I have been spending the weekend in what must be one of the most photogenic communities in the country: Seaside Beach, Florida. Through careful planning and attention to detail the Davis family has been able to create a low density planned neighborhood that is a welcome change from the highrise monstrosities visible on so much of Florida's coastline. Due in part to the carefully written deed restrictions, the homes are interesting attractive and unique. Each home must have a front porch but each home must also be different from all the others in the area. Many are festooned with copulas, towers and widow's walks. All are in the style of the old Florida cracker homes with numerous significant upgrades.
I don't begrudge those who love the condo lifestyle, but this would certainly be my preference. I am, apparently not alone in this preference. The locals refer to themselves as "Lucky Dogs" with the thought that live in this kind of setting certainly shows signs of fortunes favor.
