Charlie's house is located in Seacrest, NOT Seacrest Beach. Seacrest Beach is the development across from Highpoint that is predominantly a short term rental resort. I live in Seacrest not far from the Hilton home. Unfortunately when the county came through with those big blue signs and "branded" all the neighborhoods with the word Beach, that only compounded the confusion. I am sure Charlie would not want you to confuse his neighborhood either.

I actually remain confused about this. Are High Pointe, Paradise By the Sea (Charlie's neighborhood) and Seacrest Beach North part of the traditional Seacrest? If so, how can that be if Alys Beach is in the middle? This is my only beef with Alys Beach. :lol:

HighPoint, Paradise By The Sea and the resort of Seacrest Beach are all located in the town of Seacrest. To confuse you even more, the mailing address for each of the above locations is Panama City Beach because that is where the Post Office is located. However, not one of those developments is in Bay County so go figure. Seaside is not in Seaside, Florida, either. It is located in Santa Rosa Beach. I have owned property here since 1993 but it gets more confusing with time. However, the issue really got confused when Seacrest Beach was developed. It also didn't help when the County "branded" all these communities with the word Beach at the end of the name when they put up those big blue signs. Seacrest is my neighborhood but people are always trying to change the name.

It's all so confusing. Another confusing thing is that Santa Rosa Beach is not in Santa Rosa County. Once during a storm watch, Weather Channel, et. al., got them confused.

If the County hadn't taken down Dave Rauschkolb's original wooden sign that said, "Welcome to Seacrest", we would all be less confused. But no, the County had to get rid of that and put one of those big blue monsters up and now that is gone and no one knows where we are now!

Thanks for the updated pictures! That's the first time I've seen that guest house addition. Wish I could make it back over there to get a better look.

And Santa Rosa Beach is not on Santa Rosa Island; and very little of Santa Rosa Island is in Santa Rosa County. St. Rose must have been quite popular with de Luna or some of the early folks.

he has the right (as does Mcrae next door) to whatever house they want.
I commend both for having the ability and financial prowess to own and maintain those homes. I think everyone else that has posted on here must just be jealous... I know I am.

Mr Hilton and Mr Mcrae,
Thank you for spending your money and providing jobs to all those that work for you in all your many endeavors! I hope that you and your families enjoy your homes for many generations as the rest of just look on and dream.

You are very right... sorry about that, I was actually looking at many parcel maps at the same time and clicked the wrong one. Actually just considering purchasing more property down here.

but my position still stands that it is their property and right and there sure has been alot of time wasted by people wanting to stick their nose in other people's business.
