Monday, May 28th, 2007

Imagine owning your own coastal villa.

From your own space, you could take in gorgeous views of the ocean – relaxing as you watch sunlight dancing on the waves and listening to waves crash as the tide rolls in. You could watch and listen from inside your home, or spend time on your own private balcony.

You would have plenty of space – 2200 square feet or more. You’d be able to have the convenience of association membership: your outdoor space would be well-maintained for you, as would the exterior of your home.

Your home would provide you with state of the art wiring to create your own entertainment experience. Gourmet kitchens and plenty of space allow you to entertain in style.

And, for those times when you’re entertaining, you’ll also be able to have ready access to boating activities, shopping and the rich experience of exploring historic St. Augustine.

 

What Features Would You Include in a Florida Oceanfront Home?

Sunday, May 27th, 2007

When building Florida oceanfront homes it’s important to consider which features to include.

Obviously, direct beach access will be important to those who want to own oceanfront property – whether for a full time residence or as a vacation home. Landscaping, architectural style, climate control, hurricane safe windows, wiring for security systems and entertainment are also important considerations.

However, in designing The Cottages at Ponce Inlet other factors were taken into consideration as well. The factors are demonstrated by:

  • the floor plans of these oceanfront homes,
  • the features of the Grand Room of each home,
  • the features of the kitchen areas of each cottage,
  • the features of the owners suite or each residence,
  • the features of the media room, as well as
  • the interior design and exterior landscaping of the development.

However, because different individuals are looking for different things, there are still choices to be made. Those who purchase a Florida oceanfront home in this development will be able to choose the floor plan and interior finish that best suits their needs.
