or seller can save the commission when in fact it is being paid.
Entry Only - This is really what some buy owner companies claim to be...they put it in the MLS, put on a lox box, put out a sign, and help open title when and if the time comes.
Limited Service Brokers - This is a little tricky and this is the place most clients have problems. I suggest these minimum requirements.. MLS input, sign, lock box, negotiate offers, contracts, and repairs, some advertising like home books.
Full Service - Everything the limited service broker does plus (at no additional charge), full number of allowable pictures on local MLS, virtual/visual tour, open houses, broker open houses, brochures at the home as well as a flyer box (always full), a system to automatically update clients on what is going on, a minimum of a weekly update by phone or e-mail, an automatic system to gather feedback for the seller, video flyers, a personal website for each listing, full website input for listing through all available Internet sources (like craigslist, backpage, trulia, Zillow, etc...), blog input for each listing, Internet advertising, social networking, and a best in class representation for their clients.
I feel very strongly that those in the market to buy or sell a home a best served by an agent who represents them in a full service manor. If the agent you choose does not do at a minimum all the aspects of the business listed above (no matter where you are buying or selling) you should move on to an agent who commits to do everything they can to give you the best representation possible. If your agent does not work full time in the real estate industry they can not be available at anytime to either find you the best deal or put 100 percent of their effort into getting you the most for your existing home sale.
At Jeffrey DiMuria Real Estate I am expert in representing buyers or sellers with new construction or re-sale homes, lofts, and condos. As a member of Coldwell Banker Sun Land Realty, I have the backing or one of the largest relocation networks in the world. This not only allows me to use my expertise with relocation buyers, but also gives me a ready supply of these buyers for our seller's listings!!! I work the South Brevard Beach area including the surrounding neighborhoods. Give me a call so I can set up an area tour and show you the schools, shopping, medical facilities, and of course the great amenities Melbourne, Indialantic, Indian Harbour Beach, Satellite Beach, Melbourne Beach and Florida have to offer! I would be happy to do any area tour with you and show you local medical facilities, schools, shopping, large employers and restaurant options...all free of charge!
...Because our Award Winning school districts are such a draw for those moving to the South Brevard Beach area I have included a link for school research here: Schools This link is full of info about both public and private schools in area as well as all the surrounding areas. It will help you compare the schools in all surrounding areas so you can make sure this is the right choice for you and your family!
Thinking of moving to the South Brevard Beach, Indialantic, Indian Harbour Beach, Satellite Beach, Melbourne Beach area? Fill out the attached form in this link: relocation and I will send a full relocation package to you that will include information about area schools, homes, jobs and additional info about South Brevard and the surrounding areas.
You will also need to know if you qualify for a price range or particular home Here is a link to my Calculator ...My calculators will help you determine loan amounts, mortgage qualification, affordability or whether you should be renting or buying. I also have a list of qualified mortgage professionals to help you answer any questions about financing, mortgages or potential qualification issues. You will be asked to complete the specific fields and click Calculate Now. To view the results of each calculation, you will click on the various tabs. You can even email yourself a copy of the results by clicking the Receive this Detailed Analysis link.
I have also included here a Buyer's Toolkit and a Seller's Toolkit. I designed these to not only help you make a decision on if you should buy or sell...but also give you a detailed analysis of what you will need and who you will need to talk to throughout your buying or selling process.
I also have an ASP designation (accredited staging professional). This designation was designed to help me help my clients put the home they want to sell in the best possible light...so it can sell quickly with less stress! It also allows me to help my clients who are buying a home because I am able to help them with things like future furniture placement...and to show them ways to make a home they like work specifically for them.
Since I am one of the top technology agents in the U.S. I can employ my specific skills on the Internet and through blogs, websites and social media sites to help my clients achieve their real estate goals and dreams....whether they are buying their first home, last home, or trying to sell the home they are in so they can move on to the next phase of their lives.
Why should you choose an agent from a large firm with a national reputation like Coldwell Banker and Coldwell Banker Sun Land Realty?The answer is simple...Realtors and Brokers who choose to work for Coldwell Banker Sun Land Realty must adhere to a higher level of service required by a firm that chooses to be the best. From the International reach of our Relocation services to the ability to search local, National and International properties that are available for sale...you will quickly realize that agents who look to be the best look to firms like Coldwell Banker Sun Land Realty. In my opinion a full time full service brokerage that requires all the agents who work for their firm to maintain a high level of quality service gives potential buyers and sellers the best available representation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for any of your South Brevard Beach real estate needs!
I would love to represent you as my Client!!
Jeff paid attention to every aspect of our transaction. I was out of the country during most of the time and he worked very hard to make it seem like I had no reason to return, except to sign the papers. He is the best!
John M.
I would be happy to talk to any potential buyer or seller in the Denver area about Jeff DiMuria. We have sold many homes over the last 30 years or so, He is the best. Highly Recommended!
Harvey R.
We recently took a trip to Brevard with my company to see if we would accept a job in the _______________. Jeffrey DiMuria was assigned to show us the area (we considered the Indian Harbour Beach and Satellite Beach areas). He was amazing. Although we did not move to the area we would highly recommend Jeffrey, he was amazing. We contacted him a few months later when we decided to downsize and he offered to find us a real estate agent in our home town. He found us a great one. Thanks Jeffrey
Mark and Linda Brio
We cannot imagine any agent...that knows more about the area then Jeffrey. He was great! We feel like we have been here for years because of all the inside knowledge we now have. Thanks!
Stacy C.
I was searching the Internet for a home (when relocated to Florida) and I ran across Jeffrey DiMuria's website I filled out a form for a relocation package. He got back to me within minutes and helped us with our move in so many ways. He found us a moving company, a mortgage company, helped us get homeowners insurance, and is by far the best Realtor we have ever worked with (we are 73 an 75 years old so that is saying something). I am happy to give him my highest recommendation!
Ginny M (and Roger too!)
We have a large family (4 kids) and the ages are from 3 years old up to 15 years old. We drove because of our car seats and it seemed like we had to stop every few minutes. Jeff was so patient with us. He even watched our 3 year old while we viewed all the homes we needed to see (I think we looked at around 45 homes before we found the perfect one). Jeff pointed out issues with homes that had we had a lessor real estate agent we may not have caught. We feel strongly that had we not had Jeff as our agent we would own a different home and very likely made a very big mistake. Do yourselves a favor and give Jeff a call. We are very glad we did!
The Pierce Family
I had my home on the market two times before I listed it with Jeffrey DiMuria. Not only did my home not sell but I rarely even received a call that people were going to come and look at it. A friend told me about Jeff and that he had sold their home quickly, I think in just a few days. That was the best advice I have been given in quite some time. He came over and re-arranged my furniture, had me paint my dining room and gave me the name of a handyman to take down some ugly wallpaper I had in my hall bathroom. I knew I had the right agent when before the home even went live on the market he called me to ask if an agent from his office could show it. I was amazed that he had people looking at it before we even had it in our local MLS. Needless to say we sold in less then a month. Jeff is a great Realtor!
Linda H.
I was in the process of a divorce and needed help. I found Mr. DiMuria on the Internet and called him as well as three other agents. After meeting Jeffrey I knew he was the agent for me. He uses the Internet in an amazing way to sell houses. I loved the Virtual Tour he did on the home. I was very happy with the way he negotiated the sale and would highly recommend him to all those looking to sell their home. He also represented me on the purchase of the condo I now live in. He listened to me and found five or six homes that he felt fit what I asked for. He was spot on with his choices and we quickly chose a home and I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you Jeffrey!
Frank J.
I have had the pleasure of working with Jeff DiMuria since he arrived...and embarked on his Real Estate Career. Mr. DiMuria took the...Internet Real Estate Market by storm when he arrived in 2004. This business has grown year after year and as a result his team has grown. Jeff is the ultimate Internet marketing guru and his use of the Internet to market listings in combination with his staging recommendations and...gifted photography has garnered client's top dollar for their properties. He listens carefully to buyer client wants and needs and diligently researches the market to find the right home for his buyers saving them significant time and money. In addition Jeff is a skilled trainer and speaker. If you have an opportunity to work with Jeff DiMuria I suggest you take it."
Tracy B. PGG Realtors
Jeffrey did a training in our office on how to work with Realtors on the other side of a transaction who. He dealt specifically with difficult agents who seem to make the buy/sell process tough for all parties to the transaction. His insight and ability to get to the real issue is amazing. I can truly understand why he is such a successful Realtor...any buyer or seller would be lucky to have Jeffrey represent them.
Bob G. PGG Realtors
....as an investor I was really looking for the best deal. Jeffrey was really patient with me and showed me many homes. We put in quite a few offers but short sales seem to be a real nightmare these days. We finally found a home I liked and through his persistence we were able to get it (after 4 months!). I am not sure another Realtor would have stuck it out with us that long. He really went above and beyond the call. I will use him again and again.
Lisa S.
I bought a home with Jeffrey DiMuria in another State quite some time ago. When I had trouble selling it (I had listed the home with three agents for over 2 years) I looked Jeffrey up on the Internet and found him in Colorado. I sent Jeffrey pictures of my home inside and out. He researched the local area and found me a Realtor. He then worked with that Realtor to help stage my home (through the pictures I sent him!!!) and the Realtor did everything Jeffrey told him. The home sold in less then thirty days for almost full price. Jeffrey is the best there is!!!
Mark B.
I give my highest recommendation to Jeffrey. He helped me sell my home through a very tough divorce situation...and found my ex-wife and I both perfect homes, just far away enough, but also close enough for us to make the job of raising our kids as easy as possible. He is an incredible real estate agent.
Bill G.
I have worked along side Jeffrey DiMuria for quite some time now. I find him to be one of the top Realtors in the State of Florida. His follow up skills are absolutely amazing. His knowledge of the area is an incredible benefit to his clients. His skills in understanding what a home in his area should sell for helps both buyers and sellers in the Brevard County area. As a Realtor in the Downtown Denver market I refer all my clients who choose to live in Florida directly to Jeffrey...he is truly the expert in Brevard County.
Kerry K.
My wife and I feel very lucky to have found Jeffrey. We were working with another Realtor in the area who kept showing us older homes even thought we told him on more then one occasion that we were not interested. We did a search of the area and found Jeffrey. My wife called to ask about a home and when she hung up she said I want him to show us homes. Jeffrey only showed us homes that fit what we requested and we found the right home in three days. We will need to relocate back north in a couple of years. When we do we will sell with Jeffrey.
Kevin and Kim C.
I just wanted to thank Jeffrey for helping me find a home. We spent quite some time looking and we found three homes that were short sales. We had a very difficult time working with the banks. Jeffrey took control of the situation and did a great job. We are now in our new home. I am quite certain it would not have been possible without the expert advice we received.
