The Search.

For years while living in Cincinnati, Keith and I have dreamed of living close to the beach. We dared to think we could find waterfront property. I own a PR agency with clients nationwide. At the end of last year, Keith started working remotely. And we found out I was pregnant with our second child, a girl.

Having grown up in Orlando, we knew Florida was calling.

We first started our search in Jacksonville, FL and quickly realized it wasn't the right town for us. It doesn't seem that Jacksonville has capitalized on its waterfront property, at least in our price range!

So, we headed south. This time, we started online. We fell in love with a planned community called MiraBay.  We found a great Realtor in Glenn Shirley and planned a visit. Unfortunately, MiraBay only looked good on paper for us. The homes which were in our price range were all foreclosures or short sales and would all need major improvements.

But, we knew that the town MiraBay was in, Apollo Beach was home. And, another neighborhood Glenn showed us was the right fit.

We're building in Bimini Bay.
