Margaret is a spirited and devoted friend seeking to turn her dream of owning a beach home into reality. With a strong connection to Jacksonville Beach since childhood, Margaret has longstanding roots in this coastal community, having spent her formative years in a military family that moved frequently. Now, as a condo owner ready to take the next step, she envisions a vibrant life filled with sun-soaked days, laughter, and shared moments just steps away from the ocean. 

In the hunt for her beach home she is enlisting the help of her long time best friends Jana and Sarah. Jana will serve as Margaret’s agent and Sarah will be her confidante and guide in the process. Jana knows the market inside and out and she knows her BFF friend Margaret better than anyone, so the choice in agent was an obvious one. Additionally, Sarah has purchased homes of her own in the area and she has also lived with Margaret so having Sarah’s input is incredibly insightful. Plus, with their long-standing history, easy shorthand and fun-filled banter, this should be a blast to find the perfect beach home as three besties!

Whether it’s sun-tanning with friends on the beach, a casual swim in the ocean or even jogging alongside the waves after work, Margaret loves coastal living. Currently, she resides in a small condo that once suited her needs but now feels cut-off from the lively beach community she cherishes. Despite owning her condo, she yearns for a single-family detached home with room to breathe: a property where she can have a yard, escape the noise of upstairs neighbors, and escape the frustrations of previous flooding issues. Margaret is also a big time baker and chef, and therefore the perfect kitchen is very important to her.

In her search for a new beach property, Margaret is leaning towards locations like Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, and Ponte Vedra Beach, where she can be close to friends and favorite hangouts, all while enjoying the laid-back beach life she loves.  Her must-haves in a beach house list includes at least three bedrooms to accommodate guests and a spacious kitchen for her baking, a passion that has everyone in her circle eagerly anticipating her sweet creations. Margaret also longs for an outdoor space where she can relax, entertain, and soak up the sun, be it through a porch or a backyard patio.

Finding the perfect beach house represents much more than a real estate acquisition. For Margaret, it signifies the beginning of a new chapter in her life filled with friendship, community, and the comforting sound of waves crashing nearby. It’s a chance for her to cultivate her love for baking in a spacious kitchen, host friends and family, and develop memories in a place that truly feels like home.
