Another Successfule Sale in WaterColor

30A real estate sales are going strong. The good news? We are happy to announce that our listing at 127 Blackwater Street, has sold for $3,235.00. We were pleased to represent the Seller for this 5 bedroom, 7 bath home in WaterColor, complete with carriage house and private pool.

The bad news, for buyers, is one more fantastic luxury home is now off the market.

This home was in Phase III Watercolor, on Western Lake just opposite the WaterColor boat house.

Luxury Living at The Georgetown

We may be a little biased, but we can assure you that the 30A region in Florida’s Gulf Coast is one the most idyllic you’ll find. Rosemary Beach, in particular, is a charming, small town community with all of the perks of a luxury resort.  While everyone else heads to the overdone, crowded beaches further east, you’ll be enjoying your book on the spacious balcony or enjoying a peaceful family swim on the beach.

The last and newest building in Rosemary Beach’s North Barrett Square, The Georgetown sits head and shoulders above its neighbors with it’s French Quarter vibe, featuring three bedroom/three bath units from 2,126 to 2,482 square feet. Perhaps the signature detail is the multiple balconies that take advantage of the aromatic salt water scent as…

Case Study: Exploring Scenic 30A Gulf-Front Home Options

Case Study: 43 St. Lucia Lane, The Retreat | The Best Beach is Your Beach

When you imagine your dream home at the beach, you may be able to describe the kind of interior and exterior features you like — but can you see the beach itself?

Or is your perfect piece of shoreline in a rental-restricted community where there are fewer new faces?

 This is the question I posed to a lovely couple from Memphis last year. They contacted me through my RetreatFlordida.com website and were interested in learning more about this unique community on 30A. They’d explored real estate on 30A in the past…
