Paradise Homes Paradise Homes is a boutique family owned builder and not a large nationwide construction company. We concentrate on each client’s wants and needs indi-vidually and work closely with you our client to build the home of your dreams.

We strive to build new quality energy efficient homes built from the best mate-rials, not only to save money in the long term, but to conserve the environment while doing so. Our family owned business has over 25 years of experience in the building industry. We specialize in designing and building quality homes of distinction.

We specialize in the east coast of Florida from West Palm Beach to Sebastian/ Melbourne.

Our company is based on the belief that our customers’ needs are of the ut-most importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and refer-rals. With over 25 years of experience in the building industry, our company is based on honesty and integrity. We will work hard to earn your trust every day.

Over the years, Paradise Homes has amassed an eclectic portfolio of floor plans, having designed and built a multitude of custom homes. For those clients who choose to start from scratch, Paradise Homes will seat you with our in-house architect and draft plans to meet all your specifications and expectations, while embracing its commitment to “Green Building” and its use of products and ma-terials made in the USA.

According to Karen Gordon, President of Paradise Homes, customer service is what separates and elevates Paradise Homes above all of its competition. “Our biggest advantage is in listening to what the client wants as opposed to telling the client what comes standard with the house as well as what minor changes or upgrades can be done.

Paradise Homes is building new homes for its clients from Melbourne to West Palm Beach. It is able to build on your lot, single lots, subdivisions, and golf course communities.

If you do not own a lot, Paradise Homes will help you in find the perfect home site in the perfect area to build the house you have always dreamed of. Para-dise specializes in Sebastian, Vero Beach, Port St. Lucie and in Indian River, St. Lucie, and Martin counties.

August 2015

Beth L. Mitchell, President & CEO

August in Florida is a reminder to us about who’s in charge! Thank goodness for our air conditioning companies for keep-

ing us cool!

If you haven’t seen the progress on the Pelican Porch Visitor Center, when you have a chance for a drive by, the concrete

block frame for the porch is up, and you can get a real visual of the shape and size of the future porch! A shout out to

Capp Custom Builders, while we were cool and calm inside, Mickey’s crew worked ten hours a day in the middle of July, in

96 degree sunshine. We are in awe of the workmanship! We are also very excited about the $25,000 grant received from

the Indian River County Tourist Development Council for media equipment, and bells and whistles, for the interior of the

Visitor Center. Web cams, electronic kiosks, maps and other goodies will help us educate the visitors when they come

through the door. We also want to mention the generous contributions that came in this month from the Tiki Bar and Grill

(Two Nuts and a Clam), and the Sebastian Lions Club. We appreciate their generosity!

Keeping you informed is part of our mission and I want to share a story with a warning. BJ Locksmith, one of our members,

came into the office to tell me about a new scam that is affecting his business. If you are in need of a locksmith, be careful

if you are in the habit of using Google. There’s a bogus call center (might be located in St. Lucie County) that advertises in

a way that makes you think they are local. “Sebastian Locksmith”. They will quote you a price of $15 (too good to be true)

and then when they show up and fix the problem they up the ante significantly, and will not give you the keys until you

pay. The Sebastian detectives set up a sting, the locksmiths that showed up when they called the Sebastian Locksmith

number, were actually from Palm Bay. To add insult to injury, they used the Chamber address of 700 Main St. as their

business address. Unfortunately white collar crime does not get the attention for prosecution, and by locating beyond the

jurisdiction of local law enforcement, they fly under the radar. Just a reminder, know, like and trust whoever you do busi-

ness with! We have reputable locksmith chamber members for you to call!

Summer is our planning time, and we want you to save the date for our 22nd Annual Media Auction. September 25 is the

date, a fun Friday night! We have booked the Sebastian Working Waterfront location, catered by Crabby Bill’s Seafood

staff, we should have an awesome evening. The Media Auction is designed to provide our chamber members with adver-

tising offers and unique ways to promote your business, at very reduced rates. We always have a great time and the loca-

tion reminds me of all the Chamber events we used to hold at Hurricane Harbor! Hope you will plan on joining us!

Our lunch location has changed, so if you were planning on going to Disney, just head north to Capt. Hiram’s instead. Dis-

ney has booked a wedding the same day, and we were pleased that Capt. Hiram’s could accommodate us for an extra

lunch in the Tiffany Room. Marty Smithson, Administrator for the Sebastian Inlet District will speak to us about the all of

the work going on at the inlet. Our lunch sponsor is Panda Roof and so we will cover diverse subjects! Also on tap in Au-

gust is a business and pleasure hosted by Joanie at “Coastal Décor” in the Village Shoppes on US One. This business was

formally known as Design Transformations, it’s a beautiful shop filled with extraordinary home furnishings and décor.

Have a prosperous month and stay cool!

Tourism Tidbits By Nicole Capp-Holbrook

A big thank you to everyone who attended the July Tourism Committee Meeting! We had a great meeting! For those of you that missed it, here is a recap: We had a special guest speaker, Ben Costello from

Their mission is to promote public awareness and scholarly study of all facets of the 1715 Fleet disaster. Events include Book Signings, Meet and Greets, Treasure Talks, Muse-um Tours, a 2-Day Symposium, Children's Pro-grams, a Bus Tour, a Commemoration Banquet at Capt Hiram's & more! Mel Fisher’s Treasure Muse-um will be hosting “Treasure Talks” on Monday, July 27th from 1-4 p.m. and the cost is $20. Follow-ing the lectures, there will be a “Meet & Greet” Reception from 5-7 p.m. Capt Hiram’s Resort will be hosting the Official 1715 Fleet Commemorative Banquet on Thursday, July 30th from 5:30-9:30 p.m. The cost is $75.

Tourism Director Report- We showed the 5 segments from CBS 12’s Road

Trippin’ Series which featured the Sebastian River Area and Capt Hiram’s Resort, Sebastian Water-craft Rentals, Marsh Landing Restaurant, Skydive Sebastian and Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum. The campaign included an “Enter to Win” prize draw-ing which resulted in nearly 600 entries (which we

can add to our database)! In case you missed it, you can watch the segments online at www.cbs12.com/roadtrippin and click on Sebas-tian.

In July, we ran a ½ page ad in Coastal Angler pro-moting our diverse fishing opportunities, targeting the Florida Region with a statewide circulation of 200,000 copies and 20 online editions.

Last February, we apply for a VISIT FLORIDA Adver-tising Matching Grant for the 2015-2016 fiscal year. We recently found out that we were award-ed $3,500. These funds will help our TDC dollars go even further! Stay tuned for information on 2015-2016 advertising and co-op opportunities.

The Florida Department of Agriculture & Fresh From Florida have put together postcards pro-moting all of the Working Waterfronts throughout Florida. Each postcard highlights a different loca-tion and shows a past and present photo. One of our local landmarks and historical sites, Archie Smith Fish House was included! If you would like one, feel free to stop by the Chamber and pick one up!

Our TDC Special Project Request for the Pelican Porch Visitor’s Center was approved! We are so excited to start making improvements to the in-side of our Visitors Center, which will enhance our visitors’ experience! This special project includes: a Viewfinder/Spotting Scope on the Front Porch, Map Displays (the entire IRLNSB and Indian River County), 6 Webcams at various area attractions, and 3 Monitors to view them, a TV to display sev-eral videos, an Electronic Kiosk for visitors to search local accommodations, events, restaurants, attractions, etc. and updating the outside kiosks. Stay tuned!

The Chamber’s will be implementing a new hotel booking engine on our websites in October. Re-gatta Travel Solutions offers targeted strategies & today’s most advanced technology as well as unique packages & product offerings. There is no cost- no commission or fees- to the hotels but you will have access to priceless information! Features include:

(Continued)

Communication Corner By Britney Melchiori

We will compete head to head with major OTA’s on Tripadvisor, Kayak, Travelzoo, Travelocity, etc. (which attracts a qualified, targeted visitor and brings credibility to our site.

We can track revenue generated from bookings on our sites along with other detailed reports.

We will have access to data that will allow hotels to interact directly with the consumer to finalize bookings, negotiate rates and dates, as well as touch base with guest a few days prior to arrival to encourage them to book attractions.

We will be able to sell destination wide packages so attractions can participate as well (museums, boat tours, etc.) by offering unique deals that customers wouldn’t get elsewhere.

There are many other perks and we will have a meeting in September before we launch the pro-gram so our hoteliers and attractions can learn how to get the most out of this new tool!

Our 2016 Photo Contest is just around the corner and we are looking for a theme! Some of the ideas discussed at the meeting were “Local Treasures of Sebastian” and “Treasured Moments.” If you have an idea, please let us know.

Capt Hiram's is a fun, relaxed waterfront beach resort, with a riverfront restaurant, Bahamian-style SandBar, Boutique-style hotel, Boatique gift shop, and marina nes-tled on the Intracoastal Waterway.

The evolution of Capt Hiram's history as a waterfront resort is truly a unique story with solid roots in the area. The property was purchased by Tom Collins in 1986, who partnered with Martin Carter and Jimmy Hoffman to open, what was then known as Sebastian Inlet Marina. Since then it has grown from a small marina into the ar-ea's largest waterfront resort and restaurant. With the growth of the resort came the welcome addition of own-ers Liz and Mickey Capp in 2001. In late 2013 Capt Hiram's truly came full circle with the appointment of Will Collins, who was born the year the company was purchased, as President of Capt Hiram's.

Capt Hiram’s Resort is a unique option for Florida corpo-rate and group events as well as leisure travelers. It fea-tures a restaurant, hotel, live entertainment nightly, and more. There are a variety of packages to suit corporate and group events’ requirements. There are also inclu-sive packages for families, singles and couples. The hotel offers rooms with a variety of amenities including balco-nies or patios, a heated pool with tropical foliage, a coin laundry, and vending machines. Also available to guests of the hotel are complementary kayak, stand up paddle board and bicycle rentals. Construction has begun on 16 new state of the art units directly across from the River-front rooms with a planned opening in early 2016.

There is also plenty to fill your time with fishing, boat rentals, kayak, stand up paddleboard & bike rentals, and eco-cruises on the new River King, right on proper-ty. Capt Hiram's also features live entertainment seven nights a week, including the Capt Hiram's Concert Series where you can enjoy national recording acts in the inti-

mate setting of the SandBar.

Capt Hiram's was also thrilled to add to its family the Best Western just to our north on US 1. All this and so much more, in one location so just park you car and join the fun. Come to Capt Hiram's, where you can be lazy or crazy! For more information about the Sebastian Florida Beach resort, Specials, Events and everything "Hiram's" call the Captain today @ 772-589-4345 or visit online at www.hirams.com!
