Exclusive selection: The top 9 music shops of Point Baker

Very friendly staff mixed my bass for me.

Great customer service

Great experience. I took 2 of my guitars to get restrung and tuned. They did a great job. I went back the following week and took my grandson with me to pick out a guitar strap. Love the strap he got! We also were pleased with their customer service and knowledge. Great place.

Interesting if you play an instrument

Can’t think of his name,but he sings real perty n gots sexy brown eyes-he helped me find some picks w/gritty edge so I can hold on 2 em n set of guitar strings n lil prizes 4 Bluegrass boys at PJC 2morrow nite–

Very helpful staff

My one time teacher could teach the basic but did not know how to play on my instrument. The owner charged me for a whole month of lessons for my one time lesson. Did he need the money that bad?

Dropped off a American Fender Strat Highway One HSS to get set up and get a fresh set of string. They lowered the action to low so now I have fret buzz on the low E just picking the string and fret buzz all the way down the neck on the low E and the A string. Pickups are way to low still. The bridge (closest to neck) pickup on the low E side is almost flush with pick guard still. Mid pickup is in the same place, and the pickup on the humbucker closest to the tremolo is still tilted at an angle. The tremolo is almost completely flush with the guitar. I can lift the whammy bar maybe a 1/4 inch at best before its flush with the guitar with no more room to work. And, as far as pushing it down maybe an inch before I start to feel to much tension. I’ve seen on line where people have a whole lot more give on the whammy bar almost being able to push it as far down where its nearly touching the guitar.

Outstanding music! All genes covered. Perfect evening.

Seen this group a couple of times. Last time in Milton at Bands on the Blackwater. Great group. Music is done very well and looking forward to seeing them again.

Awesome band!

Our son has been learning piano here for 2 years and he loves it and is learning so much.

Julie is the teacher you want for your child. She trains creative musicians, rather than students who simply play songs. She understands the needs of growing children in order to foster an ideal learning environment of movement and humor. She teaches from the heart to the heart of the child. Plus, the music is fun!

Ms. Julie is AMAZING!!! She is so awesome and patient, professional and kind! Highly recommend to anyone new or experienced! I have watched my daughter bloom over the last 6 months 🙂

When I moved to Milton from Pensacola they were very friendly and had my water on quickly. I do however wish that they had an online payment option because I had to buy checks for the first time in 5 years!

Great company! They don’t waist money on unnecessary updates, this keeps our water bills lower! Thanks to the staff and owners/members. I hope they can bring Gas into our homes With same good prices.

This company and it’s employees are top-notch!! They went above and beyond to help me on my land project…..I can’t thank them enough.

The people are friendly and helpful. The lack of technology is a pain as everyone else in the modern world has electronic bill pay. Also, we were accidentally credited on our account and for 2 months we asked about only to receive a letter stating we owed two months back water payment for a discrepancy on their part.

They do not take debit or credit. To pay the bill you must either mail it or physically take it to their drop box. In a time where even vending machines have debit/credit card capability you would expect a utility company to have this option.

This does not reflect on their product, the water taste is not unpleasant and their customer service is great. They are quick to fix any issue.

The staff is great. Always very nice when I can actually make it up there during business hours to pay my bill. I do wish they would create online bill pay. What I do instead is write a check to cover at least six months of water bills so that I only have to physically take a check up there twice a year (I rarely use above minimum usage). I do appreciate that they at least allow that. Online bill pay would be much easier though.

It’s like living in the 80’s, but worse. They could have blinded me! Here’s what happened: I awoke and started on a project in my garage, one thing led to another and I got some chemical spray in my eye. I stumbled to my sink to rinse my eyes and I found that no water was coming out of my sink, my neighbors weren’t home so I had to run out to my dirty pool and splash water in my eyes for 15 minutes. Point baker gives ABSOLUTELY NO warning on shut off dates, no letter, no call, nothing! Then they charge $30 to turn it back on. They have no online or over the phone options to pay the bill. You have to drive to their office and pay with cash. Either they have engineered this system of making it very difficult to keep the water on only to charge the $30 fee to turn it on and earning them extra money, or they haven’t updated their business for decades. I’m a small business owner and it’s hard enough running it without having to deal with this archaic system, thank God my business uses Milton Water.

Really wish yall would come into the 21st century…no on line bill pay nor do you take debit cards…this is very inconvenient for your customers and so 1980…

This is a lengthy review so bare with me.
Let me go ahead and lay everything out for y’all.

The people here are not friendly and neither is their manager. They all seem to have a attitude anytime we speak to someone regarding anything.

My Fiancé bought 17acres towards Milton with a home on it for his mother and us. His mother currently resides in the home that is on the property. When he bought the property he went ahead and put himself and his mother on the deed.
Shortly after him and his mother went on and ahead and had a survey done and had the land separated into parcel one and parcel 2. For our parcel we have done went and got the 2nd address and anything else we may need before our mobile homes gets here. Now keep in mind There is already a existing drive way onto the property which we intend on just sharing. There is no reason for a second drive way. Now almost a year later we are trying to put a mobile home on the property. The people (including the manager ) at Point Baker Water System is giving us the hardest time to just DROP a water meter so we can have water run out to the property where our home is going to be . Now we have till the end of April to get our permits in for our home or else we have to pay $5,000-$4,000 for permits bc of the new law Florida has passed. We can not get our permits done till we show there is water running where we are going to be putting our home. The people told us last week we needed $1,600 for the water meter . This morning we go up there to pay for it and the manger tells us NO! We now need a second easement added onto our land Survey for this guy at the water board. All because he is concerned about our personal business later on in the future we may or may not have which has nothing to do with them/him. They just manage from the water meter to the road. What goes on in our lives and in the property is none of their business or concern. So we called around and went above his head to Santa Rosa Public Works. So now because we have done that he is now telling us he don’t want a easement he wants another actual driveway. Which he can NOT do because that is the county’s job to determine if we need a second drive way or not. When we spoke to them they told us all we need is a drive way permit which is free and they will then come and inspect it for free in 7-10 business day’s. After it’s inspected and we have our driveway permit to take that up to the Point Baker Water Board and we should be good to go to have the second water meter dropped. We then proceeded to call Point Baker Water Companies manger back about our findings he proceeds to tell us just because the county doesn’t require to have the easement doesn’t mean he has to fallow their requirements he can make up any requirements he feels he may want from people.Then he hung up on us before we had a chance to even reply. We shouldn’t have to be jumping through hoops like this and forking our more money than we should.This shouldn’t be like having to to go through the act of Congress.This has turned into a very expensive and very stressful situation that no one should have to go through. Let along a horrible experience. If we could use a different water company we would in a heart beat!

Always a great deal! This shoppe knows the product, and there’s plenty of it. A local venue that offers education and gear is a gem. Take advantage!

I’ve been playing guitar over 50 years, and on a whim, started lessons with Nate Smith, the owner of ARC Music. He’s phenominal!!! I’ve spiced up my playing tenfold in the past three months of lessons. I strongly recommend him for lessons, as well as vintage and used gear! I bought three guitars this year from him.

Nate is always awesome to talk to.. took about 6 lessons and got significantly better in a short amount of time.. Definitely recommend stopping by this little shop!

I’m honestly shocked at all of the good reviews this place has. This is a guitar shop, not so much a versatile music shop as I had originally anticipated; and they let that be known as soon as I started to inquire about flute accessories and information. The guy was unfriendly and short saying, “we really only work on guitars here” and seemed disingenuous and annoyed that I was even there asking about stuff for a flute. I’m appreciative that I was able to leave with a little something of a cleaning kit but, I have never felt so unwelcome in a shop like that before and will not be going to this “music store” again. They should probably change the sign to “guitar store” in the near future to avoid anymore awkward, uncomfortable encounters.

We love Mr. Adam. He is so enthusiastic and encouraging to my son. We have enjoyed every lesson for the past 2 years. My son is thriving with his music abilities thanks to this school and Mr. Adam.

Adam is a great music teacher, he is very patient and really knowledgeable !

It was awesome today I went today for guitar lessons it was awesome he’s awesome teacher thank you Jesus for Mr Adam the best place ever I been to I love this place it awesome he’s I love the same things as me I recommend Music Academy I love your music Mr Adam it was a honor to meet him I’ll be there every Tuesday

Great place, great service, and a nice selection of all instruments and accessories.

Great place .

The staff was very helpful and extremely pleasant to work with. I definitely plan on us Music Mart for any future purchases. I also Loved the Studio!!

Unfortunately what I needed and what I bought weren’t the same thing. More than likely won’t be returning it because I am hardly down that way. The store seemed to have a lot of a variety so definitely if you are in the market for musical items or gear check them out! Has a friendly dog to greet you which is a bonus.

Great service and had exactly what I needed

First off if you need some guitar picks and don’t want to drive to fort Walton then this place is great but as far as guitars and amps. They only have cheap no name guitars. Amp wise they carry old stuff. This guy does not carry amps that are decent, they carry Justin which is like buying an amp from radio shack. They do not carry Marshall or blackstar or box or Gibson or schecter or even Ibanez. If he would carry some of the major bands then he would get a lot of business especially since leitz just closed.don’t ask the dude any questions about the gear because he has no musical knowledge, he just wells the stuff, he does have some pedals but don’t expect to find anything decent like a boss pedal or any multi effect pedals. Honestly I think this place is nothing but a joke
