As Per Request, Pet Friendly Establishments in The Florida Keys. Waiter, Can I Get A Bone??

It's funny,
Your Conchquistdor is now taking Blog requests!!

I recently posted in Facebook, that I was enjoying breakfast at Robbie's in Islamorada with my faithful canine, Donatello in tow, and that we were lucky to have so many Pet-Friendly eateries here in the Keys.
This prompted one of my loyal readers to remark that I should do a Blog post with locations of others.
Great Idea!!!
And Here you go:

Keys People love their pets....and they REALLY LOVE their Dogs.  The Florida Keys, in my humble opinion, are the most accepting and in many cases, most welcoming of patrons accompanied by Man's Best Friend.

I have had many transactions that had to take into account how the Buyer's pet(s) would fare in their new surroundings

It is quite common to sit on a patio, at a local eatery, and see several tables that have well behaved dogs aside their Owners..  Many servers will, quite often, bring your dog a doggie bowl with water and even a treat or two.  (  Hmmm you can guess who gets great tips!)

Of course, there are some ground rules.  Dogs must be well behaved, they must be on a leash, and not fed from the table, and so on, and each establishment may have their particulars as well.

Now, we here at American Caribbean are really serious about our love for pets.  Along with our sister real estate company, Marr Properties. we created a charitable arm, called MarrVelous Pet Rescues, whose purpose is to find Forever Homes for distressed rescued pets.  MarrVelous even holds a monthly, "Yappy Hour" on a revolving basis at many of the establishments listed below, where patrons can bring their pet and socialize, and maybe even find a new loving dog to take home.
(I can just imagine two male dogs talking when they get home about a female dog they met and saying "Man, that Bitch was Hot!!" Yes Yes, I know, poor taste, but hey it was just "sitting there")

Below are just some of the Establishments in the Upper Keys that are pet friendly:

Conch House - Key Largo

A Recent 'Yappy Hour" at Snook's in Key Largo

Snapper’s - Key Largo

Pilot House - Key Largo

Sundowner -Key Largo

Sharkey’s - Key Largo
 

Snook's - Key Largo

Smuggler’s Cove - Windley Key

Taster’s - Tavernier

Lorelei - Upper Matecumbe

Postcard Inn – outside - Windley Key

Island Grille at Mandalay - Key Largo

Islamorada Fish Company - Upper Matecumbe

Big Chill – outside -Key Largo

Hungry Tarpon, aka "Robbie's" - Lower Matecumbe

Buzzard’s Roost - Key Largo

Shipwrecks - Key Largo

Gilbert’s - Cross Key on Jewfish Creek

Alabama Jack’s - Card Sound at the foot of the bridge

These are just some of the great establishments that welcome our pets.  Please give them your business when you have your pet in tow.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Doggie Bag"

Thank You Kathleen.  What a great idea for a post!

Your Conchquistador Congratulates My Friend and Colleague Joel Young On Being Named, "REALTOR of The Year",by The FL Keys Board of REALTORS!

Sometimes in Life you are allowed the opportunity to work with one of the "Good Guys".

Let's face it, when some people still think of a Real Estate Agent in South Florida, thoughts of  guys with Pencil Thin mustaches that they twirl at the ends while they impart the wondrous value of swamp land come to mind. And yes... there were those unsavory characters that have sullied our reputation as Real Estate Professions here in South Florida and it has taken a considerable amount of time to turn the tide.

Joel Young being Awarded "REALTOR of  The Year" by The Florida Keys Board of Realtors

But then comes, Joel Young....A Galahadian version of what we, as vessels of our profession, should be!  Joel, has just been named by The Florida Keys Board of Realtors as their "Realtor of The Year", and boy did they get that RIGHT!

I have had the privilege of working with Joel, here at American Caribbean Real Estate for three years, and can personally attest to his work ethic, community involvement, and Heck...Ethics in general!For Joel, There is no other road, than the High One.

Joel, a previous recipient of The Board's "Rookie of The Year' honor, has also served as a member of the MLS Board with me, and now is a member of the Master Board.  As well, he was just named to The Board of Directors for the Islamorada Chamber of Commerce.  Joel's commitment to Community Service is also quite evident here in our little slice of Paradise.

And when it comes to Real Estate, Joel is an Ace.  Having worked with happy clientele with Properties ranging from Multi-Million Dollar Waterfront Estates to Condos and Mobile Homes, Joel's Contract Knowledge, Enthusiasm, and Energy are Second to none...Wait... Not counting yours truly...LOL.

Joel is a Major Component and Asset of our unique Team here at American Caribbean ( Which in includes Past REALTOR of The Year, Bill Belian, and past Rookie of The Year John Vlad), and I am very happy to call him a colleague, but ven more importantly a Friend!

"Yes, I Am A Pirate...200 Years Too Late" Your Conchquistador Was Part of This week's Flotilla Protest!

Like Jimmy Buffet sang about being a Pirate too late, your Conchquistador still has a bit of Buccaneer in him!!

As most of you are aware, this crazy Government shutdown has forced the closure of Everglades National Park, the source of livelihood for many of our local fishing guides.
These poor guys are taking it in the proverbial shorts!!
And if the Guides aren't making money, they don't go to restaurants, spend money, and so on and on it goes with the financial ripple, that can even, eventually affect real estate in the long run.

So, what is a Pirate like me supposed to do??? Protest!!!  Along with about 200 of my Keys Brethren.
Yes, about 200 boats, including my vessel the Conch-Keys-Tador, took part this Wednesday, in a peaceful, but very vocal protest of the Park's closure, that certainly got the "Powers That Be's" ear.
Perched at the Park's Border at Cowpen's Cut off Islamorda, we let our sentiments be KNOWN!

Just some of the Many Boats that Took Part in The Flotilla Protest.

Below is a written statement from my friend Captain Bill Kelly,
" Approximately 150 boats carrying more than 500 people assembled Wednesday, October 9th, at the Cowpen's Cut just off Plantation Key in Islamorada to peacefully protest the closure of Everglades National Park to all user activity.  All of the national park closures are having significant, negative, economic impacts on the communities that surround them, not just on fishermen but lodging establishments, restaurants and support services that enhance the park experiences through various outdoor activities.

Although members of Congress and furloughed government workers continue to receive their paychecks, fishing guides are  experiencing a major loss of income due to the closures with no relief in sight.  Our congressman, Rep. Joe Garcia, has voted for and continues to push legislation to open the parks.  Rep. Garcia steadfastly supports our position that citizens and visitors to our national parks should not be penalized by our government's inability to come up with a balanced budget and appropriately address the Nation's financial affairs.

Well-known Capt. Randy Towe of Islamorada, the primary organizer of the rally, deserves a debt of gratitude for his efforts in creating national awareness on the importance of keeping our national parks in full operation to benefit our local economies and in respect for our citizens and international visitors to these venues.

Capt. Bill Kelly, Executive Director
Florida Keys Commercial Fishermen's Association'

Below is a response from Congressman Joe Garcia:
 “To everyone gathered in peaceful protest against the closing of Everglades National Park, I stand with you today. As you make your plight – and those of your families, communities and local economies – known in Washington and across the county, I regret my absence. But know that I support your efforts and will be your advocate in Washington. Know that I, like you, will spread the messages of those affected by the shutdown, and fight for its resolution, until these needless and dangerous games being played with the livelihoods of the American people have been put to a stop. It is time to get the country back to work,” 


Let's Hope our this ridiculousness comes to and end quickly and that our honest, hard working, friends can get back to making a living!!!

Though the canons don't thunder and there's nothing to plunder, I don't just want to sit around and wait.

Did you know that American Caribbean Real Estate leads the Upper Keys in sales of properties over $3,000,000?
We have been fortunate to have listed half of the four properties that have sold in 2013, and our sister company, Marr Properties had one of the buyers for the other two properties.

Thus far in 2013, as I mentioned there have been four sales that closed for over $3M in the Upper Keys:

1. 80221 Overseas Highway, Islamorada - Listed by American Caribbean Real Estate
2. 75140 Overseas Highway, Islamorada - Listed by American Caribbean Real Estate
3. 104 Coastal Drive, Key Largo - Sold by Marr Properties
4. 76041 Overseas Highway, Islamorada

As you can see, the Purple Isles (Islamorada), leads the pack, with a property on luxurious Coastal Drive in Key Largo thrown into the mix.

Here's a little recap of the properties that our company had the privilege to sell.:

80221 Overseas Highway

Sold  Price: $3,250,000 / List Price: $3,850,000

Yes, yes, I know. That one was Really bad, but hey it's 4 pm on Friday, and I'm itching for a Conch Colada to start the Weekend off right.

(BTW, Conch Colada.... My own recipe and creation is 1.5 oz of  Bacardi  Pineapple Fusion, Pineapple
Juice, and Sweet and Sour or Margarita Mix.  Shake vigorously with ice and strain over fresh ice or serve up.  Goes exceptionally well with a good Partagas Black Label cigar!)
OH and my lawyers wanted me to add, please drink responsibly and only drink if you are over 21.

Anyway, back to Rea Estate.
As you can see from my report below, our market has stayed pretty constant.  Good news for Buyers in that the prices have not made a huge jump from last year, in general.  If you consider the Sale Prices and current List Prices , you will notice that there is a very small margin.

An interesting point is that Condo sales are up considerably, and the amount for sale has doubled.

As we head into Fall we usually see a bump in activity, as many Buyers would love to enjoy their new property for the Holidays, so THIS is the time to buy, making it a great time to sell.

De Plane, De Plane! Holiday Isle Now Offers Seaplane Service Directly to the Beach!

There's always been something profoundly nostalgic about arriving to a destination via Seaplane.
Maybe it hearkens back to yesteryear, to the days of  the Pan Am Clipper Class, elegantly gliding in....pontoons skimming the azure waters and then taxiing to the awaiting dock.
I can almost smell the fine cigar smoke that would be allowed in those days and seeing someone like  the Dos XX Most Interesting Man in the World appearing from the cabin.
Yes, there definitely in an air of Romance associated with Seaplanes.

Now, you too can capture that Romance here in The Keys!

The Post Card Inn at Holiday Isle in Islamorada has announce they they will be offering Seaplane service to and from the locations of Bimini, Miami, Ft Lauderdale, and Key West.

Florida Keys Profanity

Forget George Carlin's 7 dirty words. Forget the F, S, C, P, D, and just about any other A thru Z words....When it comes to June 1st in the Florida Keys, one word is MOST Profane!!!! Wash your mouth out with bad Zest Profane..and that is The H-Word....Hurricane.

Yep, It's THAT Time of Year Again.

Yes, like most of the Eastern states, The Florida Keys once again hold its collective breath as we start another dreaded Hurricane Season. Our little stretch of 118 miles of dust, gravel, and mangroves are prone to these suckers!

The Lovely, yet Somber,
Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada

All joking aside, Hurricanes have had an indelible effect on the Florida Keys. One visit to the lovely, yet somber Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada, quickly paints the image of the power and destructive capability these massive weather phenomena posses.

Who can deny the impact the 1935 Storm had. It virtually and literally collapsed the Overseas Railway. It fueled Hemingway's creative fires for several of his subsequent novels. Most people are not aware that Hemingway was quite an unsung hero of the 1935 storm, providing great assistance in relief efforts aboard his Boat Pilar.

So, as we break out our shutters and refresh out mooring plans and search for that perfect hurricane hole for out boats. We get ready in true Keys fashion: We throw on Jimmy Buffett's "Tryin' to Reason with Hurricane Season", Mix up a batch of Margaritas, and give the H-word...the F-word.

"Keys anglers star in 'Reel Rivals'

Florida Keys sportfishing is destined for primetime broadcast attention when a new television reality series debuts May 7 on the Weather Channel.

The first episode of "Reel Rivals" is to air at 9 p.m. featuring the daily competiveness of Keys sportfishing

captains George McElveen, Nick Stanczyk, his uncle Scott Stanczyk and Augie Wampler. The four skippers base their boats at Bud N' Mary's Fishing Marina in Islamorada.

"'Reel Rivals' is about the competition between four sportfishing captains in the sportfishing capital of the world," said Brad Hebert, co-executive producer for Optomen Productions, which created the show for the Weather Channel. "It centers on relationships on and off their boats.

"They're entertaining, comical and [episodes are] full of twists and turns," he said about the 30-minute shows.
Hebert and his video production crew focused a slew of cameras on the four skippers for almost a month. They subsequently spent four months in post-production to create six shows that are to air with the anticipation the series will be extended on an annual basis.

Hebert says viewers should be forewarned that "Reel Rivals" is not a typical nuts-and-bolts fishing show, although plenty of sportfishing action is included. He added that the natural attractions and climate of the Keys add to the show's appeal.

"The location is beyond what is advertised in terms of beauty as well as the diversity of species," Hebert said.
Following the premiere, subsequent episodes are slated to air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. through the end of June. Programming dates and times are subject to change.

The Hampton Inn at mile marker 80 plans to host a premiere party May 7 and the show's principal characters are expected to attend. Happy-hour drink specials are to begin at 4:30 p.m. and complimentary appetizers are to be served starting at 8."
