The Island Life Grill | Fleming Island Florida Welcome The Island Life Grill to Fleming Island Florida! We finally have what Fleming Island residents have wanted for so long - an upscale restaurant serving fish, steak and other fine dishes to save us from having to go "over the bridge" for a really good meal. The Island Life Grill is located in the Fleming Island Plantation downtown area, at the end of the street on the left hand side. Their lunch and dinner menus are very diverse and they have copied some dishes from places "across the bridge" that are so good, well, you won't have to go far from home to satisfy your fishy cravings! We tried the Fried Calamari, Grilled Ahi Tuna, and Rock Shrimp "Island" Style and everything was delicious. We sat outside on a pleasant evening - great pl...

Eagle Harbor Hail Damage If you live in Eagle Harbor, you probably have noticed roofing trucks at various houses and received flyers in your mail box alerting you to the fact that there was a hail storm last summer and your roof may have damage. You have also probably seen some roofs being replaced. Here is a photo of a roofer on our roof last week examining all sides to assess whether or not we had hail damage. If you have someone look at your roof, be sure that it is a company that you know and respect. Get references and get a second opinion. The first person who looked at our roof said we didn't have any damage. The guy who looked at it last week said we had damage on all four sides. The first person we didn't know. The guy last week we have done business with and they have an excel...
