Advice on Getting a contractor for permit work

Hi - I have a house in Cocoa Beach (4+2 bungalow) that I am looking to renovate. I currently live out of state. Just trying to get an idea if the following is normal, or just my experience. I spoke to a couple of contractors, and asked one to quote on the work. Part of the quote was a non-refundable “plan” for a few grand. The process took a month to get the plan and the quote. The quote was 2-3x what I was expecting (I’ve done a number of Reno’s elsewhere). So I cut my losses but at least still had a plan. Now after engaging other contractors they are saying they need to do their own plan with a quote to follow. Is this normal practise around here? Any recommendations for a no-nonsense contractor? Thanks all!

Large Trash Pickup

I’m seeing more and more people locally put large trash out on the street like couches, dressers, etc. I know there were complaints that there wasn’t a large garbage pickup after Milton. Is there one coming or are people just assuming it’ll magically disappear?

Probably already asked, but…

I am either flying in or taking the train in from Savannah and was looking for an easy way to get from Orlando to either Cocoa Beach or Melbourne without spending a freaking fortune. Don’t really want to rent a car and don’t like the idea of rideshare for that kind of a trip, any other options? Bus is OK With me. Gonna be spending about two weeks in the Cocoa Beach area. Any help appreciated.

Missing some of the best things in Cocoa Beach

I was reading this post about Cocoa Beach and I feel like this girl has missed a few things! What about the bioluminescent kayak tour? And I always love Florida’s Seafood Bar & Grill too.

Sightseeing/ Places to go

Visiting cocoa beach/ meritt island for 2 more weeks. Ive check out a few spots but a lot of the beachs on this strip look the same. I’m looking for ideas geared towards spaces attraction’s, national parks/ outdoors stuff. I’d like some recommendations and suggestions. Things already planned: Kennedy Space Center Bioluminescence kayaking Trip to everglads and airboat ride Possibly jet up left side over skybridge into clear water beach and st. Petes. Maybe skip tampa Heard st aguestines is worth checking out north. Best area to surf? Cocoa beach near the hiltons was alright. Looking at a tiki boat ride/ dolphin sight seeing. Maybe rent an ebike and cruise the beach. Thanks in advance

Riding on the beach?

I just moved to the area and still don’t know all the rules so sorry if this is a stupid question… are there any rules against riding electric scooters or bikes on the beach? There’s lots of rental places so I think it’d be fun to ride an electric bike on the sand. Is that allowed? Thank you :) Also unrelated but is there a beach nearby you can drive onto? Thanks again

Question for the sailing community

Are there any free anchorages around for a couple weeks? I’ve found marinas, mostly month to month, but I’m just looking for a spot to anchor and/or moor for a couple weeks before moving northward. I’ve seen a lot of anchored boats around Indian river and was wondering what the legality was in regards to anchoring.

Best Beach Bar/Restaurant

Last night in Cocoa/Merritt Island and I really want to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather by the water with a nice drink and something delicious to eat. We’ve done The Pier and Coconuts. So, where do the people in the know go to enjoy a nice night (preferably with drinks not rum based)?

Thank you for having such a lovely town.
