My wife and I are looking for a B&B or other rental for our anniversary on July 4th. Naturally we would like a place where we could keep the boat in the water (and not break the bank). Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I own a canalfront home with 2 other couples that we rent out by the week (usually Saturday to Saturday) in Marathon at the 50 mile marker. The house has a 40 plus foot dock, plenty of parking and has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. As of now it is available for July 4th week. You can see photos and get further details at www.vrbo.com/70014. If you mention to the booking agent that you are a fellow THT er, we'll give 10 percent off the prevailing rate. You can also e mail me direct with questions/concerns at juniorbaiter@yahoo.com. Thanks, Jim

It means go to www.VRBO.com (Vacation Rentals By Owner) and search for property #49422 which is located at Mile Marker (MM) 90.

Addresses in the keys are referred to by the mile marker.

The lower the number, the closer to Key West.

BTW, are you familiar with the boating challenges in the keys?

Thanks.
Yes and No, I used to go at least once a year, but I haven't been back in 15 years.

They've really gotten strict in the last 10 years or so. There are at least five entities patroling the waters (that I can think of) and fines are $50 per square foot of any destroyed sea grass.

Be safe and have a blast!

Talk to Scott Hopp at Cudjoe Gardens Marina--we had a blast with him over the 4th of July this year--he has the marina, house rentals and charter boats.

Scott--if you read this--thanks for the memories.
