I have not written anything about Marina Grande on the Halifax in Holly Hill, a small town in Daytona Beach area, and not because there was no drama there. There was and is plenty of drama there.

Could easily be a boater dream house. This fully remodeled 2003 sf Two Bdr/1 Bath Home with an office on the ground level with a brand new dock could be a perfect feet for an avid boater.
