We dont live in houses in the Keys. We live outdoors. We sleep in houses and clean up and thats about it. Dont need much square footage.
I love how sweet you two are together! I bought a Nature Coast Florida canal-front home that leads out to The Gulf, and maintenance on the boat is ongoing ----but worth it. It was always my dream as a kid to live on the waterfront. Congratulations on living your dream.
Thank you Lisa, we appreciate your kind comments!
Mark and Laurie, you guys have a very nice house, but what makes it a lovely home is the two of you guys. Thanks, for sharing your home with us. Blessings and peace!
Thank you James!
Great video. Glad things are going well for you guys. As far as reaching out for non-real estate related advice, We recently made our first trip to the keys, and Mark was super responsive and very helpful on a few questions I had about flying our daughter into Key West and the options for getting her up to Marathon where we were staying. Thanks Mark!
You are welcome Brady, so glad we could help!
You both are an inspiration to us, you are the reason we made the decision to move to the keys because of all your informative videos of your experiences and real living in the keys and you also include your family & friends including all your real work. Just saying thanks for everything you do.
Duke & Victoria 😊
Wow how nice of you! Thanks so much, sorry for the late response!
I'm a long time Keys resident, 44 years. I was just hit by Ian, my house, on the water, did well but this is the worst I have ever endured from a hurricane. I'm ready to go back home. I lived on Big Pine and then Summerland (Summerland Cove Isles).
Hi Debra, sounds like you got hit by Ian a lot worse than Irma in 2017...
OLD Buddy lived there How bad was IT ?? My TS on Daytona Beach is Gone or Worthless the water right there.Not 200 meters OUT when I had it..ALOHA
Congrats on the new home purchase! I'm glad you were able to find a place you like up near Marathon. I can't wait to learn more. Thanks again for showing us homes and showing us around the last time we were in town. Your knowledge, honesty, and good nature shined through just like in your videos! We still haven't decided whether to make the leap or not but if we do you'll be the first people we call!
Thank you so much!!
You guys seem like generally nice people. Thanks so much for your video. Definitely thinking about a home down there....lol
Thanks so much!
So good to see y’all again. You’ve done a fabulous job on the Ramrod house. Congratulations on your new home in Marathon. Can’t wait to see it too. Take care & again, Congrats😘
Thank you so much!
Love following you two these years!
thank you all for sharing with me!
Thank you for hanging in there with us!
You guys finding out early about the house being for sale is what we used to call *_"The Coconut Telegraph!"_*
Yep, I forgot about that old saying 😉
Congratulations on your blessings and success. For most including myself anything in the keys and south FL the market has priced out . Enjoy the channel and merry Christmas! ✨️
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Great video, nice job on the rebuild. We are part-time residents in Key Largo, we bought a condo which was suppose to be our winter residents, but for the last year it has been used as vacation rental property. People are willing to drop $5,000 a week just to vacation in the Florida Keys so it's pretty much a no - brainer......
Yep, the short term rental market is hot down here!
You folks are very nice people and it’s a pleasure to watch what you have going on down there . Congrats! I’m looking forward to seeing your new home!!
Thank you so much!
RTR!!!!, We did give you a great coach! I will say you did a great job with this house. I just started watching. I still have a full time job,APCO.
Congrats on the second house. That's the way to do it! Keep moving onward and forward!
Thanks Jerry!
Just found your website. You are living the exact same dream I want. You have a perfect sized house.
Thanks Mark!
I have yet to visit the keys but I am planning on a trip down there,I’m in Northern Ohio and I hate it,I’m 55 and have had six back surgeries and a total knee replacement on my right knee,I Love Florida and am planning on a move there for the weather and because it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen
Thanks so much for watching our channel!
Congratulations on both your new home and finishing current. You mentioned Knights key. We loved the sunset grill and the view of the 7 mile bridge. And Knights key. That's my goal. Fitting look at my last name. Lol
Thanks Alan! Sunset Grill has some great views!
Great video guys, the place looks great, can't wait to see the new place in Marathon. I just got back from Marathon a week and a half ago, it was great down there, great location.
Thank you for watching!!
Love following you fine folk's journey and look forward to keeping up. Congrats on the success and new home. Keep the good coming. Doug
Thank you! Will do!
You two are truly blessed!!
Yes, we have been truly blessed. Thank you for watching!
Congrats on the new place. Love the Keys...a few of my great aunt and uncle's on my mom's side all had places in the Keys from the 60's till 1990 . The last one sold her house for about 30k I'm told. What a sweet deal that would have been! Looking forward to the new vids!
Oh wow! That would have been a sweet deal!
Congratulations on both homes! We love the Keys and are looking forward to our retirement vacations there!
Thanks so much!
Aruba Jamaica come on pretty mama key largo Marathon Island the key West Coco Island 🏝️..
And I hear the collective sigh at about 12:02... that is a fantastic keys home!!! Boat right outside, built on stilts, it's perfect!
Hey! you two. How great to see your smiling faces again. I have not been good at keeping up right now, so I am glad I did not miss too much from you. Love your little house and can't wait to see what is next for you with the Marathon house. My sister is coming to stay with me for the holidays and I have to prepare for that. It is miserable here in PA. Rain, cold, and I heard that it is all to get worse later this week. OH! to be in warm weather.
Have a wonderful holiday and I will catch up with you again. OH! yes, I took my photo off here and put flowers. I was getting strange messages from some weird man on the comments I made to others I watch on here. That was a first for me.
Hey Joyce, good to hear from you! I like your flowers. I'm so sorry about the cold, try to stay warm!
Very nice home, congrats Gables. Oh my what a surprise, sold the GA property, now you really have found home. Another congrats. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Bill!
Congratulations Mark and Laurie on the new Marathon house. The Ramrod Key house really looks great. You did such a good job on the updating and glad to see you were able to keep the cool kitchen cabinets. Good luck on the move and hope to see you down the road.
It's beautiful you two did a great job on your home I love it❤️
Thanks Tony! Yes, the cabinets stay for now...
Congratulations guys! I was thinking last week you hadn’t put out a video in a while. Glad to see you back.
Thanks Jim!
My late wife love Marathon Christmas Florida
Happy holidays!
I've been a huge fan of your videos and have been a subsriber for a while now. I just returned from my first trip to the Keys. I lodged in Grassy Key, and I loved the neighborhood. Everyone down there was so friendly. I'd hit Publix for ice and beer, go to Sombrero for some sunlight and then go to Keys Fisheries for the best seafood I've ever had. I even got to witness a turtle release. My only complaint would be the chickens trying to bite me in the Publix lot and the $9 I had to spend for 18 eggs in the store. The prices at the grocery store were the only prices that were obnoxious. I'd say everything else was reasonable. I can't wait to return with the family. Thank you for the content, and congratulations on your new purchase.
Thanks! Sorry about the chickens, I have never seen them bother anyone. Maybe just one having a bad day or protecting her chicks.
Someday… love the Keys I go down every year ,my youngest son loves it down there also 👍👍
WOW!!! Congratulations on the new home! I think your little house is lovely too. Good luck on the move!
Thank you so much Alison!
Happy for you guys. We are on vacation. In Orlando this week and in Marathon next week (17th - 24th).
Thank you! I hope your vacation is wonderful!
Good for Ya'll!!! I've missed ya's! Looking forward to your future videos. I love watching you two. I'm excited for your future adventures!!! 🥰 please show us you're remodeling and moving into your new home. Can't wait!!!! Merry Christmas!!!! 💕
Merry Christmas!!
Congratulations Gables!
Thank you Diane!
I have missed watching your videos. Congratulations on all your real estate ventures. Hope to see another video soon. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
Thank you! You too!
Just finally saw this. Congratulations! Another nice video. Heppy to see your hard work pay off.
Thanks a ton!
Congratulations you too, I know you really love marathon area so that works out perfectly and we wish you all the best. Hope to see you around.
Thank you Tom!
Congratulations on getting the house in Marathon. Glad to see you coming back up to the other side of the bridge. Maybe we will run into you in Publix or Home Depot some day. Enjoy!
Thanks Steve! You probably will, we are regulars at the Publix 😋
this was great. really glad I found this page, may be looking you up later on down the road
Awesome, thank you!
Congratulations guys on your new awesome purchase. Y’all did great.!Thank you for your videos. Cheers to y’all . 🍻🥂
Thanks so much!!
Blessings to both of you in all you do👍❤️
Thank you Shaybre!
Congratulations on your new home. I am bringing the family to Marathon in three weeks for a week stay in Key Colony Beach. My wife and I come down at this time every year. (When we can border cross) from Ontario Canada. Our favorite place to relax and enjoy the people and weather. Maybe bump into you some time in the future. Enjoy your videos. Very good with loads of information. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank you Tony! KCB is a great place to stay 😃 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
I spent June and December of 2021 in Cudjoe nad can't wait to go back. What an awesoem place to live
Thanks so much for watching our channel! Mark Gable LLC, Coco Plum Real Estate 770-561-6091 markgable@me.com
Great video.. can't wait to see what you do with the new place
Very soon!
Love the turquoise coloring!
Congrats, I am still kicking myself for not moving on a 400,000$ place in Ramrod Key back in 2019 it is more than double that since COVID...
looking forward to seeing the new place.
We wish we had bought in 2017...
Congrats love the video looking forward to the Marathon video
Thank you Robert!
Congratulations to you guys on your new home purchase. 🎉
Thank you!
Wow! What a deal...even with reno costs...
We agree!
🤠You guys give more info than most realtors.
I am glad we could be helpful!
Enjoy and do a little fishing. Thanks for the info
Thanks, will do!
Hey Mark and Laurie did you guys get your jelly fish lamp from the owners of the house you sold? What a fun lamp!!?
Actually we got that at Royal Furniture in Marathon. I love it!
I've never seen you guys' video's. but I think you guys look amazing and beautiful together... Let me guess I imagine another cost a lot of money to live at the Florida keys. I've been to Marathon Island... I have anxiety the whole time I was there I couldn't eat...😓🌍
Thank you Nura! Sorry you had a bad experience while you were visiting though.
Hi guys. Thanks for the great videos. I just love the palm trees I’m your yard. I live in Maryland on the Chesapeake bay. I visit the keys once in a while. I always wanted to buy a small piece of land there to put my toy hauler trailer. Maybe I should talk to you all to see if people do that down there.
Thanks for watching! There are very specific rules to "putting an RV on your land" down here...feel free to give me a call sometime and I can let you know the basics of this. It's not as easy as you might think unfortunately. Mark Gable LLC, Coco Plum Real Estate 770-561-6091
Love this! Good luck with your new property! I know who to call when I decide to move from Tampa area! Best of luck and keep posting !!
Thank you so much!
Awesome video! Congrats on both houses!
Thank you!!
Hey Gables, love your videos. Although we're not likely to buy real soon, we do dream. We are going to be riding the keys and staying in Marathon for a little while next week. Let me know if you guys feel like grabbing a cup of coffee and chatting.- Bruce
Just give us a call Bruce. We love to meet new people but as you might imagine we are constantly busy here so we really never know our schedule. Just give us a shout and maybe we can meet up! Mark
Another quality video guys.congrats on the selling and buying.busy folks
Thanks 👍
Outstanding place. I'm a retired Naval aviator. Looking forward to finding a place in the keys
Thanks! We will be happy to help you find a place in the Keys and give you more details on living here. Just give us a call! Mark - 770-561-6091
Great Video Guys! Nice to see your video. again. That house would be a great bachelor pad.
Thanks Nat!
Congrats guys!
Thank you James!
Can’t wait to see all about the new house! 🥳
Awesome!
Excited for you two!
Thanks!
OH!!!!! I almost forgot! Could you pleeaaaaasssseeeee show us a better picture of that lamp that was in the corner as soon as you come into the living room from the porch. What were those things hanging from it? Lights? It looked like a jelly fish. Can we see it lit up? Love it! 😁
It is one of my favorites! It is a jellyfish lamp. It has little marbles at the end of each tentacle. I will post it on our Instagram page - Gablesonthego
The house looks good; very functional. I owned an elevated house in Port Aransas, Texas and discovered that there was a lot of condensation under the floors from the AC unit operating in the humidity. Have they figured out hw to deal with that? My question is regarding institutional financing for a house bought in a condition like yours; is it available or do you go with hard money and then refinance when the project is done? Have you sold any liveaboard boat slips down there?
Lending is typically not the problem because the land is worth so much compared to a home like this. Now, insurance on the other hand can be difficult and of course if you can't get insurance you can't get a loan. Every property is different for sure.
Congratulations 🎉Love Marathon and DRC❤️🐬❤
Thanks Jennifer!
You know, I was wondering what was going on with you two. Missed ya. When you were coming up to the big surprise I was thinking… oh no she’s pregnant 😅. Well congratulations. I wish my insurance was that cheap! They have gone crazy in Sebastian.
No more babies for us unless they are grandbabies 😉
Insurance is a bear, for sure!
@@GablesOnTheGo , that would be a major shock to the system. I was kidding of course. I can’t imagine kids
Glad y’all are living your dream! Go Dawgs!
Thank you Steve!
I have lived there before, from Boca, to Florida City on the mainland. And up and down the Keys when I worked in the Caribbean for the government… but I actually enjoy living in Georgia better, and just visiting Florida.
We do love Georgia but love the Keys weather more as we get older.
❤ love your vids 😊
Thank you Bill!
I love a Georgia peach! She's a keeper. I moved to GA to marry mine.
Thanks!
Water quality kinda sucks in marathon... I'll keep my little torch key home with clear canals... y'all make great videos i like to watch while our keys home is rented out in the peak months... thanks
You are welcome Todd.
Thanks for the video. Great real world info on real estate expenses. Do most buyers use property inspectors when purchasing?
Thank you for watching! Yes they do use home inspectors. Insurance will require 2 reports from the home inspector as well.
Beautiful homes congratulations
God bless
Thank you so much!
Great news.......... Looking forward to more video's
Thanks 👍
Congratulations on another house. 😊
Thank you Jimmy!
Congrats! Thanks for the informative video.
Your welcome!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year if I don’t see you
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
Thanks. Nice honest informative video
Glad it was helpful!
I find that you two school teachers have found your spot in the keys! I would love to live down in the Keys, but have a school teacher son and news media son, with a construction son up here in the Mid West of Northern Ohio and three grandchildren up here! ! Just saying that it would be hard to leave our three boys and our three grand children in Ohio if we moved!
That would be too hard, but maybe a second home one day for all to enjoy!
I love honest video's , I may move to Key West the Navy Base has rental town homes / condo's that will give a chance to check Island Time Out to video's like this one really educate viewers.
Thank you Timmy, I am glad it was helpful!
Hey guys we have been watching your videos a while , we moved from North Carolina to Venice Florida in 2022 . We want to move to Keywest next . My wife is a realtor . We’re both licensed but I don’t work in real estate I work an 8-5 job to ensure we make ends meet since we just moved this year. Everything has been great the move was a success praise God. We do want to get to Keywest sooner than later .
What do you think the marker is going to do this year 2023 what are your projections for the Keywest real estate market ?
Hi Brantley and thanks for watchin our channel. I would be happy to speak with you at length about things down here. Just give me a call at your convenience and I'll share some thoughts with you. Mark Gable LLC, Coco Plum Real Estate 770-561-6091 markgable@me.com
Great video. Let me ask you, how bad are the floods? how often do floods occur? What is your county doing for the roads to your homes to combat flooding? How are the taxes and flood insurance for the Florida keys housing market?
Sorry for all the questions. I really am interested in purchasing a property down there.
Give us a call, we are happy to discuss things with you! Mark Gable LLC, Coco Plum Real Estate 770-561-6091
COLLEGE FOOTBALL I AGREE.
Can we have an update on the Marathon home? Interested to see what you’ve done with it.
We will soon, did some landscaping and putting in some cabinets so everything is in disarray. We are building a big back porch as soon as permits are granted and will do videos on the house before and after 😀
@@GablesOnTheGo excellent. Can’t wait to see
love your channel guys. do you know if people who are wheelchair bound live there? can you make a video if they do..
Thank you! Yes, there are some ground level houses and ramps and elevators in some homes.
Good for you Christmas Florida
Thanks Ronnie!
Very cool!
Thanks!
That boat ramp would work just perfect if you use a trailer with rollers, but I know how you Americans hate those for some reason.
I just dip the tyres half way up their sides, hook the boat up and winch the boat up.
Also, on the plus side, the car that I pull the boat up with stays on dry land instead of being on the ramp that may be slippery.
I know it is hard to tell by the video but even if you could get the trailer in the water half way up the tires the canal is too narrow to get the boat in the water on our ramp. You really just have to be here to see it. 😉
@@GablesOnTheGo
Okay!
Edit:
Wait! Was that an invitation?
😋
Cape Coral on a wider private canal 2500 sq/ft $300-400 K. 20 min to the Gulf. 15 min to I-75 ... Why go to the Keys? Florida on the water with boat steps away is almost gone at any price. The Keys is FAR away travel though. After Hurricane Ian, some of the Fort Myers people are selling. Might be an option. Cape Coral is really hot now.
Beautiful place, but we love the Keys' amazingly beautiful water 😉
Perfect, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm not too concerned about the price of the real estate. I'd really like to know how long it will be above sea level?
Only time will tell about sea levels, we will just have to enjoy what we have and see how things go 😀
@@GablesOnTheGo that's a plan!
Wow this is where you live! I should have worked harder and partied less when I was young.
It's never too late 😃
Looking down your canal, I didn't see any sailboats. Is that because of a bridge to cross under or shallow water, or just that none of your neighbors are into sailing? Does sailboat access jack up the home cost significantly?
I'm hoping to get a 42-45' cat with about a 24' beam and 4' draft. Current boat is a 31' tri with 22' beam but folds to 9'. But I've heard year round sailboat insurance is getting nearly impossible in price and availability in Florida.
The canal depths vary at different locations in the community. There are no bridges so mast clearance would not be an issue, but I would think control depth would be for a keel boat. We have boats in the 50 foot range go out from here, but I can't think of seeing a sailboat in the neighborhood.
How’s the market in the upper keys area? Canal front. Looking to relocate from Miami and purchase soon
Market is doing great in the upper Keys. Give us a call when you are ready to purchase 😎
Congrats on the new house in marathon, not sure why you would pay what you did to buy a house on the water. i am sure you will fill us in.
Fill you in on why we would pay what we did for a house on the water or not on the water?
Great video! How is the traffic down in the Keys?
Thanks Lisa! Roads are busy right now, it is peak season. We just don't make too many left turns unless it is at a red light 😉
@@GablesOnTheGo Thanks for the response!
1972 is not old that’s new when it comes to house life
Nope, not when 100 year old houses are still standing.
