The perfect slice. Cooked to perfection. Savoring every bite. Plain. Pepperoni. Meat lovers. Veggie. Chicago style. New York style. How do you describe pizza and what is your favorite topping? Who has the perfect pizza in the Jacksonville area? I have a feeling if you ask ten people, you will get 10 different responses. Although I don’t necessarily have a favorite restaurant, I do have my favorite type at each of the places mentioned. Pizza, for my family, is an easy Friday meal that we always enjoy.

We struggled when we first moved to Ponte Vedra Beach because finding the perfect slice at a variety of places wasn’t exactly easy. And the amazing thing about the places below is the fact that most of these places have locations at…

Sushi lovers gather around, there’s new beachside dining restaurant in Jacksonville Beach. O-Ku Jacksonville Beach opened in mid-February 2022 just in time for THE PLAYERS Championship. O-Ku is located in Jacksonville Beach directly across from the pier at 502 1st St N, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250. I’m a bit of a sushi snob and quite particular about my sushi experience and O-Ku did NOT disappoint. It hit all the thumbs up buttons on my menu.

ATMOSPHERE

The atmosphere in O-Ku is very upscale. It’s not your everyday, run-of-the-mill, sushi stop. It touches on elegance with a coastal vibe and splash of candle-lit ambiance at every table. The simple yet elegant table settings in all white enhanced the coastal vibe. What better…

One of the great things about living at the beaches, whether it's Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra Beach, Atlantic Beach or Neptune is the culture and community spirit! There's something just incredibly fulfilling that you won't find anywhere else. If you've been around the beach long enough you've no doubt come across a cute and colorful art creation in a palm tree, landscape area or roadside median, smiled and thought to yourself "That is so cute! I wonder who put that there." The important part to its creator was the smile because as you will soon find out, for him, that's really what it's all about. There's actually no telling where you will see one of these randomly placed critters either. When I first moved to Atlantic Beach last year, I was on a…

The Chase Bank building in Ponte Vedra Beach was once home to our Keller Williams Luxury International office at 190 A1A North where recently solar panels were installed on the roof. The same week a customer asked us about the new Tesla roof (which I never heard of) and suggestions for solar panel company. Later that week as chance would have it, I met a lovely couple, Josh and Siobhan, who own a solar panel company. With all these solar panel coincidences I felt like solar energy had to be a hot topic and I was curious. I chatted with Josh Moore and Siobhan Christman of Masterpiece Solar for quite a while and connected to go over some frequently asked questions on solar energy that even I was curious about and maybe you are too!

Are you trying to decide what to do with inherited or gifted real estate? The financial and emotional decisions on what to do with the property can be overwhelming. It is important to understand some of the jargon used in these types of situations. For example, what does “cost basis” mean?

Did you know homeowners should anticipate an annual expense of up to 4% of their homes value for annual maintenance expense? Unfortunately, with the current state of the market, many homeowners are left with little or no savings in the bank after their purchase. Experts average that 7 out of 10 homes will experience a "major system or appliance failure" within a year of purchase. This means refrigerator, water heater or HVAC systems will need servicing and/or replacement and that could be very expensive if not detrimental to a new owner. That is exactly why a home warranty is a great purchase in order to offset some of the cost for homeowners. To help explain any misconceptions of what a home warranty really is, how it works and what it…

Hurricane Matthew and Hurricane Irma were the first two hurricanes to hit the Jacksonville area with any consequence in many years. With them came an increased awareness of our changing coastlines. Areas like Jacksonville Beach and St Augustine have had plans in place for renourishment over the years, but Ponte Vedra Beach did not.

I met recently with Lori Moffett and Beth Angelo, two Ponte Vedra Beach residents involved in bringing the issues surrounding our beaches to the forefront of our government officials minds, to learn more about the restoration projects queued up.

The reconstruction of our beach has three potential phases with different requirements needed from the community, said Moffett, founding member of Friends of…
