The Coastal Home Group Team

Nikki-Lyn Holm has always been a wine and food enthusiast, so she couldn't be more excited to share some of  her team's favorite local Saint Johns County hot spots with our readers.


A fun fact about Nikki-Lyn, is although she has been in real estate for almost a decade now, she did dabble in culinary school for a short period of time.  Her brother is actually an owner of a restaurant in Daytona Beach, and they may be bringing one up here some day.  In the meantime, here are a few of The Coastal Home Groups FAVES and why:

1928 Cuban Bistro: They love the tropical vibes, friendly staff, fresh salads, and of course the cafe con leche.

Vito's Italian Restaurant: This hot spot in Fruit Cove  has been one of Nikki and her family's go-to restaurants for authentic Sicilian food, and family gatherings. The owner, Chef Guilio is so warm and friendly, and always checking on his patrons.  We especially love that they have live music in their bar area most weekend nights.  Nikki’s favorite meal  is Vito's Salad and the Chicken Ala Rosa.

Ember and Iron: We love our E & I. We have hosted brunch events on the patio, and wine gatherings at the Chef's Table. Their scratch kitchen  food is heavenly. Nikki’s favorite choice is their filet...all day.

Clean Juice:  From the time they opened, Nikki became addicted. She loves their Coffee One, Avocado Protein Toast, Cold-Pressed Juices, and patio vibes. From becoming such a regular raving fan, the owner invited Nikki to be a Juice Booster, and she has loved sharing the healthy offerings with clients, team members, and friends.

The Coastal Wine Market & Tasting Room: Another great spot that offers everything these ladies love: atmosphere, location, great happy hour selections, wine, and oh let's talk about their Ahi Tuna Tartare or their Angus Sliders.  Such a wonderful place to celebrate with friends, have a client meeting, or simply catch up one-on-one.

The Coastal Home Group is a proud second year sponsor of the PEC Thanksgiving Turkey Trot in Nocatee. Registration is open and the proceeds will benefit St. Johns Cares!


The Coastal Home Group will be hosting their annual Holiday Market and Photos With Santa  on December 3rd at Clean Juice in Nocatee from 11am-2pm. This event is open to the community, and will have live music and a few fun vendors to shop with.  (Follow them on social media for more information on their events)

What truly sets them apart is their market knowledge, genuine warmth, and ability to treat their clients as they would want to be treated. “Navigating clients from a Platinum Rule mindset is the biggest difference,” says Nikki.
The Coastal Home Group strives to really get to know their client’s tastes and preferences and customizes their home search or selling experience to reflect this. The entire team is thankful to live, work, and raise their families in St. Johns Florida with its amazing weather, top rated-schools, and high quality of life.


The ladies of TCHG  love hosting client and community events, and they often meet at local coffee shops and restaurants where they collaborate on how to best serve their clients. The team thought it would be fun to share their favorites with St. Johns Magazine readers.
