Beach Therapy 30a
You are probably wondering what is beach therapy. Beach Therapy is when you feel the sun on your face and the sand in your toes. Its a feeling- a feeling of being relaxed and not worrying about what day it is or what time it is. In 2017 we thought about living at the beach. So we looked at a beautiful place in Florida’s panhandle called 30A. I was so impressed during our visit to the 30A area. I had been following them on Facebook for a year and found one video after another that provoked me into thinking “I could really enjoy that”.
My husband and I went to the 30A area to see if this would be a nice place to retire to. We found that this was a great place overall. Very active full of life and people. Not the hob nobby type either but real people. Then as we looked more and more over our week long visit we decided to take a leap- a big leap. We were going to build a house.Beachtherapy30a was born. It is still under design from the architect, the concept is real. We are building a 4 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home that will house 2 master bedrooms, lots of porches for outdoor seating, a third floor tower room with outside seating and a view of the Gulf. We talked about having a carriage house- would we have enough space? But we have plenty of space so then the carriage room is happening too. Why the carriage house you may ask? Well we will be renting out the main home until retirement time in 5 years and after reading so many VRBO reviews one common complaint seemed to be the lack of communication with the homeowner.
During the main season I will be staying in the carriage house to be available to guests that are staying in the main house.I would also like to be a pet friendly rental. The need for this in the 30A area seems to be there. My yard will be fenced so you can have the ease of sitting outside on one of the porches and having your dog walk around freely in the yard.The building has not started yet but we will be family friendly as well. I will have bikes available and beach toys. I will have a beach wagon available for you to bring your stuff down to the beach.This is a new venture for us and we will learn as we grow. We welcome any input that you may have.
Thank you all!!
