Flagler Beach home watch, from the street, the grounds or the air
Salt, sun and blown sand go to work on a beach house the day you leave. Photos and drone video of its outside, on A1A or the island side streets, reach you wherever you are.
A small town between the ocean and the Intracoastal
Most of Flagler Beach sits on a barrier island. A1A runs right beside the dunes, the pier stands at the end of Moody Boulevard, and the sand has the orange tint of crushed coquina shell. It is a low-rise town of older cottages and newer raised houses.
If yours is a second home or a rental, the outside is the part of it you see least.

What salt air does to a house
-
Railings and fasteners
Metal close to the beach rusts and pits faster than it does a few miles inland.
-
Screens and porches
Wind off the water tugs at screens and at anything left loose on a deck or porch.
-
Paint and siding
Sun and salt chalk the paint and fade the siding, usually first on the side facing the ocean.
None of it happens overnight, which is why two sets of pictures taken months apart make it easy to see.
Storm season on the island
Storms have closed A1A along this stretch before, and an Atlantic storm does not have to come ashore here to send high surf and wind onto the island. A before set while a storm is still several days out, and an after set once the road reopens, give you two dated views of the house.
