In Florida we have WDO inspections along with regular home inspections. The Question: Jeff, You suggested we do a home inspection as well as a WDO inspection. Can you remind me what the WDO inspection is. Thanks, John and Mary My Answer: Hi John and Mary, In Florida we strongly recommend all our buyers get a WDO (Wood Destroying Organism) inspection. It will inspect for termites and other bugs that eat wood...as well as organism that might hurt wood structures in the home. Based on our high level of humidity and warm temperatures (that do not kill off the bugs in Winter) this inspection is a must.   Jeffrey

 I was showing a beautiful Oceanfront house in Melbourne Beach, FL. I peeked out the window in the Master Bedroom and felt the need to take a quick shot of this Rainbow. The Sun was just beginning to come out from behind the clouds and it made for a great shot. My clients stood and watched for about 10 minutes...oceanfront living can have it's challenges...but it can also give you an amazing peek into nature right from your own bedroom window :) It just made my day!

  How Many Lagoons Make Up The Indian River Lagoon?   Did you know that the Indian River lagoon on The Atlantic coast of Florida is really a group of three lagoons? Yes that’s true. Together the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River and Indian River make up the Indian River Lagoon. The Indian River Lagoon or estuary is separated from the Atlantic coast by the barrier islands. The Indian River Lagoon is 156 miles long, it extends from Ponce De Leon Inlet in Volusia County, to the southern border of Martin county. The Indian River Lagoon is connected to the ocean by a few ocean inlets and this allows the saltwater to mix with the fresh water which comes from runoff from the surrounding land as well as from the rainfall. Any changes in the amount of freshwater, or pollutants or sudden changes in t...

Why Living in Harbor East of Melbourne Beach is So…ooo Special! Melbourne Beach is an Oceanside town of about 3300 residents. Ocean Ave is about less than a mile and ends into the Indian river at one end and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. Melbourne Beach Pier is a great place for fishing and just relaxing. Nearby is the Ryckman Park perfect for a family picnic or a game of tennis on the adjacent tennis courts. In the summer months Melbourne Beach hosts movie nights in the park for its residents. Town Hall, Police and Fire Departments as well as the post office are also on Ocean Ave. A short walk down the road towards the Ocean, and you are near the library and a community supermarket and bank. Melbourne Beach Library hosts many events for children and adults. The Ocean Park by the bea...

Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is poisonous, let it go. Fear is paralyzing, face it. Memories are priceless, cherish them! This sunset picture was taken in South Melbourne Beach overlooking the Indian River Lagoon.

OK...so I get that the Melbourne Beach Market is not really a restaurant...in fact the only tables here are out in front of the Market. It is actually a grocery store, wine store (you will sometimes find some amazing buys on closeout wines), bakery, specialty food, deli, bakery and wonderful Italian restaurant. The Italian Restaurant part is in the front past the wine and beer area...next to the deli and bakery. It is a take out counter with a full Italian menu suitable for lunch or dinner. You can also call ahead and it will be ready for pick up when you get there. They also serve pizza by the slice or pie, The Deli/bakery section is a really great quick lunch spot and uses top quality meats (like Boars Head) along with some nice great special like Gyros and Falafel. They also have a ...

It is my personal opinion that everyone on this planet should give back in SOME WAY.  Just find something that touches you personally and go for it. For me, that "thing" is animals.  It is alarming to me how profoundly we as humans negatively affect so many other species living on this planet that we ALL call home.  I am convinced from my work in rescue that animals most definately have feelings and souls.  Since coming to Florida, I decided to get involved in a cause that would not allow me to bring animals home (like I did with dogs).  The Sea Turtle Preservation Society is committed to the Preservation of the sea turtles of all kinds, but specifically the three Species types that nest on Brevard County Beaches.  We do this in a number of ways, but education is a huge part of what we ...

I prefer red to white wine and absolutely love the old and ancient vine Zinfandels specifically from the Lodi Appellation of California.  Ancient vines are those that are older than 80 years of age.  As the vines age, they produce a smaller number of grapes, BUT, the quality of those grapes is intensly fruity and superior.  Cline Cellars produces an absolutely lovely bottle of Ancient Vine Zinfandel in the $15 per bottle price range. The Wine Spector gives Cline Ancient Vine Zinfandel 87 points.  The winemaker notes state: "Cline Ancient Vines Zinfandel shows wonderful, fat strawberry, with coffee and chocolate characters. Aging in new and used wood has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes. Ripe fruit and soft tannins make this mouth ...

We are smack in the middle of the nesting season for the Loggerhead and Green Sea Turtles.  The Sea Turtle Preservation Society in Brevard County Florida currently conducts guided tours of nesting Loggerhead sea turtles 4-5 nights a week.                                                                                                 Our precious sea turtles are threatened and endangered due to human interaction.  Come and learn how you can be part of the solution!  Call the Sea Turtle Preservation Society at 321-676-1701 to sign up for an informative powerpoint presentation on Loggerhead, Green and Leatherback Turtles.  Afterwhich hopefully (if the turtles cooperate) you will be able to see a mama Loggerhead Turtle drop her eggs into her nesting chamber.  Then she will carefully cover u...
