Yup thats it. It needs a dock. When I was in it in april that house was awesome.

I've never eaten there yet so I do not know how their service is. We tried to stop there the Friday of the Shootout on the Dick's run but the rain chased us back to the 4MM. Sorry to hear you got crappy service. My comment was give the event a chance at the new location from both a land and water standpoint. If Ron's ends up pi$$ing people off, they will get flamed on here. I think they are open year-round. I will stop in there next time I'm down there (most likely Feb) and see how they do (realizing it is different in the off months).

This is the property. However, I know I saw it listed for less than $659k at one point in the last week (could have been different site than craigs list though). They may have put up a lower price to unload it and take their loss this year and since they didn't get any bites that could close by the 12/31 they raised it again.

I was wrong that is not it. The front looks exactly the same though. If someone wanted a nice house cheap I would look into it. Probably offer around 400,000 to 450,000. It looks like it needs about 100,000 put in the outside still.

I'm 2 minutes away...will go look today and post my findings.

I'll be down all week next week. This will give me something to do.:D

The grade looked pretty steep to me too.

Haven't heard from Wild for awhile - have you seen him this winter?

The drive is fairly steep but not as bad as the picture reflects. The home was started in about 2003 and really had some long delays in the construction process with prolonged exposure to the elements---been kind of the eyesore of the neighborhood.

Had lunch at Captain Ron's on Saturday and they will be open until New Years and then close down until St. Patty's to complete the remodel--will be adding 5,000 ft. to the building.

I haven't seen him since Key West but have talked, he's pretty busy with work...he and the Mrs. are going on the FPC Hawks Kay run with us end of Jan.

Went and looked at the Craigslist Porto Cima House located at #36 Grand Cove Dr.

Nice location on the water; nice protected cove (no wake in that area); nice home next door. The house is at the low end of Porto Cima waterfront homes; basic builders spec home and has been sitting a while. Lot is steep up top with a very steep driveway like most along that section of homes. Pallets are modular retaining wall block.

Here is the left side, rear from shoreline and right side. Note the vines remnants on the left side.
