jimandsue60, I guess based on your purchase price and the amount of time you spend there, it isn't a horrible price. But we have checked into a couple other parks, mainly ones that are owner/owned where you can have an RV on your lot or actually put a park model on it, and those maintenance fees run from around $1,200 a year to just over $2,500.
As far as Gulf Water maintenance fees go, I would be shocked if they were $6,000 or more, but I could be wrong.
My buddy owns his own lot at Palmetto Palms, which is on Summerlin between Sanibel and San Carlos (road to Fort Myers Beach), and he put a park model on it. His association dues, property taxes, and insurance are $3,800 per year total. You can also put an RV on you own empty lot there but the length limit is 35' which leaves us out.
I realize being on Sanibel Island would be an unbelievable location, almost unmatched in SW Florida, just don't know if we want to spend 7 or 8 months in one spot down there yet, which we would have to in order to justify it.
I'm saving your post jimandsue60, don't be surprised if I show up with a bucket of live shrimp and my fishing rod!
Sweet!, I will boil the shrimp and you can take my boat :)
