I think its the racquet club.
Ok, I forgot the one where Kokomos is called LBR.Quote:

Pretty cool staying in the channel but I’ll take a cove suite at the Nautical over Kingsview anytime.

So you can not leave your boat beached at Kingsview? I thought that was private property. :(Quote:

Since when cant the people leave their boats on the private kings view beach? Mark ur the first person ive ever heard of getting cited for overnight parking. My cousin stays there all the time without incident. Crazy.
Another good choice.Quote:

With the restaurant, two bars, new pool and store it makes things very easy too, and I like easy when I’m on vacation.
Last I heard they were still writing tickets on the weekends, not every weekend but kind of a hit and miss and I was hit twice. I know the owners of the condos were fighting it but I’m pretty sure nothing has changed and the no overnight parking signs are still on the beach.Quote:

Unfortunately the beach there is NOT private unlike the condos on the other side of the channel. When the older condos were built there were no restrictions but after that beach was deemed private the beachon the other side of the channel was deemed to be a public beach well before the Kingsview was built and part of getting permission to build was that the beach in front remain public. :badidea:Quote:

Sometimes I pull in to see some friends and get yelled at saying "your in my spot" well I'm tired of that shit,,,it's a public beach! Across the from Kings View is the Isles, private beach, also to rent there is a minimum of one month rentals. Normally they ticket at KV 2-4 times a year but you never know. I have had several friends get ticketed there. KV tried to to a deal with the city but the city said it belongs to BLM to the full pool mark, 450', but city still does ticket there on and off. A friend of mine has not gotten ticketed there since he registered his boat with Coast Guard, no reg. numbers on side of boat and the city cannot board his boat without his permission, where as others are being ticketed except his.
We stayed there for Desert Storm...left the boat in water for over 5 days....No really..we had it beached there along with Will and Wendi's boat..most everyone that stayed there left their boat out..maybe we just lucky on a no ticket weekend...
