Florida Beaches to Visit this Labor Day

Florida Beaches to Visit this Labor Day

Labor Day in Florida is a holiday commemorated by barbecues, fireworks, parades, and picnics as a sign of the end of summer. This is the perfect time to arrange a last-minute summer Florida beach trip to soak sunshine before fall arrives! You may call Florida home, but do you know where to head to? Consider the following fun-filled Florida beach destinations:

 

St. Augustine

The beaches in St. Augustine, Florida provide a diverse range of experiences, from beautiful State Parks to public beaches just a block or two from local eateries. You may enjoy spending the day at the exquisite Anastasia State Park, where vehicles are not permitted on the beach. However, if you find yourself yearning to cruise through the sand in your car, you may travel a little farther south to St. Augustine Beach, where automobiles are permitted in specified locations. Make sure to work up an apatite and take advantage of one of the many terrific local pubs and restaurants along A1A, or “Beachfront Avenue.”

 

St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg Beach, a barrier island in Florida, provides a variety of things to do for adventurers, including kayaking, windsurfing and tour groups.   The sparkling crystal blue waters are fantastic for swimming, fishing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and many other water sports, making it an excellent option for people seeking a more active getaway.

 

While there are major recognized restaurants in the area, diners will be pleased to find that the local independently owned restaurants offer an abundance of flavorful options during to your stay at the beach. The city streets are lined with unrivaled breakfast places, excellent steakhouses, and, of course, award-winning seafood options.

 

Destin

Between Fort Walton Beach and Santa Rosa Beach sits Destin, a Florida beach resort. Destin, which is continuously named among the greatest beaches in the country, is a popular vacation destination among Florida locals and more. Destin is notable for its beautiful sand beaches and warm Gulf seas. If you decide on making Destin your Labor Day holiday spot, some popular must-sees are Gulf Island National Seashore, Big Kahuna’s Water Park, and Henderson Beach State Park.

 

Panama City Beach

Panama City Beach, known as “Florida’s Forgotten Coast,” is a popular destination located in the Panhandle which is less crowded than other Florida beaches further south. There you can take in 27 miles of gorgeous white quartz sand Gulf beaches, which are fantastic for your Labor Day weekend escape. Kick off the festivities by putting on some cowboy boots and belt out Dixie songs at the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam. Seeking something more tranquil?  Catch a sunset boat tour of the region, board a water shuttle to nearby Shell Island, or visit St. Andrews State Park to admire wildlife in their natural environment.

 

Amelia Island

When it comes to planning your day at the beach, Amelia Island has a great deal to offer including over 13 miles of beaches! Although many visitors opt to remain at the beach nearest to where they are lodging, it is encouraged to explore the many beach options Amelia Island has to experience.

 

Beaches are accessible from over 40 public access sites as well as a number of seaside parks. Many of the island’s most notable beaches are all accessible from established parks with facilities including restrooms and showers.

 

Florida Keys

The Florida Keys are known for their plethora of outdoor activities, and enthusiasts will enjoy the world-class fishing, diving, and snorkeling. The whole family may enjoy John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the first underwater park in the United States and home to the country’s only living coral reef, where you will be able to witness a diversity of undersea marine life in crystal clear waters.

 

Pensacola

Pensacola, the Gulf Coast’s hub, is known for its emerald-green waters and sugar-white sands. After taking in the views from one of the greatest beaches in the country, you must consume some of the tastiest seafood the state has to offer or simply just relax at an oceanfront hotel. Spend this Labor Day weekend listening to smooth sounds at the Community Maritime Park’s Gulf Coast Summer Fest: Jazz Edition or gaze into the night sky on the beach with telescopes provided by the Escambia Amateur Astronomers Association for a great night out under the stars.

 

Sarasota

Sarasota is known for its sun, sand, and pristine ocean views, but not all Sarasota beaches are created equal. Sarasota’s wide coastline is dotted with six islands, each with its own unique charm, recreational opportunities and scenic beauty. This vacation spot is perfect for nature-loving families! Children may participate in sand dollar hunting on Siesta Beach, take a kayak tour of South Lido Nature Park, or marvel at the distinctive Florida wildlife at Myakka River State Park.

 

 

Regardless whether you decide to venture to a Florida beach or simply relax at home, we hope you have a splendid Labor Day holiday weekend this year!

10 Tips for a Winning Offer

10 Tips for a Winning Offer

10 Tips for a Winning Offer

With housing inventory being at an all-time low there is a great deal of competition when it comes to buying a home. So how do you as a buyer make your offer stand out – well here are ten things to consider to increase the chances of your offer being accepted:

 

First, Make Your Home Search a Priority

This may sound a little strange but in this sellers market you must be proactive. Ask your Realtor to establish an automatic property search that notifies you when a home meeting your criteria is listed –  and then respond to them quickly.

 

Be Flexible With the Closing Date

Some sellers may be wanting to close quickly, however, some may need some extra time for relocation purposes or having a new home built. Being accommodating to the seller’s schedule may help in closing the deal.

 

Present a Clean Offer

The fewer contingencies the better – if you can avoid making an offer with financial constraints or seller concessions great but before removing any financing contingencies make sure you fully understand the implications.

 

Shorten the Length of Your Inspection Period

The shorter the timeframe for an inspection period, the better for the seller of the home. Some buyers are deciding to waive the inspection period completely but again speak with your Realtor before making that decision.

 

Offer Above-Asking Price on the Home

If you want to secure a home in today’s hot seller’s market, you may have to craft your offer above-asking price. Consider homes that have sold recently and equally important homes that are under contract and likely to close in the near future – your Realtor should be able to provide this information.

 

Put Down a Larger Earnest Money Deposit (EMD)

It will show the seller you are a well-qualified, good-faith buyer serious about purchasing their home.

 

Make a Greater Down Payment

Similar to the Earnest Money Deposit, putting down a larger down-payment than required shows the seller that you are in a good financial position and are serious about going through with the purchase.

 

Include an Escalation Clause in Your Offer

When you add an escalation clause to your offer, you are giving a maximum price up to which you will outbid other offers. Although you may not be the only one adding an escalation clause, it will give you an advantage over buyers without one.

 

Pay in Cash

If you are able to make a cash offer do it. Deals subject to financing contingencies are often at the mercy of the lender’s process so a cash offer is preferred especially if competing against other financed offers.

 

Now these are all great tips but remember every market is different and the details for every transaction are different.

 

Most importantly: Work with an Experienced Realtor

Our Realtors have been in this business for over 30 years here in Central Florida they are a fantastic resource.

 

Contact us today and let us guide you safely through the process and we wish you the best of luck finding the perfect home.
