We stopped to see Anne's Beach, Sandal Factory outlet and stopped to say "hi" to Big Betsy, giant lobster in Islamorada, ate delicious Pie at Blond Giraffe Key Lime Factory in Tavernier, stopped at the amazing Seven Mile Bridge, we reached the southernmost Point and much more!

Awesome video, Mark! You conveyed a lot of great information. Diana and I drove down to Key West in 2018 and had planned to return this past summer of 2020. However, as you well know that summer sucked and we were on lockdown for a while. Driving down to Key West I was pleasantly surprised at all of the islands' offerings. Being from Maui I felt as though I were going home. I finally called it quits and retired a second time (first retired from the Air Force in 1988). We recently experienced a power outage that lasted 34 hours and I looked at Diana and said we are moving to Florida. She nodded and said ok! We have family and friends throughout Florida on both sides of the peninsula. We prefer the Gulf side and are considering Tampa and Clearwater. We will rent initially until we find what we want. If it was just me I would move to Marathon or Key West. l am an avid water sportsman. Diana did not like the drive from Miami to Key West and back to Miami. She wanted to fly to Miami and I would pick her up at the airport. We stopped once to stay at a hotel and ate at a super nice restaurant which appeased her.

Well done sir, Home Depot is all I need as far as Big Box stores.

Major kudos for promoting "buying local" ! As far as groceries, I found that moving from IN to FL, milk is much more expensive than I was accustomed too. No one uses milk as a loss leader like grocery stores in the midwest. Also if your're not familiar with Publix and Winn Dixie, both embrace BOGO pricing which is great as long as your buy during their ad. Otherwise, items can be pricey compared to retailers "up north". Love your channel, keep em comin 😎 Doug

@GablesOnTheGo

Yes I agree with you on the BOGO pricing, it can be a bit deceiving sometimes! We find that overall, our groceries cost only slightly more than we were paying in GA...really not enough to make much of a difference. Milk is definitely one of those items that blows the curve however! Thanks so much for watching!!

Gas is about 10 cents /gal cheaper at the racetrack staion mainland, than at the 2 cheapest places in marathon. Key west is about 35-45 cents more a gal. I always fill up in marathon.

I may not have made my point on the gas thing as clear as I should have in the video...what I was trying to say is that often the stations in Florida City are lined up with people waiting to get fuel....I have found the few cents a gallon it might cost me to come on into the Keys was really not worth my time waiting in Florida City. I think people that are not familiar with the Keys have the impression that they won't be able to get fuel for miles and miles when they get down here...and that's just not the case.

I so bad want to move to the keys! I've been to the keys at least once a year my entire life. My grandfather started the tradition of vacationing in the keys when my dad was little, my dad continued the tradition when I was little and now I'm continuing the tradition with my children. Unfortunately the housing market is very expensive and being a fireman is the only work background I have that would provide me with a livable wage. From what I hear, firemen in the Keys are volunteer. My wife is a nurse, but I heard nurses are better off working in the mainland in Miami, so it'd be a long commute for her. Maybe one day when I retire I will be able to finally live my dream in the Keys. I'll definitely be giving you a call about bringing my boat down there. I just purchased a boat and I was planning on taking it with me when I come down in October but decided I would wait till next year after I get some more information. Perhaps next year we will give Airbnb a try and get one with a dock and a driveway to keep my trailer.

We wanted to book a boat ride to the Dry Tortugas in August, we ran into two problems. The Charter to Dry Tortugas is booked 3 months in advance and the Hotel, rooms are $300-600 per night. We were going to book a Hotel in Homestead Florida instead, except that would be a 3 hour drive so we would have to get up at 3:30AM in the morning to take the charter.

Thanks for watching! True beaches are sort of scarce down here, the Keys are mostly rock and coral. Bahia Honda State Park has one of the most popular beaches and that is just over the seven mile bridge from Marathon close to Big Pine. There is a really nice beach in Marathon called Sombrero Beach. It has a very nice park for the cookouts and playgrounds for the kids and a lovely beach. There are many rental homes on the water very close to this beach. Take a look at our website at www.keysrentalsonline.com and you can browse properties. Laurie and I don't handle the rentals directly just the home sales, but the folks in our rental division will be glad to help you find the perfect spot!

@@GablesOnTheGo thank you!!

Mark, I didn't know that renting homes for less than 28-days was legal in the city of Marathon. I only knew of the KCB exemption and otherwise the pliable, 'extra-legal' wink-wink, nod-nod deals! I'd like to rent a nice place right on the water for a week next year. I'll contact you when my plans firm up. Thanks, Matt

No winks or nods needed...Marathon can do short term when properly permitted for such. Give me a call!

Some good tips. My wife and I have been thinking about getting a place in the Keys and it seems like traveling up and down the Keys by boat is much faster than taking the Overseas Highway. First, is that true? Second, if so, how difficult is it to find a place to dock in the various Keys? For example, if you took your boat down to Key West, are there temporary marina spots readily available in Key West? How about other Keys?
