We have some property in Sebastian Beach but don't live there. My wifes friend just moved to St Augustine a month ago and we will most likely be visiting them from time to time. I know its a pain trying to get through this dysfunctional government bureaucracy but once its behind you, all is good. My wife has been here 3 yrs now and is still adjusting ...haha Maybe I should have married a younger girl lol that wasn't so set in her ways... Take Care
