Welcome to February! As we settle into a new month, I would like to take a moment to thank each of you for helping make Pegel Point such a special place to call home. Living on the water offers us beautiful views, peaceful surroundings, and a strong sense of community that truly sets our neighborhood apart. February is a wonderful time to enjoy the simple pleasures of waterfront living with cool mornings, calm evenings, and the shared pride we take in maintaining our beautiful surroundings.
We look forward to a month filled with comfort, good health, and lots of Valentine’s Day love. Please feel free to reach out if you need assistance or have questions.
