Our New Home

Okay so I've been wanting to post something about this for a month. I didn't want to jinx it or anything in case it didn't work out.....but I found out this morning that we are approved for a beachfront condo!

It's gorgeous. It's in Jensen Beach on Hutchinson Island and the owners are moving to a different complex that allows dogs. Since the housing market really sucks here (you think its bad in The Ham - uh no) and especially for the upper end market like a beachfront condo - they decided to lease. They never even marketed it since I had already been in touch with the realtor for a separate condo that wasn't for us - I told him what we wanted and voila! he had the "perfect place" for us - and he did not lie. So, on December 1, 2008, the place is ours for 365 days! Woo Hoo!

It's on the 10th floor. There are two heated pools, gas grills, spa, sun bathing deck, pool table, gym, tennis courts and car wash (to wash the sand and salt off your car of course).

Here are some pix - it comes unfurnished but the pics have the owners furniture that will be removed.

On the other side of the bar thing is where the dining set goes:
