transient license: PRICE REDUCTION - 611 Southard Street #5, Key West Florida - 07/13/16 11:55 PM

The unit has a highly desired transient rental license which means the unit can be rented nightly without any limitation as to the number of days or weeks that a vacationer might want to spend.

transient license: 1500 Atlantic Boulevard Unit 108, Key West - Oceanfront Living at It's Best - 10/29/15 01:18 AM

Key West is a little island at the tail end of America - the southernmost point in the continental United States. You'd think a lot homes here would be located by the water. The fact of the matter is that very few are. There are perhaps ten or so single family homes located on the water. The condominiums at the Key West Beach Club are the only condominiums where each unit has a spectacular direct water front location. 


As soon as you enter this unit your eyes are drawn to the ocean view which faces south. You see the horizon where water … (0 comments)

Model Unit Photos - Key West Beachside Resort A lot of people in my generation (the baby boomers) are already making plans as to where they will spend their reclining years.

Except there are going be so many of us soon-to-be-retirees that there may be a run on retirement places in Florida. I don't think our generation will be ready for the nursing home type facility. Instead I think a lot … (0 comments)

Instead, it is a very nicely furnished two bedroom, two bath unit with a boat slip and a transient license … (2 comments)

I don't normally write about properties that I have sold. There are plenty of other agents in town who will tout how wonderful they are and how many properties they have sold.

My investigation included calling out the Navy Blimp, an aerial photographer, and looking at the Monroe County Property Appraiser's website where I got to see how hidden the property is. See below.The listing Realtor … (0 comments)
