Kaz - when Karen told me they were selling (to go somewhere bigger!
) because members of my family have been over there to visit I had some idea what the house was like..but I was gobsmacked at how cheap the asking price was.
Jo - when we were in Florida in 2001 there were 10 of us in a 7 bedroomed house..it was HUGE. They really know how to do big over there!
We nosily went to view a few houses nearby that were roughly the same size and were being marketed at that time for 175.000 dollars.
Although a gated community wouldn't be for us the houses themselves were out of this world.
