West Coast FL help

[BlueHUMMERH2]

Sanibel and Captiva are great. Went there on my honeymoon.... They were badly damaged by a hurricane a few years ago.

There's Venice beach, and the small island to the south was really cool. One secluded house there had an H1 parked in a wooded drive past the gates. But the top half of the island was wooded, and had a National Covered Highway or something like that for the tree canopy over the road. I think it was Manasota Beach near Englewood. Somewhere near here I think:

What about Marco Island?

[Hmmm2]

Hmmmmm .. Sanibel/Captiva ... I don't about actually know about living there permanently. Could feel a little isolated and transient with all the snowbirds popping in and out for the beaches. Sarasota is a clean, organized town .. couldn't go wrong there. (I have NEVER liked circuses .. so the constant reminder of the "Circus Headquarters" would a constant reminder ..lol). Fort Myers Beach is fine, too. Even Naples .. has a mix of beach houses (small beach homes) up to upscale. Marco Island ... remote and had a big influx of the Miami folks when Marco was being built years ago. I'd probably move somewheres between Naples and Sarasota. Anywheres inland gets a little redneck .. be careful. The Gulf is beautiful ... calm and warm. Make sure you get to Sanibel Island frequently .. you WON'T believe the amazing shells that roll in 24/7. Get a couple of sand lounges, lay back, enjoy the warm breezes as you drift in and out of sleep... watch the sunset. I love it. When are you planning your move?

Not until the end of summer, if at all. We're planning a trip for a week two to look at some places.

Naples = old people
