Plantation Point has a lot of new faces over the last several months as we have seen a record number of homes turn over. Lets extend a BIG WELCOME to the following new neighbors and great to have you in our beautiful community.
Michael and Krestin Biagini – 1224 HPT (lot 21) have been busy with a major remodel and no strangers to Amelia Island having lived here for several years. Krestin has a design business and Michael works in software implementation. Krestin has done some notable projects on island including Amelia Island Tavern and a new project “POGO’s” across the street where the old Gourmet Gourmet used to be. They have two girls Mary Francis (12) and Katie (9), and two dogs, Bella and Fenway, Do ya think they might be BOSOX fans?
Mark and Lora Frankenberg are no strangers to Plantation Point having lived here at 1367 MSC (lot 31) for three years. They appreciated the quiet and friendly environment so much they purchased the home in May. Lora can be seen riding her bike around the neighborhood almost any morning and Mark is likely to be found working in the yard.

Steve is originally from Illinois (Charleston & Chicago area) and Patti grew up in the Hudson Valley (Poughkeepsie) in New York. Steve is looking forward to year round golf and both are looking forward to enjoying all that Amelia Island has to offer.
Unofficial census would indicate the following:
- Our average age is dropping
- We have doubled the number of kids
- Added six new doggies
- Chuck Sciarini commented that we have also increased our Italian American population – and he likes that!
New residents always bring new energy to the community with updated properties, new ideas and new people to enjoy. A sincere welcome to you all and whatever we can do to make your transition easier – please let us know.
