Homeowners Insurance tips on 30A

30a real estate

Need Homeowners Insurance for your 30a Home?

I have just finished attending a meeting called by one of the top insurance carriers here on the beach reviewing homeowner’s insurance issues as we end this year and look forward to 2014. Here are a few things to ALWAYS remember about your homeowners coverage here on 30A:

Our area is on what all insurance carriers consider a barrier island.  As agents here at Homes On 30A, we ALWAYS recommend to our clients that property owners purchase flood insurance whether it is required or not. Here is the proper HURRICANE INSURANCE EQUATION as preached by our insurance experts…

HOMEOWNERS + WIND + FLOOD = HURRICANE INSURANCE

The primary flood zone classifications found here along 30A are…

A ZONE – found in lower lying areas and near creeks and lakes.

V ZONES  – beach front homes or close proximity to beach front. Lenders will require flood insurance for both A and V zone classifications.

X ZONE – low to moderate risk of flooding .2% chance. Coverage is not required in the X zone class but, as stated above, we strongly recommend that you purchase it anyway. Always remember that you do NOT have a truly comprehensive insurance coverage package without flood insurance, regardless of your flood zone classification.

Homeowners insurance is a critical part of the buying process in any part of the country but especially important here at the beach. A Homes On 30A agent will answer any questions you may have and, more importantly, refer to one of our expert insurance agents to answer questions as well.

Seagrove Beach, Florida

Seagrove Beach Restaurant

Get to Know Seagrove Beach, Fl

Given the tremendous growth and change that the entire Highway 30A corridor has undergone over the past 20 years, Seagrove Beach, Florida has become one of the most interesting areas along Highway 30A.

Seagrove Beach was named for the thick stands of windswept live oaks and the canopy and ground cover of magnolias, hickory and sand pine thickets that are indigenous to this particular stretch of beach front property. Seagrove Beach is one of the first areas that became a destination for people who began coming here after World War II in the late 40’s and early 50’s. Old timers here have told stories of this area being nothing but “scrub land and wild hogs”. You could buy an acre for 5 dollars and nobody ever thought it would ever amount to much.  For years, the only way to get in was a footpath that came in from Point Washington.

The Seagrove Village Market was established in 1949 and remains today as an almost iconic landmark reminiscent of days gone by. The Flowers family owned and operated the Seagrove Motel and Cottages for many years before selling the property to developers. Now standing on this property is restaurant Whiskey Bravo, Cowgirl Kitchen and some local shops with new, gulf front multi million dollar beach homes being built across the street.  Seagrove Beach has become quite congested these days, especially during the summer months due to its central location directly east of Seaside and close to Watercolor. The next time you are driving through the Seagrove Beach area on your way toward Watersound or Rosemary Beach heading east, or Seaside, Grayton Beach heading west, slow down and take a look around. Seagrove Beach is still full of “old Florida”  style beach homes and cottages that were built in the 50’s and 60’s mixed in with upscale second home and vacation rentals that stay full for a good 8 months of our “season”. There is an eclectic mix of the old and new to be found here with an array of beach shops and restaurants scattered along this beautiful part of 30A.

Blue Mountain Beach Fl New Housing

Blue Mountain Beach Homes for SaleLearn about the New Homes in Blue Mountain Beach Fl

Blue Mt. Beach is one of Highway 30A’s secrets, given the explosion of development down the beach on the eastern end of highway 30A over the last 15 years. Blue Mt. Beach is typical of the older, more established coastal communities located on the west end of 30A with a mix of upscale condominiums, 60’s style beach rentals and a good mix of restaurants, art galleries and retail shops.

What a lot of people find surprising is the new development that is taking place in Blue Mt. Beach. here is a quick look at what’s going on…

Draper Lake Coastal Village…single family homes and lots, very private, wooded neighborhood, community pool, walking trails, boat houses, fishing dock, “mountain lodge” style architecture, access to beautiful Draper Lake, managed by Rosemary Beach, gated community.

Forest Lakes Subdivision….directly across highway 30A  from Draper Lake on the north side. Quality “cottage style” homes and lots available for purchase, community pool with clubhouse, privacy within 2 minutes of the beach and the restaurants and shops at Gulf Place.

The Village at Blue Mt. Beach….this is a more established community with lots and new construction opportunities still available. A mix of single family homes and condominiums both rental and full time, large community pool, cabana, fitness center, shuffleboard courts, gated security, quick walk or bike ride to beach

Highland Parks… located between Village of Blue Mt and Draper Lake, this neighborhood has experienced a new burst of activity.  Huge community swimming pool with outdoor grills and picnic area, newly landscaped, lot/build construction opportunities
