Anyone live in the Keys, Florida!?!?!?!

DON'T GO, YOU WILL BE MOBBED BY ELDERLY GAYS WITH CANDY

No shit? Damn.



Nah, I'm just looking for a contact that can help me locate housing, etc.

I see rainbows and stirrups in your future.

here is a house for you, google earth the address, how cool would that be to have your boat docked at the back door.

Not there yet, we're moving in about a month.

Beautiful place but very expensive and cost of living is crazy.A little four room house can cost as much as a mansion elsewhere.
Couldnt believe the price for some of the old 1 bedroom mobile homes in the trailer parks there.

no but my homie owns off the hook comedy club

I vacation in and around Marathon key. Spectacular life style. Bring money.

Lived there 79-80-81 boy those days were a blast..but it was expensive even back then paid 500 mth for a sardine can of a trailer OMG it would get so hot plus deposits on everything..Worked at Marathon Liquors at the Side Door bar...for Ralph (Now a package store and rest)and he's still kicking.

What fun!! Hooked back up with the bouncer and his wife after 33 years and hit the abaco island for a cool vacation..
We all are just a tiny bit older...but still can party.
Made for wonderful memories, it's beautiful....The Key Lime Pie Band , Marilynn and Joe were great to listen to at Fara Blanco (Now gone I heard)Brass Monkey,The Cracked Conche rest...Idle Hour Bar another one gone... CoCo Plum...there use be have a wild ass party on monkey Island off sombreo beach the stories...

so many distractions its can be hard on a relationship

the keys are overpriced and overrated.
reminds me of a hot humid slum.

Bring loads of cash, you will need it. Local business down's like to hire unless you've been local for at least a year because it's so expensive people leave pretty quick, (no income). Besides, the job market is very, very bad...ever since the housing collapse. No one will hire you if you are staying in a motel.

You will need at least 3 months rent up front, and even then you may have a hard time finding someone to rent to you, again, the local thing. Figure at least around a thousand a month for a crap rental, plus utilities. Deposits run about 150 each for electric, water, etc.

Not many sandy beaches since the Keys are all coral rock. The second year you can develop an allergy to the coral dust, so prepare for that.

It's hot as hell, and you get used to the bugs.

Good Luck!!

Are you gay? If yes, you'll fit right in. Straight? not so much. It was a nice place back in '87

I lived in Islamorada about 10 years ago.
I made serious money at a local night club- but paid 1100 per month for a dumpy 3 bedroom 1 bath home. We had to grocery shop in Homestead because the food prices were insane!
I loved the keys though. I miss the fishing!
