Winter Season

Another winter season has come and gone in the Florida Keys. Year after year, the same people come to our community and spend 4 to 5 months with us. Some have been renting the same place for 15 years. We have made lifelong friends with some of them. The good news is that we will see them again in 6 or so months. Now comes the summer, when the locals from Miami come more often. We will swim in the canal and have good times with them.
This is a great reason why you should buy your keys retreat. Enjoy it in the summer and rent it out in the winter to people who will enjoy and take care of and your home.

Have you ever been through the Toilet Seat Channel?

It is located on the bayside just south of Tavernier Creek. There are over 200 decorated toilet seats as you go through the channel. The themes of these seats range from announcing anniversaries and weddings to mentioning long weekends and local businesses.  I love showing friends and family this channel. It is a 10 minute ride from our home.

A few years back, we decorated a toilet seat and hung it on the west side of the channel. We would drive by and see it all the time. It disappeared after a good storm. We still get a good laugh thinking of that creative seat and have pictures of it at home.

This is just one of the fun activities you can be enjoying in your keys retreat.

Contact me for more information.

Restaurants

One of my favorite things to do is getting to a restaurant by boat. After a day on the water, you pull up and enjoy a nice meal. Two of my favorite restaurants are Marker 88 and Island Grill. Each have their own personality.
Island Grill is a nice place to eat after being out on the Sandbar. It is located Oceanside on the south side of the Snake Creek bridge. The crunchy catch sandwich with yellowtail or hogfish is my favorite.
Marker 88 is located on the Bayside and a great place to see the sunset and have dinner right on the water. The lobster bisque is delicious.
With so many great restaurants in the keys, which is your favorite? Let me know.

Ocean Pointe

Ocean Pointe is a gated condo community consisting of 5 4-story buildings in Tavernier (mile marker 92) on the ocean side. Harry Harris Park, one of the few beaches in the upper Keys, is down the street. It is a pleasant drive from Miami, usually taking less than an hour and a half to get here. Some of the amenities include an in-house rental management program, docks, pool, tennis courts, boat trailer storage, boat ramp and waterfront bar.

I think this is a great investment property / weekend getaway.  You can enjoy your retreat and make some income when you are not using it.

There are currently 8 units available ranging from $319,000. to $449,000. For more information, feel free to contact me.

Dog Friendly

The Florida keys are extremely dog friendly. There are many restaurants and bars that allow you to bring

your pet. Most will even bring out a water bowl for your pet. Out on the water, you see a lot of pets on

boats. Our Lola enjoys going out on the boat with us
