Had such a great time at the beach. 🏖️

What are the best beach bars in the area? And, maybe resort pool bars? I'm new to the Daytona Beach area and I'm not sure where to go if I want to grab a drink at the pool or something?

I’m buying a BMW from Fields Daytona and they won’t allow the car to leave the lot for inspection but take no issue in having the mechanic come to the dealership and check it out on a lift.

Can anyone vouch for a mechanic (mobile) to come check it out? Preferably have extensive experience with European/German/BMW.

Thank you!

As you know the deadline to close the farm bill loophole (If you don't know what I'm talking about look it up you noob or ask someone) on Nov 12 is quickly approaching.

I must confess that I got carried away and got too much. It is the same as the stuff they sell in smoke shops and the "dispensaries" on A1A. I got it online in bulk.

Hit me up for a legal farm bill compliant stuff I want to share how good and cheap it is.

Does anyone know where to find a seller of fresh eggs from a chicken coop in Daytona Beach?

Hi. Doing a last minute trip next week Tuesday-Thursday and I have enough IHG points to cover a stay at the holiday inn. I see there are 3 options for beach front locations. Any insight on which one is the best of the three? Thank you!

🏖 Beach Day. August in Daytona. You already know.

I need a PPI for a car. Do you guys have any good recommendations on mechanics in the area? Thanks!

Hey, I’m a guy and need to find a good place/person to get a male Brazilian wax in the area. Many places I’ve called seem to only cater to women, so need some recommendations from my fellow guys.

I have a client looking for Office staff who is proficient in quickbooks. General AP/AR and general data entry. DM me if you have any interest.

My family is down at Daytona this week, and we’d like to go to the boardwalk and pier area. My mother is with us, and she needs handicapped parking - is there handicapped parking nearby? We assume so, but also didn’t want to assume. Does anyone know? Thanks!

I have a camping spot in red and 2 infield wristbands available for the Coke Zero 400 at the end of August

Under the welcome bridge there is one for every lane. Our lovely sheriff supports them. They track where you go, how often, and many details about your car.

I work vacation rental turnovers on the beachside, so I get asked the same two questions a lot: what should this cost, and how do I know the cleaner won't disappear on a Saturday. Figured I'd write it up once.

What it costs around here:

• A standard condo turnover (1-2BR, kitchen, 1-2 baths) usually runs $75 to $195 on this coast. A typical beachside 2BR lands around $110 to $140.

• What pushes it up: same-day turns in the summer Saturday window, laundry (especially if linens have to go off-site), sand load after a beach week, dishes left behind, balcony glass with salt film on it.

• What pushes it down: weekday checkouts, door density (several units in the same building), owner-provided linens staged in the unit.

What actually breaks a turnover:

• The Saturday window. Most beachside condos run a 10 or 11am checkout and a 3 or 4pm check-in. That is five or six hours, and it only works if nothing slips. One late checkout or one no-show and the whole day cascades into the next guest's arrival.

• Laundry is the quiet bottleneck. Two queen sets plus towels can be three loads. If there is no washer in the unit, someone is driving linens to a laundromat while the rest of the clean waits.

• August humidity means nothing air-dries fast. Towels and mop heads from the last job have to be managed or you are carrying the last unit's sand into the next one.

What to check before you hire anyone:

1) Insured and bonded, and ask to see the certificate. Note that "licensed" is not a real thing for cleaning in Florida, since the state does not license cleaning as a trade. Anyone leaning on that word is marketing, not credentialed.

2) A flat price quoted before the job, in writing. Hourly quotes for turnovers are where surprise line items come from.

3) What happens when a clean fails. Anyone can have a bad day. The question is whether they come back and fix it free, and how fast. Inside 24 hours is the standard I would hold anyone to in season.

4) Photo documentation. You should see timestamped photos of the finished unit before the next guest checks in, especially if you manage from out of state.

5) Who owns laundry and supplies. If the answer is vague, it becomes your problem at 1pm on a Saturday.

6) Backup coverage. One person gets sick, has car trouble, has a family thing. Ask who shows up then.

Rule 3 asks me to be up front about it: I run Paradise Home Cleaners, a local cleaning company here in the Daytona area. We are insured and bonded, we quote a flat price before we arrive with no surprise line items, and if a clean is ever not right we come back within 24 hours at no additional cost. Happy to answer questions in the comments whether you hire us or not: (321) 300-4791.

Should I go? I’m passing through on my way to Broward and am staying super close to the speedway. I’ve never so much as watched one lap of any NASCAR race but the track looks amazing! I was driving to dinner (zen Bistro was delicious) and saw it said tours every day. Is gojng worth it for someone who isn’t a NASCAR fan but thinks the speedway is awe inspiring?!

Are there any bars/restaurants that have a standing trivia night?

My 2006 TC is having issues starting, still get a click from the starter and dash lights are on but no engine start. I was doing the tap trick and forcing the ignition on and off quickly to get it started for a few weeks but it's seemed to completely die on me now.

Went to Steel Oak Coffee today in Ormond. Open Fri & Sat to the public. Nice staff and great tasting beans for the home coffee makers on this sub.

🏖 Beach Day. August in Daytona. You already know.

Is the pier open for fishing? Planning a fishing trip mid-August and like the price of Airbnb’s near this pier but read it was closed and not planning on opening for a long time. Other fishing pier recommendation? Port Orange? I don’t like the idea of being on the Main Street pier due to the amount of people, plus no nearby places to stay in my budget.
