Rainy Day Brokers Caravan
Lori and I just returned from the monthly island brokers caravan. Wow! We did see some beauties. We started in North Anna Maria and viewed an elevated 3 bedroom/2 bath pool home with views of the gulf. Another Anna Maria City listing located on Archer at the very end of the street was divine. BRAND NEW nicely appointed and still close to the beach with a great pool.
One of our favorites of the day was an absolutely charming cottage on the Anna Maria Holmes Beach border. It is updated beautifully with a huge garage(very unusual on the island and provides great storage for all the toys). Priced at $599,000 this gem really deserves a look for someone looking to own a piece of paradise.
