Tiny Waterfront Getaway Home in the Florida Keys...Unique!!

[@PaulaGray-f2i]

My husband and i just want to congratulate you and your team for being number one! We visited Marathon and noticed the recognition on the sign at the Coco Plum office. My husband has been a long-time subscriber and now has me watching. We enjoy your videos and they keep us in touch with Marathon. Thanks!

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Thank you so much!

[@amandathemystic1828]

That little thing looks sturdy! Looks simple to fix things and maintain, and no lawn to maintain either 👍. Very simple, I love it. I’ve been seeing non waterfront vacant lots smaller than this for almost double. What a little gem 💎

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Thanks 👍

[@supersteve8305]

Nice little pad. I wish i was in the market for a place. I like the simplicity of it. Great crash pad.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

We think so as well!

[@ironmalice93]

wow great price! Thanks for sharing!

[@devangel3614]

It's got a lot of possibilities. Thanks for sharing this interesting property.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Our pleasure!

[@donnapatten285]

sounds crazy high priced but...so is everthing FJB

[@GablesOnTheGo]

We've got waterfront vacant lots with no home for twice that down here....waterfront commands the money down here for sure.

[@stevensaxon8888]

​@@GablesOnTheGocan you stay in the RV/camper/motorhome for more space?

[@alanknight4418]

That's crazy!

[@gulfbreezescapes4429]

What a shame it would be to tear that down. Place is perfect for so many people. Low maintenance, low cooling costs, true old Key vibes. Buy it and leave it alone 🙏.

[@DeniseHlavaty]

What a cute little place. Very reasonable. Thanks again for your time. Always love your videos.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Our pleasure!

[@jorgenecuze6184]

Thank you for the information keep the more affordable options coming….

[@GablesOnTheGo]

You bet!

[@danah358]

Just dont ask about the home insur and flood insur…

[@MichaelRei99]

I see the potential there for sure! The price didn’t seem out of whack. Key life ain’t cheap!!

[@GablesOnTheGo]

You are correct, Mike!

[@armandoalvarez835]

Great video guys! Enjoy watching all of the options available in Los Cayos!

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Thanks for watching!

[@jenniferestwin5814]

Beautiful place for a couple starter home❤Thank you 🙏

[@GablesOnTheGo]

It really is!

[@danah358]

A starter home for $500k?? Not at that price.

[@kevinsandells9933]

What an awesome little place . Thanks for the video .

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Glad you enjoyed it 😀

[@mickemike2148]

Ha! First to comment! Man, I miss the Keys!

[@elsie9649]

Omg.,.$ 500,000. You have to be kidding. I'll buy some great land on the lake in Oklahoma with 3 bedrooms!!

[@dougsmith7195]

Location Location Location, I’ve never dreamed of Oklahoma.

[@mmcleod111]

Oklahoma vs Key West?? LOL.

[@DereckCurry]

Hey Y'all! Thanks for the great videos over the years. They convinced my wife and I to spend a few days in Marathon on a recent trip through The Keys. But after visiting Marathon, we have a question: what the hell are those blue igloo things next to the Coco Plum Real Estate office? Thanks. Keep making the great videos.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

LOL now that's funny! That used to be a pool company. My broker purchased that property along with the building we are in now....she uses those igloos for storage right now...not sure what the plan will be there long term. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed your visit! Mark

[@DereckCurry]

@@GablesOnTheGo Thank you. We did enjoy our visit and will be sure to plan for a stay in Marathon on future trips to The Keys.

[@usa91787]

Always love your videos. We're headed down to Summerland again next March and hopefully, we'll be in a position by then to talk real estate with you guys. Do some of the Keys have a "no RV" ordinance? Obviously, Big Pine doesn't, if you can park one on this spot. - Jay

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Thanks for commenting, we'd be happy to help you any way we can. Parking an RV on your property down here is very commonplace, however there are strict ordinances about living in it...that's a no-no unless in a properly zoned are for it. Occasionally we will see HOA's with rules against parking boats and RV's here, but it is few places. Obviously this one is not one of those areas...No HOA.

[@dougsmith7195]

So, a lot that doesn’t have a building allotment is allowed to park a RV? Thanks for the video, cute place.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

It does have a building allocation...that is much of the basis of the price. Because the current house is there, you automatically have the right to tear that one down and build a new one if you choose.

[@dougsmith7195]

@@GablesOnTheGo I understand that, just asking about a lot without a building or building allotment, are you allowed to park a RV? Thanks

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Unfortunately the only areas here where you can live in your RV must be zoned for that purpose and is typically only the RV resorts. There are several nice ones down here where you can purchase the lot, live in your RV...AND have a building right to build on that lot when you want to. Venture Out in Cudjoe Key is an example of that set up. Give me a call any time if you need more information. Mark 770-561-6091

[@danah358]

Yes, Florida homeowners post-pandemic who are selling seem to have no idea of what the current true market value is. The inventory in FL is really piling up last couple months. The mortgage for this $500k 1 bed 1 ba + prop tax + crazy home insur + crazy flood insur + crazy auto insur if living there adds up to the equivalent monthly $ of a mansion in just about any other state.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

All true. However, there are still many of us that enjoy the Keys so much that paying these prices to live here is a reality for us. Some people drive Ferrari's and some drive Honda Civics....both great cars....just depends on the wants and needs of the owner. I'm a truck guy myself....no Ferrari for me.

[@kennethphilips3226]

Two questions. If the lot doesn't have a building allocation as you called it, can you get one? How deep is the canal there? Thanks, love your channel.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

You don't need a building allocation when a home is already on the lot....so that's sort of the whole point of this place, you could build a new home here on the waterfront and the building allocation is already in place. Hard to find in the Keys these days. the canal is 4-5 feet deep

[@kennethphilips3226]

Thankyou.

[@pamcornelius9122]

Half a million isn’t what it used to be.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Definitely not down here! Thanks for watching.

[@danah358]

Its not just the $500k, its all the other monthly costs like insur that buyers may not realize. Can’t imagine what the home/flood insur is at that location - velocity zone.

[@Kenscialoia]

1.Can you park an RV year round ? 2. Can you live in an Rv year round in this juridiction? So many rules I have to ask????

[@timechols8877]

How much is the insurance?

[@GablesOnTheGo]

They do not have insurance on it....I don't think it makes much sense to insure that home. It would be steep I would guess.

[@nathanielmurray8164]

Hey guys. that place would fit me perfectly. in Alabama it would cost $39,999

[@GablesOnTheGo]

I know right!

[@dgriffin6074]

What's that phrase? Oh, yeah; putting lipstick on a pig.

[@kerryneal5524]

Do you guys make more money with KZbin or Real Estate?

[@GablesOnTheGo]

We make VERY little from KZbin. The real estate is doing quite well!

[@kerryneal5524]

Thank you so much for the reply. Think of following in your footsteps in a few years.

[@adriannurse1502]

My gosh that has to be the smallest house ever. But, its in the Keys. What more needs to be said. Is there room to park a big Class A diesel pusher there? Is there room to maneuver one in and out? With County codes could you sleep in the RV?

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Yes there is room for a class A, however ordinances would not allow you to live in the RV. You can park it there and use the home as your living.

[@victorv3077]

[@mattp4079]

$535k with no short-term rentals allowed.

[@GablesOnTheGo]

Short term rentals ARE allowed.....28 nights...

[@geotrader123]

Better prices coming as recession is on its way bigtime....sorry..

[@GablesOnTheGo]

The Keys are still a unique market so falling home prices are not really affecting us.

[@danah358]

Price drops in FL are only beginning now, big drops to come.
