AboutMyBeaches Turns 5!! Events, Restaurants, Reviews, Where to Shop…and What to Cook for Dinner! Advertisers: Beach House Management, Coastal Chem-Dry, Doggies At The Beach, Alice H. Klein-TKO, Butter Shades, Bethany Area Realty…Word of Mouth

img_6850

Five years ago I was sitting at Hobos located at Baltimore Avenue in Downtown Rehoboth Beach, when my husband suggested I started a website.  To tell you the truth I think he was tired of me calling him to the office to tell him I had found a better place to get corn, or that the crabs were bigger at such and such place…..and can you believe they are putting another bla bla bla store here?

I fell right into it.  But from a website it went to a website written in a blog style.  Living at the beach is great.  I never take it for granted.  And, for so many years John and I lived here at the Delaware Beaches.  He could have written the blog himself also.  I guess being residents of the “Beaches” gave us the ability to pass on the information….at times maybe too much information.

For the ones that follow my blog, there are over 43,000 photos.  5 years worth of photos.  My family is still not at ease by my taking photos of the food at restaurants.  They say that is so embarrassing.  My friends?  They are more forgiving.  They humor me and don’t dare to start eating until the photo or photos are taken.

John was my best PR person.  He always carried AboutMyBeaches cards in his wallet.  But, John passed away last August.  Yes, that’s the way life goes; not fair.  He had a very dry sense of humor and I am sure he is watching what I am writing and what I am eating.  He was the first foodie I knew.  We miss him so much.

My advertisers are great, just click on their website located on the right hand of this post.  I do know them personally.  I want to thank them by including them on this post.

BEACH HOUSE MANAGEMENT, LLC – At the head of this company is Michael Keegan.  Since 2003 his property management company took care of our Florida properties located in Delray Beach.  I could not say enough about Michael and his staff.  Having a property manager when you are not in the area is not an indulgency; it is a necessity.  If you are looking for someone in the Delray Beach area, please contact them.

It is so good to be able to say thank you and mean it.  I want to thank those companies advertising on AboutMyBeaches.  Some of them I bugged a lot; explaining why they should be on my website.  I really do appreciate it.

AboutMyBeaches started back on July of 2009.  It was one of those ideas.  I am a frustrated concierge.  First it was going to be just a website.  When my webmaster, Ed Timmons, met with me, I kept talking and talking.  He probably thought I was more of a blogger.  So, really, it was his suggestion.  Here I am.  I consider myself to be in the business of Word of Mouth.

Since my advertisers are on my website, which is written in a blog style, you can access them directly.  Just look at them on the right hand side of AboutMyBeaches,  http://www.aboutmybeaches.com, and you will be able to find out what these companies are all about.  They are all different.  Their owners are very nice, and easy to talk to.

A Dusting of Snow in Rehoboth Beach, Delray Beach You are on My Mind, Tauriello & Co., Anita Jennings Designs, Beach House Management, South Florida, Village by the Sea, Palm Beach County

Yesterday, well, it was too cold to snow.  As I took Addy out last night I thought it was much warmer as in 38 degrees or so.  When I woke up this a.m. and saw the dusting of snow, and believe me, it was just a dusting, for crying out loud, my thoughts went to the town of Delray Beach, Florida.  That’s my home away from home.

So when I say a picture says it all; it does, don’t you think?

dscn1413

dscn0444

With that in mind I have to tell you that back in 2002 was the year when we first visited Delray Beach.  Like anything else, a friend said to stay there while visiting colleges in South Florida.  We liked it so much that in 2003 we bought a place.  I think it reminded me of Rehoboth Beach; small coastal town, lots of restaurants, the beach, art and entertainment.  The locals, natives, shopkeepers, and inn-keepers are very friendly; like you have known them forever.

The following companies are those that we have worked with on an ongoing basis.  So reliable and very professional.

dscn0387

We met Cheran from Tauriello & Co. and she has been our realtor ever since.  The company is located right there on Atlantic Ave.  900 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, FL 33483.  Tel. 561-5570.  Toll Free 877-509-8300.  Website?  http://www.tauriello.com.   Daniel and Sue Tauriello are the Brokers of Record.

Cheran and Tauriello have been very accessible and easy to work with.  They have been in the community for so many years and know the area so well.  You can find Tauriello & Co. on Facebook.

So, if you are in search of a place to hang your beach chair and bag, give them a call.

Anita is the owner of Anita Jennings Designs.  She is an Interior Designer.  At times people are a little put off by some of these designers but Anita is very easy to talk to.  She has said in the past that if you have a lot of money then the work of a designer is just so easy.  It is when there is a budget that the designer can really shine and show what he or she can do.  I can recommend her with complete confidence.  If you are interested then give her a call at 561-278-7473.  Anita speaks English and Spanish and a few other languages, as well.

dscn0601

Beach House Management, LLC. is a Property Management Company in Delray Beach.  Michael Keegan is at the helm and I have yet to see anyone that is so organized and so professional as he deals with all of us, his clients.  He knows I cannot live without him; I have said so before.

He probably thinks I am crazy for saying this but there is nothing he cannot do.  So, there is nothing else to say.  Having a property manager is a necessity, not a luxury, more so for me and others that do not make Delray Beach our permanent home.

You can contact Michael at 561-376-4329.  He has a very nice website so check it out at www.mybeachhouses.com.

Please note that Tauriello & Co., Anita Jennings Designs, and Beach House Management are advertisers on AboutMyBeaches, all you have to do is click on their websites on the right hand side of my blog.  That’s all you need to do to know more about them.

Just a thought…sand between our toes…a chair, a beach bag….and a place to hang it all…

Have a great day….talk to you later…

Is that time of the year when getting colder up north means that you are either a Snowbird or a Snowflake.  I think I am in the category of the Snowflake.  The snowflakes just come and go.  Don’t get me wrong, I like cold weather, within reason.  But, the other day I saw that someone had written on Facebook, where else? I love it when it gets cold up north.  It was from someone that had a business in South Florida.  And, yes, the season has begun.  The airports are a little crowded, reservations are a most in some of the most sought after restaurants.  You know the drill, right?

When I opened my computer I saw that even though it is going to warm up during the day…38 degrees in Rehoboth Beach….hmmmm this post was then much needed.

dscn0444

I have been in Delray Beach now since 2003.  You have heard me go on and on about how unobstructed the beaches are here.  No tall buildings, just a few things are needed to enjoy the beach; the water with beautiful color and it is so clear.  That’s what originally attracted me to this town.  Also, it reminded me of Rehoboth Beach, my home.

dscn0445

dscn0440

When my husband I first came here, we were sitting at a restaurant having breakfast and we picked up a real estate magazine.  We thought we would just look around.  That started a relationship with Cheran Tauriello from Tauriello & Co., located at 900 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach, FL. 33483.  Tel. 561-278-5570.  Toll free # 877-509-8300.  Brokers of Record & Owners:  Daniel & Sue Tauriello

dscn0387

They have been so easy to work with.  They are very professional.  In Delray Beach for so many years; they know the community, neighborhoods and the company deals with a wide variety of properties.

I have suggested them to friends, as well.  And my own personal feelings are that I have not had to look anywhere else.  They really have been very good to us.

Tauriello & Co. is one of my advertisers.  To go directly into their site, click on their website on the right hand side of this blog.

Anita Jennings Designs – I have known Anita for so many years.  She is from my Humacao, Puerto Rico.  That’s where I grew up.  And, I found her in Delray when we bought our place.  Anita is a one woman show with many years of experience in design.  She is also very easy to work with and speaks several languages.   Her telephone is 561-278-7473.  She is one of my advertisers, just click on her website on the right hand side of this blog to go directly into her site and see what she is all about.

Beach House Management – Michael Keegan is the Property Manager that I have used since 2003.  Being out of town, having a property management company to take care of your place is not a luxury, but a necessity.  I have to laugh because when you visit Beach House Management’s website, you will find a list of services provided by them.  If I had to tell you the services Michael has provided for us, there would be no end.  Many are listed there but the majority are not.  Some funny and some not so funny.

I always say that I cannot live without him; it is still true.  Beach House Management is located in the heart of Delray Beach.  Call Michael at 561-376-4329.  Website?  www.MyBeachHouses.com.  Fax: 561-330-6204.  Or, email him to BeachHouseMgmt@aol.com.

Beach House Management is also one of my advertisers.  You can just click on their website and you will be right there. They really have been constant and attentive and great to deal with.

 

 

I don’t think I had to beg them to become advertisers; well, maybe a little.  Word of mouth, a blog, a website….it all helps.

and points in between.  Yes, sometimes I might be on my way somewhere and the opportunity calls to check out a food truck, a tapas bar, a new beach, or a new museum.  That’s why it is so much fun about writting a website in a blog style.  It is a diary, yours alone. 

AboutMyBeaches has made realized that I want to know and experience more.  I remember when my webmaster, Ed Timmons from 4C, Inc., http://www.4cinc.com, mentioned I should write a blog instead of the standard website.  I guess he figured I was talking his ear off so I was a good candidate for bla, bla, bla.  He just did not know how much I could talk. 

Then, I started blogging, only a few readers here or there.  People that are connected on the internet suddenly started to find me.  I think my posts are honest and from my heart.  I have posted so far 728 posts, and now I am getting over 14,000 hits per month.  Who would have thought?

And, you know what? I want more.  Granted, some posts are more interesting than others; so its life itself.  Remember that it is a diary.

100_1010

Pictures….I decided to incorporate them because people are so visual.  Looking at a picture entices you to read.  Well, I should hope so, even though I do have some friends that say they have read the posts but maybe they just looked at the pictures.  I know who they are, right?  Shelley, Debbie at times.  Not Missy or Richard, though.  My fault, I test them.

My friends and my family have put up going out to dinner with me.  My first statement as we sit down at a table is “don’t touch the food until I take a picture” and “can we all order something different?”  I am surprised they even still want to go out with me.

It is so funny because I get e-mails or suggestions on places to go and check out.  I welcome them; we all have different likes and dislikes and I am an inquisitive person.

The coastals towns that, I, predominantly promote, I love.  There is something about living by the ocean.  I know I am lucky.  The Delaware Beaches have been home for many years and so good to my family.  Giving them a push is not a brainer.

100_1021

I do offer advertising on my website.  It is $500/ per year.  I offer personal care.  No clicks here or there.  You are there to stay on my site.  Thanks to the following advertisers.

I have posts to write.  A few still left from my 24 hours in Baltimore, Maryland.  Events going on at the Rehoboth Museum, a must if you are visiting Rehoboth Beach.  On the Rocks is, believe it or not, inside the terminal for the Cape May-Lewes Ferry.  Amazing views; casual, a beer or a hamburger, fries.  I want to check the tailor in Rehoboth….got to go..have a great day!!

J. Palmer, Inc., General Contractors, Beach House Management, LLC, Property Manager, South Florida, Palm Beach County

 

Different events happened in my life in 2010.  One of them was a kitchen fire in my place in Delray Beach.  We were lucky that nobody was hurt.  All of a sudden companies were knocking on our doors to ‘help us” get our place back together. I could not believe it.  It was like they were attached to a radio, following fire and flood disasters.

Fire in Coralina 1

 Since my place of residence is Delaware, I do have a Property Manager in Delray Beach.  I have written about him in the past.  His name is Michael Keegan and his company is Beach House Managemenht, LLC.  It is located at 777 E. Atlantic Ave., Suite Z-307, Delray Beach, FL 33483. Tel. 561-376-4329.   Beach House Management is also one of my advertisers.  So, visit the website by just clicking on it on the right hand side of this site.  In it you will learn about the company, the services they provide, links, and other important information. 

I have known Michael for years and I am not ashame to say that I could not live without him.  He has been a constant since we first purchased in Delray.  My family has certainly kept his property management services busy.  And it does not stop there.  He has also helped my children while in Delray so many times.

Having a property manager means to me peace of mind; it is not a luxury, but a necessity.  He is always there; just a phone call away.  That’s exactly what happened back on April, 2010 when there was a kitchen fire.  Michael was at our place on that moment’s notice already contacting the people that were important at that time.

He introduced us to Dan Palmer.  He owns J. Palmer, Inc., located at 3805 Investment Lane, Riviera Beach, FL 33404.  Tel. 561-848-7114, toll free 800-824-4997.  They are General Contractors, specializing in insurance restoration and remodeling.  Also involved in general property repairs and maintenance.

Dan was incredible. The fire happened in April and I probably met Dan in late June.  But, every Monday he called us with the updates. Yes, our conversations were all handled through the telephone.   He took care of emptying the contents of our place. He had everything cleaned.  He dealt with the insurance company.  That is his specialty.  I trusted him so much that he picked my appliances, tiles, kitchen faucet and gave me directions on how to get through something like this without falling apart.  Easy, one day at a time.  He is cool, calm and collected.

Kitchen Coralina

The place has turned out so nice, so here are the results, after kitchen replaced, floors replaced, furniture and clothing cleaned, painting, replacing curtains (he brought the fabric samples).  It really was definitely a lot of work for Dan, but he got it done.

I even had him put a cabinet, countertop and sink in a half bath that was not part of the restoration.

287

But wait, I am not finished.  There was water damaged upstairs and another claim had to be filed and floors replaced.  He took care of it all. 

If you find yourself in this type of situation, please do not hesitate to call Dan Palmer.  You have the telephone numbers.  He has been extremely professional; I cannot say enough.  I recommend his company fully, just like I recommend Beach House Management, as well.

Have a great week-end….talk to you later…..

Continuing with my previous post about Delray Beach, I will have to mention 3 companies that I have dealt with for many years.  I can truly recommend them to you as very reliable, competent and professional.

As the season starts in South Florida and as our weather turns a little colder you might want to check out Delray Beach.  It is funny because some of my friends that already have properties there keep telling me to keep it quiet; they don’t want people to discover this Village by the Sea.  I think the word is out, though.

 

Tauriello & Company – Real Estate. “Matching People with Properties”.  I have used them to purchase real estate in Delray Beach.  Cheran Tauriello has lived in Delray for many years and is very capable of showing the right property for you.  She was the first person that I worked with and of course I have met Sue Tauriello who is the Broker of Record for the company. 

Tauriello & Company advertises on this website and you can see them on the right hand side.  Just click on it to be directed to their website.  The telephone is 561-278-5578.

 

Anita Jennings Designs – An interior designer that I have used.  Anita is bilingual and a very easy person to deal with.  Her telephone is 561-278-7473.  What I like about her is that she does not imposed her taste on you; she is so honest and very reasonable.

Anita advertises in this website so just click on her website and you will get information on her services.

 

Beach House Management, LLC – Michael Keegan – What can I tell you about this company and Michael?  Over the years he has been more than a property manager; more like a friend and someone that I can fully trust with everything.

He has helped my children while they were living in Florida and just recently was very instrumental in helping us deal with a fire in our townhouse. He found us Dan Palmer who was responsible for the restoration.  I will have to write about him later, as well.

Michael also is our property manager in another property in Delray.  He is one of my advertisers so, you can click on the right hand side of this site to see what this company has to offer.  His tel. is 561-376-4329. 

 

I want to thank them all for their continued support and help.  Hope the coming season brings all of them much success!!

 

Talk to you later….

Property Managers, Beach House Management, LLC, Delray Beach, Florida, Coastal Home Services, Bethany Beach, Delaware

 

Back on January 7th, 2010, I wrote a post for my blog about Property Managers.  If you would like to see it, just click on the month of January under Archives and scroll down to the date.

Once again, I would have to tell you that I feel exactly the same about Beach House Management, LLC and Coastal Home Services.  I know the owners personally and I can trust them fully with my properties.

Being, that your home is your “castle”, property managers give you peace of mind.

They are not a luxury, they are a necessity. 

 

In Delray Beach, Florida

Michael Keegan is the owner of Beach House Management, LLC, located at 777 E. Atlantic Ave., Suite Z-307 in Delray.  Tels. 561-376-4329 and toll free 866-414-4329.  Website is http://mybeachhouses.com.  E-mail address is beachhousemgmt@aol.com.

Beach House Management is one of my Advertisers; you can see their ad on the right side of the blog and if you click on it, you will directly go into its site.

What can I say about Michael?  He is very knowledgeable, professional, prompt and courteous.  Doesn’t that say it all?  I can still go on an on about everything he has done for my properties in Delray and, actually, for my family, as well. He has arranged pick ups at the airport, has opened the doors to our place more times that I can count, white flies on the hedge? No problem, getting competitive prices for jobs, replacement of faucets, light fixtures, close and open the property, dealing with tenants, comcast, you name it, he has done it. 

Needless to say, I recommend him fully.  At this time of the year when some of the “snowbirds” will be leaving the area, he would be a trustworthy person to handle your “castle”.

 

In Bethany Beach, Delaware

The Delaware Beaches are gearing up for the summer season.  By the looks of the amount of visitors already coming to our beaches, I can tell you that it is going to be a busy summer.

Coastal Home Services is located in Bethany Beach.  The address is P.O. Box 3, Bethany Beach, DE 19930.  The website is www.coastal-home-services.com and the e-mail address is info@coastal-home-services.com.

The owner of this company is Debbie Dyer.  I have known her for many years and anyone that knows her will attest to her organizational and managerial skills.

Being that she is a local, she knows the Delaware Beaches very well.  She is also an Advertiser on my blog.  You can check her website by clicking on it on the right hand of the blog. 

Just like Michael Keegan of Beach House Management, she is knowledgeable, professional, prompt and courteous.  You meet her, she will give you her wide smile and you will feel like you have known her all your life.

Coastal Home Services is a full concierge service.  So, all I can say is give Debbie a call so that she can make your stay more enjoyable, and keep your “castle” the way you want it to be kept.
