I just spent my first winter down here as a resident. 1 night it made it down to 36 degrees. And you know what warning was issued when that happened? Iguanas May fall from the trees. I kid you not...

I used to have friends visit me in the winter months from time to time, and want me to take them to beach...

D., I either recall that happening when I lived in Miami, or something very similar that I don't recall exactly. But as Johnny Carson used to say, "weird, wild stuff" lol.
And you could be close to Dick Vitale and have breakfast with him mornings at the Broken Egg in The Village. I think he lives on the block leading from the Village to the ocean.
The Egg he regulars is on that corner.

Hilton Head is also nice.

When I vacationed in Siesta Key Sarasota for the winter my mother and I had a running joke that you could tell where everyone was from that time of year.
The natives were in long sleeves and long pants and had coats on. People from middle America were in shorts and t-shirts and the Canadians were swimming in the water.
People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
I ran into him once there, at Columbia's on Lido Key. We were both there having dinner. That was 2007 I believe.
Then I backed up and ran into him again just to be sure.

Lol. Funny, because true.

In Siesta Key a few years ago and a lady said this would be her last winter. Said it was just too cold and she was moving farther south. I asked her how cold it got in the winter. She said in the 70s...

A small update.
I have found a couple of places in N. Myrtle Beach (Crescent Beach area) I am going to do a virtual tour. Finding a 2BR direct OF is pretty rare so while it will be cooler in winter than we want, a 2BR under $200K direct OF may be too hard to pass up.
Keep us posted. I'm following closely on ideas. Thinking of moving to the panhandle where I can afford it, and visit Key West a lot. Probably in a rowboat.

Headline here is 2BR.. keep us informed.

Ok,
We got beat to the offer on the unit we wanted. We had found a 3rd Story OF 2BR/2BA Corner Unit (914sqft). It was in pretty good condition. Maybe needed some paint but appliances under 1 year old and beds/mattresses under 2 years with new HVAC 3 years ago. Only problem was small pool which our 12YO daughter did not like. But man, the HOA called to me at $384. They were asking $214,900. I was looking at options but had planned to offer about $205,000.
Well, someone grabbed that sucker at full price last night. Here was the unit: https://www.realtor.com/realestatean...-02557?view=qv
I did worry about steps as I age. My knees are not what they once were so maybe it was not meant to be!
We already have another lined up. I will update as we make moves!
^There's a show on HGTV called Beachfront Bargain Hunt that has a lot of properties at reasonable prices. I always thought if I were in the market I'd look at some of the locations where they shoot their episodes and search there.
U really think players are going to duke without being paid over Kentucky?--Gilbert Arenas, 9/12/19
I have a first floor unit condo in Naples simply due to that concern. I have multiple sclerosis and some days I can do steps and some days I can’t. So I couldn’t risk a necessary use of steps every day.
We watch BFBH all the time. But many times they really are not beachfront, but "in walking distance". Especially in FL except Panama City area. FL was just out of our price range. So was HHI.
Darrin, on the first floor...my wife does not like first. Wants elevated so she can see. Also worries more about storm damage and flooding on first floor. But in your case, it is 1st floor or elevator. I get it.
Guys, we now have an accepted offer on a 10th floor unit at Sands Beach Club in Myrtle Beach. 2Bed, 2Bath. Direct OF. Need to update bathrooms but that is style, not function. Got it for under $180K.
I wish it was under $625 HOA but will live with that for direct OF!
If it flys, floats, f@&$s, or its ocean front... rent it.

Congratulations, VirginiaCat! That's great.
NCAA basketball Final Four 2021 watch party at your place!
I wish I could. The Dear Wife has announced to me no one allowed to stay there until she has fully redecorated which includes remodels of master bath and kitchen and adding a Washer/Dryer Closet. I sense a lot of honeydos after 8 hours of driving in my future!
I actually enjoy redecorating/remodeling to satisfy my wife's "visions".
Redecorated the Family Room/Woman Cave this week.
Since I do 95% of the work it keeps it reasonable and by keeping the house more updated at least the kids will have a nice property to sell when Grammy and I graduate to Glory.
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
I've got a bunch of work to do on my house. Since you enjoy it, we need to talk.

Grammy gets a special deal; she is an awesome country cook and she takes very good care of me. Think of the Proverbs woman.I've got a bunch of work to do on my house. Since you enjoy it, we need to talk.
And, she is the Chairman of the Board, CEO, CFO and controlling partner of Cliffco; you will have to see if she can work you into her schedule.

Pappy, I wish I had those skills. I can paint and do basic stuff but tearing out a tub and sink/vanity and toilet go beyond my ability. Same with cabinets and counters in kitchen. And we are going to remove the wet bar and make a washer/dryer closet..

I thought the same thing but it is literally 5 steps to full kitchen from the wet bar...prefer that to walking to other end of the hallway to do laundry..or I should say my dear wife does...
