my parents almost bought us a house on Pine Island about 10 years

Pine Island is *very* different from Sanibel, still a lot of open
space on Pine Island and some reasonable values. Except for a couple
deep canals however, the water is extremely shallow for anything more
than a flats boat.

The place was on 1/8 acre, with a canal to the ocean. They were going
to buy it from some friends, were going to pay only 45,000. They
decided to stay north instead. I understand it had a gutter and a
garage wall come down in the hurricaine.
