A Post Thanksgiving Greeting from Isla Del Sol, St Petersburg, Florida
November 24th, 2007 Categories: Things To Do Charlotte
Charlotte NC to St Petersburg, Florida|Great sun, great water, and a large family gathering at a pair of condominiums at Isla De Sol in St Petersburg, Florida…
(one of the things we love about Charlotte is that you can be in central Florida or Washington DC in a days drive, or 75 minute flight)
made for a great Thanksgiving for the McDonald- Richards clan… an engagement announced, a turkey eaten, a hot tub enjoyed, shrimp and margaritas, and a great 4 days off the real estate and blogging trail…
About 30 minutes south of Clearwater, Isla Del Sol is an island on the Pinella Bay Expressway, on the way to DeSoto Park (best beach in the world 2006) and St Petersburg Beach. This island community has low rise - 2 story, and mid-rise elevator buildings. Surrounded by a golf course, this is Florida easy-living at its best.
The real estate? We saw a very nice 2br, 2 ba condo for $249,000. Who to call? That would have to be none other than Cyndee Haydon, (727) 422–8901 our veteran Clearwater-St Pete Beach broker. After a great afternoon on the beach, we enjoyed the sunset at 5:37 pm…
How about real estate in Charlotte, NC?
Our Charlotte market is strong and healthy, and UNDERVALUED (Forbes) based on a strong local economy that is creating well-paying jobs…Charlotte has a four season climate, lake living, 90 golf courses in the immediate area and, for the over 55 active adult’s there is a Del Webb community-Sun City Carolina Lakes. So if you are interested in in a 2nd home, a retirement home, but don’t want to be in Florida, visit Charlotte NC, and I’ll be glad to show you around. That’s me and Cyndee below.

Terry - It was great to have you in town and working with a Charlotte NC Relocation expert like comes in pretty handy since FLorida and NC trade a lot of residents back and forth. Looking forward to your next visit - I promise better weather next time. - Cyndee Haydon
Terry,
Sounds like fun was had by all, and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Glad your back at the computer and back to blogging, I am sure you are working on another great post about real estate in the Charlotte, NC. area. Glad you were able to spend a little time with another great Tomato down in CLearwater Beach Florida.

Sounds like you all had a great time over Thanksgiving.
Sounds like a great time, Terry! Glad to hear you were able to get away from the Charlotte real estate beat for a while, but it’s also good to see you back blogging. Thanks for posting the photos. It looks like you were a lot warmer than we were on Saturday as we watched Maryland stomp NCSU

Bob, did you know I was Terp alumn?
One of few good days for the Terps all year…
Terry- I’m the picture geek- so I notice those first- what great pictures. And congrads on the engagement- whoever that might be.
It’s always fun to meet those people that live inside our computers - especially someone as special as Cyndee.
Mary,
You are Queen of the pictures! The engagement was my son- wow, first for me. And yes, Cyndee and I talked from the first word as old friends.
Terry - What great photos! Sounds like you and your family had a great time in Florida. I have to agree Cyndee is the the one to contact for Clearwater real estate. - Ashley
Terry - I don’t know if I am more envious of your vacation or that you were able to meet Cyndee. Good to hear your Charlotte market is strong and healthy!
