One of the hazards of living in Florida are the throngs of long lost friends and relatives who want to “visit." Needless to say, my winter guest list has accelerated since I moved to Ponce Inlet.
The first question most people ask when they find I’ve moved to Ponce Inlet is, “Can you see the Lighthouse?”
PONCE INLET -- Anytime I move into a new home, I know to expect the unexpected. That said, despite home inspections, something is bound to go wrong the day I move in. Within the first week, the refrigerator went on the blink and the air conditioner compressor was not far behind.
When I moved to Volusia County roughly 16 years ago, I was surprised and amazed to find a Laurel tree, also dubbed a Bay tree, in my backyard.
I like to describe Ponce Inlet as a gated community without the gate. Yes, there are restrictions but the upside is that it provides a better quality of life for residents.
I live in Ponce Inlet at the end of a street that backs up to a greenway. My new neighbors tell me that I will see wildlife here like I have never seen it before. It’s been two weeks and so far, nothing.
