Living the Dream..

                     Affordable housing in the Florida Keys..

Living the dream......  sometimes if you are not careful the dream lives you..

Lots of people live on boats here in the Florida Keys.  Cheap living.. No rent, no utility bills, no property tax, no insurance, etc..   Most are living on sailboats and house boats...  This fellow is moored in Bow Channel near the KOA Campground on Sugerloaf Key.  Could not resist taking a pic with my I Phone as we were headed to the back country.. 

I should stop and chat with him some time.. bet he has a story....  probably a retired flats guide..

Housing prices have dropped dramatically.  Lately I have been fishing several anglers also interested in homes and properties.   If you are interested in a land based home ask Joan Kelley.
She grew up in the Keys, has a flats skiff and fishes a lot.  She can answer any questions about water access, boat slips, boat storage, near by flats, etc..   She probably even knows the guy in Bow Channel......
