Love, Love, Love your channel! We really enjoy watching your videos! You both seem like amazing people and make such informative videos. We have only been to the Keys once but we really want to come back! We hope to get to visit soon! Thanks and can’t wait for the next video!!!
So glad I found your channel! Beautiful properties! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Loved this video! My mother rented at Venture Out for a month each year for a few years. It is a great place and enjoyed visiting her each year. Enjoying your Keys videos, especially since my husband lived there for a few years when his dad was at NAS Key West in the 60's. He always had great stories & memories.
Thanks for watching our channel and sharing!
Good morning y’all! I’m new to the channel. Thanks for taking me back to the Keys to see. I ‘m originally from South Florida, but moved out of state for more affordability and to enjoy some more Southern Hospitality where I currently live...LOL!!! So it’s nice to stay connected and see the Key’s life. BTW, nice zoom in on the Mutton Snappers the guy was filleting!!! Have a great day.
Laurie was interested in the Mutton Snapper!....we kinda like those for dinner!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Very good video. The high rise seems to be priced right, especially with the furniture included.. Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you! Will do!
Great info ! I like the different lots , something for everyone! Steven from Boston
Glad you enjoyed it!
Exactly what I was wondering!!!
Well now you know G! Come see us!
Great video and information! Thank you.😎
Glad it was helpful!
Wow great eye opener!!!
Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your video. My sister and her husband live there and we have been to Venture Out and love it. We’re from Nebraska so we spend a lot of time at the pool when there. Try the Square Grouper Restaurant close to there for some great food-our favorite place.
We've been wanting to try the Square Grouper everyone here raves about it....maybe one day soon!
I love it. Great video.
Thank you!
Great video!! Lots of options
Thanks for watching!
Great video, nicely done!
Thank you very much!
Hey guys great video, the house we bought in Marathon is next door to a house you guys featured on one of the first RE videos you did on 75th Street. We are almost done remodeling the house (pool and deck left to finish), if you guys ever want to do a video walk thru of what a before and after would look like if you purchase a fixer upper, we would be glad to do it. Keep the great videos coming.
That is awesome! Sure, shoot me an email and let's talk about it. That would make a great video! or give me a call 770-561-6091
Thank you for this! Islamorada is my soul home lol ❤️ Been going to the Keys since I was a child and it left it’s mark on my heart forever!! Been traveling there twice a year and am finally making the move to Isla next year to work at Robbies!!! Leaving my 9 to 5 sales job to get my captains license and come live the keys lifestyle and do eco tours. Tourists always confuse me as living there and ask me for directions or where the bathroom is, so I know I already fit in with the keys aesthetic 😂
Awesome! Glad to hear you are headed this way. Be sure to give us a call if you need a real estate agent!! 770-561-6091 Mark and Laurie Gable, Coco Plum Real Estate
Hey Guys just found your channel. I grew up down in Tavernier and go down about 3-4 times a year. You guys are doing a great job and living a dream. I got a few more years before I retire but my goal is to be back down there full time. Paradise. People who comment negative things about the prices and location just are not keys people.
Thanks for watching Ruben! When you get back down this way give us a shout! Best of luck with your plans!
Rv lots seem interesting. A little steep to park my trailer but an interesting concept.
Anyone else wish they had parents this happy?
That is sweet of you to say! We are super happy, but not just because of the Keys. The key to our happiness is attitude and respect.
Thankyou for all the comments very helpful !!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for sharing couple nice home
Our pleasure!
Would love to see more of these RV lots for sale. Hope you do more videos like this.
More to come!
Thank you for this video. My husband and I are looking into beach real estate options but don't necessarily want to buy a home. When we retire we want to spend some time in the keys. Never thought it was an option until now. Love the rv lot option.
Thanks for watching!
you probably dont care but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Man everybody should b watching this channel whether ur going to keys or not.these 2 r what living is all about.tune in people u won't b disappointed
Thanks so much Brad!!
Very cool I found your CZcams channel! Hope to catch up next time we are down. Good luck
Awesome! Thank you!
You absolutely living the dream. Looks like a postcard
Thanks for watching Sha!
In the Florida keys to key West, if you have a RV , A person could live in the state parks can live in for between 16 to 18 dollars a day/night if a person is a vet and or legally disabled. Unfortunatly my childhood home which family still owns and has owned since the 1970s has been severely damaged during Hurricane Irma 26 miles away from key West in little torch key unfortunatly. Our home is on a lagoon right on the open bay. But a lot of people moved out since Irma hit and I believe this is the reason these are affordable. I plan on getting down to key West soon enough as I still have childhood friends there.
The RV lot is a great option!
Wife and I love the videos. We live in Texas, but will be in Key West (for the first time) Friday for a few days, with a overnight stop in Marathon on our drive down Thursday from Miami. If we like Key West, we may come back for Fantasy Fest (we have friends that keep inviting us). Best place for evening cocktails in Marathon?
Have fun! Thanks for watching!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey thanks for the video, very informative. I’d like to rent a couple of these spots in the next couple weeks, you got any?
No, sorry we don't own any of these but we can help you purchase one 😁
Retirement goals most definitely
Yes, great goals! We didn't want to wait quite that long so we jumped in! Thanks for watching!
Good evening! New subscriber! These are some great options for folks that you highlighted here!
When I was in the army in NC, we used to really enjoy going to the Outer Banks. Though it was tempting to buy a beach house, we always said that we would prefer a lot to just bring an RV down there, and then move it away when we weren't.
Do these RV lots come with a proven rental history? Is it the front office that property manages/rents them out for you?
Some of the lots will have rental history...this will mainly come from the owner as all of the lots can be privately advertised and rented. There is a real estate company on the property that will handle the rentals if you hire them to do so.
Love it, just couldn’t afford it. But love watching your videos. I stayed there and camped on the beach close there. Camped on the beach until the noseeums got to us.
Thanks for watching! Yep, the noseeums can get rough here for sure!
I worked concrete construction in Ft Myers, we would start before the sun came up and worked off the lights on the back of the concrete truck. The noseeums were horrible but you couldn't use spray because when the sun came up you would fry from the chemicals - just had to take it. This was 1982 building Siesta Bay Resort near Sanibel.
I am a new subscriber. Nice place.
Thank you and welcome! We hope you enjoy!
My wife and I are searching for remote jobs. We've both had interviews. As soon as we do we are calling yall for help finding a rental.
Great! Give us a call!
beautiful house, price seems good considering what all you get. Me and the wife want to rent a place for a week sometime in the keys somewhere, will be getting with you to see what you say!
Sounds great! Give us a call!
great info. would like to talk fishing and investing in some property in the future.
Thanks!! That would be great!
I do love the Keys.
Us too! thanks for watching!
Man all those people from Northeast moving to Florida have driven up prices that make us stay in the Midwest now. Maybe we will find a lake in Georgia or Alabama and just visit still.
The love video looking closer to key Largo and Tavernier 👍
Thanks John! We would be glad to help you in your search for a home in Key Largo or Tavernier. We can help you anywhere in the Keys 😀 Just give us a call or shoot us an email, 770-314-2893 for Laurie - lauraelaine20@gmail.com or 770-561-6091 for Mark - markgable@me.com, Coco Plum Realty
Wow the beach has always been my life on the water but I came from the poor side so that limited me I'm already in my 50s with no where near that type of funds my house and property isn't even with 50 grands let alone trying to sell and move but if I had the funds I sure would go out of my way to contact you for a rv lot close a dock to have a small center console boat to fish but also love pier and beach fishing. great video keep up the good work I'll keep dreaming lol happy safe holidays from mississippi
Keep the dream and keep pushing! Let us know if we can help you find something down here! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@GablesOnTheGo I sure will and thank you
I lived the house's, but those RV lot's were definitely exciting. Is this on Marathon? I assume the RV lot's have full hookups with 50 amp service?
Nope, not Marathon. Cudjoe Key, 19 miles from Key West....awesome place though!!
How’s the WiFi down there? Is it reliable for working from home? Thank you for your videos! New subscriber here. 😊
WiFi is pretty good....almost all of the time. We are with comcast down here and getting over 100Mbps down consistently...but we do experience frequent drops. I'm not really sure if that is comcast or just my wireless router and this old solid concrete house we are in. I'm sure some more people will pitch in comments on this, but I find it good enough for me. Laurie taught from home for awhile and was in virtual meetings all day and had little issue.
I was wondering the same thing. I've been considering a move down there from Richmond, VA (although on a MUCH lower budget than $400k+ houses lol) and reliable internet is a definite must for work
An EMPTY lot for $289,000? Y'all NUTS!
I've been on the road since May 12, 2020. Sold my home in Kentucky and went to all 48 states finished up in New Orleans and headed back to Florida where I've been travelling around for 2 weeks now. We started in Pensacola and took the Gulf down to Key West and the Atlantic up to Jacksonville and then just traversed from east to west for the last 2 weeks. I'm now in Fort Lauderdale hitting the road again. I would love to buy a cheap place or rent something in the Keys if you know of a good area to look. I need a house though or apartment for me and my wife and two home schooled teenagers. I'm living on a military pension plus social security with some cash. I'm heading south today from Fort Lauderdale. We went through there a couple weeks ago but it was too expensive. Rooms were $800 a night at cheapest.
The keys seems like a day trip at best for lower income because lodging is crazy. People from New York pulling up in their BMW's just paying whatever they ask. I guess I should have chosen Wall Street instead of the Navy lol.
Yep things can get very expensive here for sure. Plus this is our busiest time of the year so prices go up during this time. September and October is when you will find the great deals in the Keys.
i have seen what has happen on the west coast of florida enough said.
Down the island is Cudjoe Key - a wonderful place with all sorts of amenities.
I am interested in that last home, b u t my finances do not like it at all. 🤔🤔🤔🤔.
I love going on these little adventures with the two of you even if I do not have the money to do anything more than follow you on here. You both look great and happy there and I do have a bit of envy.😪 Did you see on the news down there that the one condo building on the Navarre had a fire on their top floor. They were having repairs done after the last storm and the man working on the AC units up there and it seems that there were some sparks that the wind caught just after he left. Are you ready for this..................it is the building that I have a condo rented in for 2 weeks in the spring. I know it will be fine by then, but I have to laugh because this is my sort of luck. Covid hits and I had to cancel last year's vacation and I do not know what it will do to this year, but my friend said that everything would be fine by then. Have fun you two and have a glass of wine or two for me some evening when you are relaxing in the warmth. 🧡 💚
It's ironic you commented tonight Joyce. Laurie and I were thinking about you when we did this video. I was riding my bike along, and thought... Joyce would love it here! That last home was very nice, but it was also at the upper end of the pricing here. There is a whole lot for a whole lot less...you would love it here! I think everything will work out for you on your vacation...there are about 6000 people here on this channel pulling for you!!! .....it'll work out!
I see a lot of older trailers (1980s)on decent lots for sale for the 300-400,000 price range. Is it hard to secure financing for these places or do most of the people moving to VO&KW pay cash?
Yes, most people pay cash for trailers, but we do have a local lender who will do some financing on some of them.
Is there a length limit on RV’s in the park outlined in this video? The lot price of 289,900 is cheap. I have a 45’ quad slide bus. Some places have a 40’ limit.
There is no minimum length, however the site must be able to accommodate the rig and allow a 10' buffer from the water and one foot buffer from the power and septic hookups, so it will depend on the individual lot.
Does anyone build the house on stilts high enough to put a class A RV under so you can use the house and RV at the same time?
I don't think so John. There were none down there done that way at least. I know you can only have one vehicle at a site at any given time as well. It is a very neat place for sure!
Those rv lots look great but I was wondering about boats. I think having my own boat would be awesome but I don’t know anything about boats and marine life. Is there a place that teaches newbies about boating?
Hmmm...I don't really know of a specific place to learn about boating, but I bet there are plenty of videos online. Down here, you just make some friends and pay for some gas and you'll have things under control in no time. Just got to spend some time learning. Folks down here are so helpful in general, it wouldn't take long.
We lived in Key Largo for 18 years. Quality Waterfront Homes cost about the same as quality waterfront homes cost in the Gables. Dry homes cost about 1.5 times their equal in better neighborhoods in Miami. 90% of the condos, townhomes and waterfront homes in the keys are vacation homes. Only 10% are lived in full time.
Interesting stats, thanks for sharing!
do you guys only do sales or can you help us with a rental for 2 weeks in february at venture out....thanks sharon....
We just do sales, you can call Venture Out directly for rentals....but let us know if we can help you with homes at any point!
I guess I must have missed the RV lot you said you were going to cover.
Hmmm...did we miss it?? We are going to do a video all about RV lots down here very soon! sorry if we did not give the info you were looking for in the video...getting better at this every day!
Check 5:05 and 7:32
Are there any other places (aside from Blue Water) where you can rent anRV or travel trailer spot for an extended time? I've HAD more than a few people tell me some real doozy stories about being told to actually get inside their RV after 11 and that their guests had to leave.
Thanks for adding to the conversation! If you'd like to get the real skinny, feel free to give us a call! 770-561-6091
My gramma and GranDavid live there
What is the yearly property tax range on an RV lot? Using the 289k lot as a base example.
Property tax here in Monroe county you can accurately estimate at 1% of the purchase price. That will get you really close.
@@GablesOnTheGo Thank you so much for your reply. I can't wait to join the Conch Republic and live the salt life.
How much does the RV lot on the water and off water rent for? Looking for investment ideas.
I think they run between $75 -$125 per night depending on the location.
I sent you guys an emails to talk about renting or owning an RV spot in Key West.
Thanks Rocket! My favorite horse's name was Rocket!
Mark can venture out be used as a permanent address and do the have mail delivery thinking about moving to the keys
Yes to both! Give me a call, 770-561-6091
I have been looking for RV lots in the Keys .
I own one in Montana and Oregon
The question can i build a RV pad ?
Well...not at Venture Out....they've already been built. But not saying you can't find another spot in the Keys to build one...we just don't know where it is! Let's find it together! Thanks for watching the channel...if we can help you with anything down here let us know!
So 300 k for parking spot, an expensive trailer, and quarterly fees of 800? Did I get the fees right? Meaning over 3 grand a year?
I know, I know, but l what an experience of living on an island in the U.S. Just incredible!
do the lots come with electric and water hook ups?
There is electric, water and sewer at the lots. Thanks!
What type of camera do you guys use ???
Our main camera is a Sony AX53, and we have a few action cameras as well. 99% of our videos are on the Sony..with a Rode Video Micro microphone
@@GablesOnTheGo awesome thanks for the info We have been looking at them probably start with a go pro and work are way up to something else I like Nikon. You guys are great so much info. We are actually moving to Palm Bay next year from Illinois gonna try and visit the keys that winter hopefully if work allows it LOL
289,000!!!! Lol NOT I'll go to the 20 dollar campground and eat free lobster! I grew up going down from Miami Before it became a concrete jungle.Thank you
It's definitely not for everyone! Thanks for watching!
it is a crazy price, just for the place where you can park your RV
Does this area have sewers or cesspool system. Being small lots not a lot of room for cesspools
They are on public sewer...
You got me Lori I wasn’t expecting “clean your whatever” lol😂
Yeah, it check all the possible boxes of things that need to be cleaned 😂😂😂
That is the most expensive RV lot I have ever heard of. Where do the Trailer Park Boys stay when they stay in the Keys?
There are a bunch of campgrounds and different options down here. Venture Out is one of the nicest properties of it's kind down here so naturally they are a bit more expensive. It's just one of the few places you can actually purchase the lot and be able to build on it...most others are just leasing the space.
Mobile homes in Venture out are now selling for a million dollars.
But there are some less than that. Remember, if you buy in Venture Out you can build a home there because they have building rights with them.
Disregard, I see it in the description...sorry
Without breaking the bank? This is not budget when there are RV lots in the keys for 100K and no home owners fees
Budget is a matter of opinion I agree. There are lots and homes all over the Keys from dirt cheap to super expensive, you just have to choose where you fit in that picture and what your expectations are for you money. Thanks for watching!
@@GablesOnTheGo very true but you titled this that way to sound like it could be affordable!
I believe for being in the keys and what you get the prices are not bad.
I understand Samantha, and certainly would not intentionally mislead anyone...not my intention. But down here, believe it or not....that is on the budget end of things.!
are there any free places for us campervan folks to boondock???
Hmmm, I'm really not sure on that one. Maybe someone will respond with some good info for you! Thanks for watching!
are there places with no hoa? i'm looking to buy but don't want no hoa.
Yes, most of our areas do not have HOA's, most neighborhoods do not have them.
do you know of any realtors that rent small homes or trailers on yearly lease like marathon my father lived on cudjoe for 20 years until we moved to port charlotte apartment would be ok too have a good day
Well, we don't handle rentals but you could check "What's happening in Marathon" the Facebook page and there are frequent rentals on there that might be helpful! Thanks for watching our channel...wishing you the best of luck!!
My husband and I will be in the FL Keys and are interested in purchasing (for a 40' class A motorhome) or renting an RV lot. Can you please message me and let me know about inventory at this time?
We would be happy to help you find an RV Lot...give us a call at 770-561-6091
Looked into this place a bit and it would seem, at least from my limited research, that it is very dog un-friendly. Are there other options like this in the Key's that are more dog friendly?
Actually Venture out is pretty dog friendly with lots of pet owners there. The Keys overall are one of the most pet friendly places we have been.
@@GablesOnTheGo Thanks for the quick reply and that's good to know. I saw a few short-term rental "reviews" that made it seem otherwise. That's good cause to always take reviews with a grain of salt. Love the content! Makes me miss the Keys more with each video.
I stayed there(rented a home) in2019(Dec) . VERY clean and well keep up---My daughter was living there at the time also. I found it VERY unfriendly-if you were not part of the GROUP-Forget it-I will not get it the details but NOT for me--Watch out for Security( I have never had a ticket in my life)- just sayin---So I left---True STORY
I'm sure it's not for everyone, we just wanted to share another option with everyone!
I agree--Love your videos--Keep it up--
That bath is a women’s keys kind of color
Mark i dont know if I would like my RV parked by saltwater just saying.
Yes, it is tough on an RV for sure!
Are these houses still available?
Properties are selling so fast I wouldn't count on it. But new inventory become available everyday!
Do the RV lots have hookups for power, water, and sewer?
Yes they do!
What about small apts. Only rich have boats, houses, TV's.
There are apartments here. Maybe we can do a video someday on that!
How much is a lot?
Hi, it depends on several variables. If you are interested in learning more feel free to contact us. Just give us a call or shoot us an email, 770-314-2893 for Laurie - lauraelaine20@gmail.com or 770-561-6091 for Mark - markgable@me.com, Coco Plum Realty. Thanks for watching!
Is there f o a costs
The HOA fees are $798.45/quarter at the time of this video
Do they allow you to rent out your place? what about doing the Air BnB thing?
They do allow you to rent out your place they have a rental management company or you can handle it yourself.
..and i can argue very eaai!y that those stilts are not high enough, cuase i did some clean up
down there, and the water line was about that high in irma.
I bet you saw some crazy stuff after Irma...what a mess!
@@GablesOnTheGo yeah it was as close and I mean as close as a large region trendy like this gets to regional shtf
It was touch and go a few nights ,
Things failed at 95mph , so if it had been 10 mph more. who knows what happens,
@@GablesOnTheGo the next night was jurasic park like all you heard was the animals they took over for a few nights
Anything motorized or electric had stopped. So I wouldn't ride out anyway high down here ..
i dont how these owners down there can say keys disease anymore that was when rents were a few hundred a month. and workers lived in boats and pensioners snd retirees worked those jobs these days rents start at 1500
the
modern term is more
like playboy plagirl interuption ...lloll...
cuase they gotta deal with a worker they dont like,...lloll....
instead of being out on the boat hit the waves,
HMO fee’s ?
At the time of this video the fees are $798/quarter...
it's call "Velocity" zone construction check out www.floridabuilding.org The keys are high wind zone requirements. Monroe County is notered in CFR 44
I need this info cause I only have my fixed income
Maybe we can find you something here! Give us a shout!
wow, that's expensive, and 3k on top for hoa!
It's sort of cheap for down here, but I do realize it's a lot of money to some...it's just budget for the Keys!
Code enforcement are nuts in the Keys. That's the dark side. The Keys are nice but you need to know both sides. Cut down a tree or some mangroves without a permit....go to jail. Don't even think about a shed without a building permit.....you will be tearing it down. I rented 1/3 of a house in Tavernier. The owner built a small bungalow without a permit behind it near the mangroves. The other tenant got mad at him and called code enforcement. He had to tear it down.
Permitting can be a process, but if you follow the rules you can get things done...just takes patience.
why can’t you have dogs on a leash on the street.
I'm not sure about that situation. Every time we are in Venture Out people are outside walking their dogs on the streets.
Your out of your mind 289,000 for a lot that small!!!! I'm sorry Thats ridiculous, there no structure, no cabin, cottage, not even a tiny home!
There is the Atlantic ocean however...Thanks for watching!
Don't forget there's one way on and one way off!!!
Ripe off
LOL...indeed Frank...."ripe off". Thanks for watching.
Yuck!!! I can't imagine paying to build a house on a $290K lot only to be next to a trailer. While it appears that the "Keys" are a beautiful paradise this is definitely not.
Scott thanks for watching and commenting! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for sure. We never really imagined that a place like that would be our cup of tea either, but I will admit as we get older it's growing on us! Probably not a full time deal, but would be an awesome place to have to spend the winter for sure!
I am kind of with Scott here. I just can't get past the sewage/plumbing implications of an RV. Yes, I would love to ride in one on a long trip, and get to sleep for free. I get the reason why a rock band might travel in one, but for long term living, I need a conventional bathroom where my waste just magically disappears into .. I have no idea, it just disappears. As for calling this video, a budget. Not sure it at $300,000 up front, you haven't broken the budget. Maybe a free internet forum is not the audience. Try robbreport.com.
Yeah.....Everyone wants to be in the Key's but on a budget???????? Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Keys as a whole are expensive for sure, but this would be considered "budget" in the Keys!
Right.
Jesus! You gotta be rich to live buy down there. Rich and stupid. I do not see anything there worth that kinda money. Not even the location... location... location. 😆😆😆
Thanks for watching Dylan!...that's great thing about a free public platform...we all can express our opinions.
Why would anybody want to live in Florida, or as it is noted The "Skin Tag" of the U.S.?
To each his own, my friend 😉
