    Good luck I've been looking for something on the north side of the Big O and for what they want I could buy a new boat every ten years and not worry about putting it inside.

    Surprised you didn't check out the HOA prior to moving in. Are you just renting? Good luck trying to find someplace

    That's why I decided not to look at HOA homes.

    HOA's in Florida are terrible for the most part. They tried to reinstate the one we used to have in my development and was promptly voted out

    When house hunting, my only requirement was a garage big enough to put the boat AND our cars in.

    Found one that is 3-car with an additional work/storage space. The single space 9ft garage door side is 25’11” deep. The double door side is 27’11” deep. We close on 1/31

    You'll probably have to ask the wife for other details on the house, lol. I just measured garages while she looked inside

    I have been long-distance dating my girlfriend for the past five years. Retired and moved into her villa with her.

    Hmm..... problem with space due to overcrowding and not enough room for boat storage. Imagine what its like on the water! Ya want easy access, well your a product of your own relocation when you moved here! Case in point. Not enough space for everyone moving here. One option is too grab her up and go back to Indiana. I'm sure there is plenty of storage up there....just saying! It would fix your issue and not add to it down here.

    I can’t wait to relocate to Florida. Jacksonville is high on my list. Most of my family from the East Coast already made the move!
