Last month we mentioned that our marketing theme for 2014 is “I Love Plantation Bay”. Here’s another one of our billboards you might see while in the area:
In that spirit of that theme, we’re periodically sharing thoughts from our residents about why it is they love living in Plantation Bay so much.
Last weekend Club de Bonmont and Prestwick hosted the Men’s Member Guest Golf Tournament.
This is always one of the most anticipated events on the Plantation Bay calendar, and this year’s event was one of the best ever. The weather was spectacular for the entire week and the players enjoyed a fun round robin format competition and great food service during the tournament.
The event began on Thursday April 3rd, with a Skills Challenge encompassing putting, chipping, and closest to the pin contests.
One-thing new Plantation Bay residents often comment on is the amount of wildlife they regularly encounter throughout the community.
Just check out this video testimonial from one of our Plantation Bay residents…
Unlike a lot of other Florida communities built in areas that have essentially been bulldozed and cleared for development, much of Plantation Bay has been purposely undeveloped and left in its natural state. As a result, it is a habitat for an array of Florida wildlife species, some that are friendly, and others you’ll want to avoid.
This Sunday (April 6th) ICI Homes will host “Music in the Park” at Prestwick Parke in Plantation Bay from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Now in its 10th year, this semiannual event is a resident favorite, and is expected to be attended by more than 300 Plantation Bay residents.
As the name suggests, there will be plenty of live music including jazz, old time rock, and upbeat dance music.
The Easter Bunny brings more than just hard-boiled eggs and candy to residents of Plantation Bay during the month of April.
With spring officially here, golf tournament season is coming down the home stretch with multiple events scheduled to close out the season, including the Mixed Club Championship, the Men’s Member Guest Golf Tournament, and the Children’s Museum Golf Classic.
The month of April will also be bringing us a new schedule of social events, a new lineup of Tuesday night dinner specials, and even a new weekly special at Club de Bonmont.
The 2014 Parade of Homes is upon us, and this year we actually have three Plantation Bay homes entered in the parade.
The parade officially runs March 22 through March 30, and during that time the following homes will be open Monday through Saturday 10-5 p.m. and Sunday 12-5 p.m.
The areas around Plantation Bay and Ormond Beach are filled with great places to relax with an evening cocktail. Some of the best bars and pubs in all of Florida are located right in this area. Many of them are well known by local residents, but there are also some hidden gems that you might not have heard about.
Here are some of the most popular bars and pubs in the Ormond Beach area:
Located just 15 minutes from Plantation Bay, Tomoka State Park provides local residents with all the natural amenities one would expect from a state park, only this one is right in your own backyard.
The park is a natural peninsula, created by the Tomoka River and the Halifax River. It offers a wide range of amenities, including boating and fishing facilities, camping and picnic facilities, a nature trail, and a museum.
97% of our customers say that they would recommend ICI Homes and Plantation Bay to their friends and family, and a third of all our new home sales come as a result of resident referrals.
So it’s safe to say that residents LOVE Plantation Bay.
So much so that we decided to build our entire 2014 marketing plan around the theme of “I Love Plantation Bay”.
