Clearwater Florida Sunset Series
Living on the west coast of Florida means great sunsets are just one of the many perks. Living on the Gulf of Mexico we catch lots of great Clearwater sunsets on the water and off.
When I was looking for the perfect quote this one caught my eye this week. While its not purely for the sunset many of you may enjoy the sentiment as you head into a new week at work!
Heres our favorite sunset of the week that we took. If you have a sunset you want to share just email it to me at cyndeehaydon@gmail.com
This week in Clearwater Florida we had a record cold week in the 30s (a low established over 50 years ago) however today it was back in the 70s :-) now thats what Im talking about.
I have to admit looking at this beautiful sunset photo warms me up even now. It also showcases one of the favorite past times in the Tampa Bay area¦boating, crusing, sailing, fishing life on the water is a joy many share.
Clearwater Real Estate Agents Favorite Florida Sunset

Clearwater Florida Real Estate – Grovewood Home Owners Work together for Safety and Fun
January 6th, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Florida
Grovewood | Clearwater Homes
Looking at Clearwater Homes, let us share more about Grovewood, a deed restricted community and their home owners activities.
Grovewood continues to have an active Clearwater neighborhood Crime Watch program and also has a strict posted “No Solicitation Policy”. Many of the Grovewood homeowners have a sign posted at their front door to prevent solicitors from contacting them and are backed by the City of Clearwaters no solicitation policy.
Grovewood is fortunate to have several committed home owners who volunteer regularly to keep the entryway and common areas well maintained and appealing (see photo above) which helps this Clearwater neighborhood keep it’s home values strong and its homes desirable. The Grovewood Homeowner’s Association has also applied for a grant from the City of Clearwater to assist in current improvements for the neighborhood.
The Grovewood Home Owners Association is active and is currently working on updating the entry way and the wall that borders this fine neighborhood of homes. The City of Clearwater is also analyzing a plan to add reclaimed water for these homes – they are still working on the feasibilitiy
Grovewood neighbors also have 2 large neighborhood picnics each year. One in April with a spring theme and one in October with a Fall Harvest theme. All these Clearwater home owners pitch in and contribute to a potluck and then the home owners association pays for main course / meat and then crafts and games for kids and families.
They also host 2 community wide garage sales each year usually the same weekend as the Meadows and Morningside hold theirs so it also has great traffic. The last few years theyve also been doing Christmas Caroling and luminaries too.
Grovewood delivers up-to-the-minute news to home owners via the neighborhood email list maintained by the Grovewood Associations Secretary. The Grovewood Association also publishes a Neighborhood Newsletter periodically.

The tile roofs is a signature of this Clearwater Florida community and one of the strictest parts of their deed restrictions – all Grovewood homes must have tile roofs.For a neighborhood that is about 30 years old home buyers want to be sure and have a home inspection out if the homes roof has been replaced or not with the new Florida roofing laws of October 2007 this is a cost that needs to be planned for since most of the original roofs have reached the end of their useful life.

Most of these Clearwater homes have 2 bathrooms and 2 car garages and more than 1/2 of the homes also have pools in a lovely deed restricted neighborhood.

Clearwater Real Estate Agents Help Delighted Family Buy Pool Home
January 1st, 2008 Categories: Clearwater Florida
Clearwater Florida Family Get’s Their Pool Home before Year Ends
Clearwater Florida Well its hard to believe 2007 is over…so what did we do on the last business day of 2007 we helped a Clearwater family realized their dream of buying their new Clearwater Pool Home and then we all got to celebrate! What a great way to end 2007!!
We have written before that we dont do “real estate closings” we do “real estate celebrations” because we dont see the people and families we meet buying and selling homes and condos in Clearwater as being finished at the end of a real estate transaction. We see them as friends and we this as a happy time that signifies the beginning of a life long relationship.
Heres what Chris and Dave, Clearwater home buyers, had to say about their Clearwater pool home buying experience and what it was like working with us. We are pleased to know that even though they had bought several homes over the years they felt like this “was their best experience ever”. Chris and Dave also gave Jack compliments for being such a great advocate for them. I have to tell you he does an amazing job for our clients I have to give him kudos too!! Great job hon!!
Clearwater Real Estate Agent get’s Home Buyer’s Praise
Celebration Continues Friends, Fun Families
Here are a few photos of Chris and Daves “Celebration”
When was the last time you saw your Mortgage broker get this kind of client affirmation?
As always, we feel blessed to work with other real estate and mortgage professionals, like Leah Ross, that always put the home buyers dreams above closing any transaction. Thats harder to find than you might think.
So as we end 2007, we have so much to be thankful for and just wanted to thank all those that gave us the opportunity to serve them over this past year.
We also want to thank all our loyal readers that make it fun to write and share our Tampa Bay community and give our Clearwater Florida Real Estate thoughts each day here on Sandbars to Sunsets.
We are looking forward to an even better 2008. Looking forward to having you be part of the journey. The fun continues by sharing it with friends and family. Hope youll consider being part of our Sandbars to Sunsets family in 2008!
“Now all I can tell you is what happens in Clearwater Florida stays in Clearwater Florida and judging from the smiles everyone had a great time!”

Clearwater Florida Holiday Parade Kicks off Day of Downtown Festivities and Fun
December 15th, 2007 Categories: Clearwater Florida
Clearwater Florida Celebrates Holidays in Style
Clearwater Florida – Today was the City of Clearwater’s Annual Clearwater Holiday Parade and also included a downtown Festival from 11:00 am to 4:00pm.
The Parade began at Crest Lake Park and Cleveland Street was closed from Crest Lake down to Coachman Park.
Here’s a shot of the Costco float with my friend, Tim Glenn, getting into the fun. Costco Wholesale located in the Clearwater Mall is a great supporter of the City of Clearwater and our community activities. We are lucky to have them in our community. Bright House is another company that goes above and beyond and today was no exception – they were here in full force.
While it was overcast in Clearwater this morning, it didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. When the parade began it was obvious it showcased Clearwater community pride and participation from some of our leading community organizations like out local Boy Scout and Girls Scout troops, High School Bands, all the Clearwater City Commissioners, the Mayor, Frank Hibbard and the City Manager, Bill Horne, clowns, non-profits, leading businesses and more. We enjoyed festive floats from:
- The City of Clearwater Parks and Recreation;
- The City of Clearwater Celebrates Diversity;
- City of Clearwater Float;
- Hooters Restaurant;
- Clearwater Gas System;
- Bright House Network ;
- Costco Wholesale;
- Morton Plant Hospital;
- United States Power Squadron Safe Boating Float
- The Threshers baseball;
- The Boy Scouts – Copperheads;
- Santa Margarita Krewe;
- Univision Tampa;
- Krewe of the Shamrock;
- Crewe of Hernando DeSoto;
- lil Red Wagon Clowns – Largo, Florida;
Here are some of the photos I took – thought you’d enjoy the Holiday fun – The great part about Clearwater is that there are always fun things to do here.
Beads and candy were a plenty for the children along the parade route.
Clearwater is a city that hasn’t lost that local flavor of a good city parade.

There are so many fun activities going on in Clearwater and Pinellas County this holiday season.
Tonight there were several Holiday boat parades in Indian Rocks Beach, Madeira Beach and Tarpon Springs.
We have noticed lots of our Clearwater neighborhoods and our neighbors getting into the Christmas spirit with lots of lights and decorations – seems to be a season where everyone is feeling festive.
Maybe it’s part of the effort to remember it’s December when it’s 82 degrees in Clearwater Florida in December. 🙂
Wishing you time with family and friends to enjoy the upcoming week – can you believe there are just 10 days until Christmas – Are you ready?
