Any news that is news!

Hope all is well in our little beach world!

Has anyone else encountered the crazy crane that visits our backyard at Windward East? This beautiful bird comes in for a landing in the grassy area and walks around giving the eye to anyone who happens to be outside. Now I am not a timid person but when he walks right up to you and looks you in the eye at least I think he is looking you in the eye since his eyes are on the side it totally freaks me out so I usually run inside like a little girl.

New activity

Two new listings in the Diplomat. Direct ocean 2/2 900 sq ft priced at $375,000 this is on the top floor so it may get offers but the competition is fierce. Front building 2/1 750 sq ft priced at $162,000 on the 2nd floor. The front buldings are priced all over the place.

Reduced price

there is a home on Esther that is now priced at $599,900. This home sold in 2005 for $400,000, it was then taken down and rebuilt. It is now a beautiful 2 story home with 3250 sq ft 5 bedrooms 3 1/2 baths with dock and all the bells and whistles. The downside is the street is year's away from catching up to this home. If however one wanted this for their home and not instant gratification then you could enjoy this beautiful waterfornt home and wait for the equilty to build.

Hang in there and don't take any wooden nickels.
