Margarita Ball Daytona Beach

Margarita Ball 2019


The 2019 Margarita Ball is tomorrow, November 22nd at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach.  This annual event is in its 33rd year and is sure to be a showstopper. This charity event is invitation only and is held to collect toys for needy children in the Volusia County area. 

Each year, roughly 20 charities are selected to receive toys to distribute to families that need a hand up to make Christmas bright for their children.  Our goal this year is to collect 5,000 toys so our guest will come loaded down with unwrapped presents at the Ball.

Mark and Jennifer Card are one of the 25 couples that serve on the Margarita Society of Volusia County Board of Directors.

The Margarita Society is committed to children in the community and will be helping the following charities for 2019.

Sold in Margaritaville

Margaritaville Home Sold


New construction homes in Latitude Margaritaville are selling quickly.  We can attest to this, because we have been working with several buyers that have been "on the fence" between lots and model choices. When they contact us to make their move toward buying, the lots are already sold. 

Luckily, a couple we have recently be working with to purchase a single family home in Margaritaville found the perfect lot for them in Phase 3A.

We are now in the process of solidifying the contract with the builder and working through the construction process with them.  If everything goes according to plan, their builder should have their home completed as early as May 2020. 

There are areas in Margaritaville that will be completed prior to the May timeline, and we are able to share with you which lots and models are available at this time. 

The Coconut floorplan is the one this couple chose and it has a fabulous open layout.  The kitchen opens directly to the living room area, which makes this model ideal for entertaining.  At a total of 2397 sqft. total and 1684 sqft. of living area, you'll find that when you enter the home through the 8 ft. door, that you are led into an amazing living room area. The home is a 2 bedroom 2 bath, but also has a den that is ideal for guests, and especially as an office or hobby room.  What's more is that the lanai is 25 ft. long across the back. 

The buyers are so excited to be a part of this amazing community.  They will no longer have to maintain their lawn, as that is part of the HOA fee.  There are gates so that any visitors will need to stop there to gain entry.  The town center is filled with plenty of activities like swimming, tennis/pickleball, fitness, and also has a business center, restaurant and bar, bocce ball and even a band shell.  The private beach club is in the works and there are shuttles that take residents back and forth.

If you've been searching for homes for sale in Margaritaville, give us a call.  We'd be happy to help you find your way so that you don't step on any pop tops along the road to your new Latitude Margaritaville home. 

The Mark Card Team has over 40 years of combined experience to help you find just the right home and works diligently to create a smooth move for you.  Give us a shout at 386-566-8091.
