Delray Beach, Florida, is also known as The Village by The Sea. This town is a destination for many. Some go on vacation, others make it their home during the cold northeast winters. It is so easy to get to; 2 airports are within 30 minutes from Delray. Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach International.
When you arrive in Delray Beach, you will see the big Pineapple at the entrance of town….it welcomes Visitors to this Village by the Sea.
What I love the most about Delray is the beach. It is so unobstructed and the water is so clear. You park yourselves on that beach and just relax…
Coralina Village is a complex of a dozen townhouses. It is located a few blocks south from the famous Atlantic Avenue, where all the restaurants, shops, art galleries, and bars are located. You can look and look, but I can tell you that you will not find another complex in Delray with this type of location. Mediterranean style, by the beach, and it does have its own private pool. The southern exposure makes this unit light and airy, with no buildings obstructing its backyard.
 
For Sale: 1024 Coralina, Delray Beach, Florida, 33483. This property is listed with Kelley Lake Johnson of Tauriello & Co., located in the heart of Delray Beach. Her tel. is 561-703-3839. To see the photos and virtual tour, please visit http://www.tauriello.com/new_listings.php. It is a turn-key unit. All furniture is included….even the spices. All you need is your toothbrush and a few personal items.
Living, dining, kitchen, den and 1/2 bath are all on the first floor.
1024 Coralina is unique, because even though all townhouses have 2 car garages, this one only has 1 1/2 garages, due to the fact that the owners made an office out of half of the garage for additional space inside.
Upstairs the laundry room, master bedroom (and bathroom) with tongue and groove ceiling, and 2 guests bedrooms sharing a bathroom.
Each bedroom has its own balcony, as well.
A patio and yard in the back is the perfect spot early in the morning, early in the evening or eating al fresco. And, during March, the gardenia bush is gorgeous.
Since the beach is only a block away, it is the ideal setting for an early walk or jog. You can exercise and walk all morning long, right by the beach on A1A.
It has been said that the mark of a Great real estate agent isn’t how Many houses he or she shows you, it’s how Few!! The realtor who will find the right house for you is the agent who will listen to you…what you need, and what you would want to spend. He or she will also know what you’ve got your heart set on and what will, actually, make you crazy….so, what did you say you were looking for?
Talk to you later…

The partners in The Flying Fish had only opened the restaurant 2 weeks ago when Shelley and I stepped into Fenwick Island’s newest dining adventure.
 
The location? The Village of Fenwick, 300 Coastal Highway, Unit #7. Tel. 302-581-0217. The website will be up soon. Dinner is served every night from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m. Lunch is served on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from Noon until 3 p.m. Carry-out is available.
This spot at The Village has been transformed into a very neat restaurant, where customers chat with each other at ease.
So, here we were, Shelley and I ready to eat sushi, except Shelley does not eat sushi; she really does not eat anyhting raw…if you are like her, do not despair. Before you even go inside the restaurant, the menu is outside. Check it out.
A House Salad of organic field greens with cucumber, yellow pepper, radish, tomato, and carrot. It was finished with Lisa’s (partner) homemade miso honey sesame dressing and their wasabi croutons.
Then, Shelley ordered the Filet of Beef Negimaki….thin sliced beef wrapped around fresh spring onions and marinated in their homemade ginger hoisin sauce and flashed seared.
And, this is what I had, which by the way was their recommendation. Great choice!!
The Bangkok Dangerous – Flash fried tuna and salmon roll topped with a unique muddled pepper blend, lump crab, spicy mayo and their special sweet and spicy Bangkok sauce. On the photo, it is the middle roll.
The Mobster Lobster Roll – A spicy tuna, jalapeno, and tempura bits roll, draped in thin sliced avocado and topped with chunks of lobster salad. The rolls were served on the same plate. Yum!!
Shelley wanted dessert…a muffin with coconut, ginger and oranges hit the spot.
The food was so good, the prices were very reasonable….and the service was great!!
The Village of Fenwick was quiet when we left…quaint, as usual.
