Bed and Breakfast anyone?  Part elegant hotel/part luxurious or artist home, owning a B&B is the dream of many, including entrepreneurs.  A B&B is usually quite small and intimate.  No 100 rooms at ananonymous hotel.  The normal number of rooms ranges from 3 to 8, and they usually have names meaningful to the decor or view. The owner resides at the B&B in a separate room or quarters, and it is vital that the owner or owners are ready to host a B&B, for the success of the B&B will depend in large part upon a warm and inviting atmosphere that is obtained by both the ambiance of the physical environment and the personal affinity of the hosts. A hearty breakfast is usually served morning and a tea or happy hour in the afternoon. B&Bs have gained wildly in popularity for travelers during the... 06/06/2013

Large 3 bedroom-2 1/2 baths.  Open pool overlooks bay.  Totally Cool and Beautiful.  Short sale, but Seller would like to sell. Listed at $545,000.   Matlacha is one of five communities on Pine Island, although technically, it is located on a smaller island in Matlacha Pass, east of Pine Island. It is an "Old Florida" fishing village home to many brightly-colored art galleries, island boutiques, seafood restaurants, and traditional Florida cottages.  From a settlement of homesteaders, Matlacha developed into a rowdy commercial fishing village.

Since then, Matlacha has morphed into a comfortable haven for artists, fishermen ... 07/18/2010

According to the experts there is an increase in sales of beach houses in Hollywood, Florida area as the summer vacations are approaching. The sales increased in spite of the fact that the property is not cheap there, luxury one. The demand made the prices go up, but in general the market is rather stable, as the professionals say. This can be explained by the reason that some companies have come back to good bonuses to the workers who are ready in their turn to spend the cash on buying some property. But both the buyers and the sellers are very cautious about the prices. The sellers know that they can’t establish the same price as two years ago and the buyers think that the choice is not the same as some time ago. Many seller offer discounts on the houses as they are too long on the ma... 04/28/2010

    So I was out on the boat for a few hours today and thought I would share with all those who may be stuck in the cold someplace.This is what SW Florida looks like in December. We saw Manatees and Manta Rays, plenty of Dolphin ( Like Flipper) and we actually caught quite a few fish.This is what being in SW Florida is all about. Imagine pulling up to a sandbar and being able to have a picnic out in the middle of the water.  12/09/2007
