One of the things we have been wanting to do for years is spend some time being lazy, fishing, kayaking, and sailing our little 17 foot sailboat in the Florida Keys during the mild winter months (maybe Jan to March).
We have sold our house and are traveling in our homebuilt RV so expenses are low, but I think we will be better off renting a house on a canal on one of the Keys. Rents seem to be anywhere from $2500 to $4000 a month for a two or three bedroom house with 40 to 60 feet of canal dock.
The questions. Which key? Should we try and find another couple to share the rental? How would you approach that?
We can swing the rent solo, but really don't need more than 1 bedroom and parking, dock for our RV and sailboat. It seems a waste to get a three bedroom house.
