The Flagler Home Builders Association's 31st annual Parade of Homes is under way.
A tour bus of real estate agents stopped first at the Intracoastal Construction showcase home on Tuesday, April 15, where owners Robbie Richmond and his wife, Alesha, celebrated the completion of their new vacation rental.
"We're testing out a higher end vacation rental market that hasn't previously existed in Flagler Beach," Robbie Richmond said, adding that he has plans for two more on the same corner, at Ninth Street South and Oceanshore Boulevard.
So far, so good: The home just became available for rent, and there are already three bookings. Depending on the time of year, the price ranges from about $1,200 to $2,000 per night.
The third floor features walls of windows allowing visitors to see the ocean, the Flagler Beach Pier and the State Road 100 bridge from one room.
The home is called the Sunkissed Sands, at 904 S. Oceanshore Blvd. It also features a poolside putting green and Mario Kart-themed play area.
The Parade of Homes is a scattered site tour of new homes. Each year, builder members of the Flagler Home Builders Association open models, spec and pre-sold homes for people to tour. Details on each entry can be found in our Official Printed Parade Magazine and online at FlaglerParadeofHomes.com.
Home entries have specified open hours from April 11-19, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Showcase Community for the Parade of Homes is Veranda Bay – a waterfront community with access to the Intracoastal Waterway, one mile from the beach. It also features four Parade entries.
