Pelican Bay – Naples, FL – While it may have been a cool windy Day in Pelican Bay,  it certainly didn’t stop Residents from heading to the beach yesterday.

Marker36 Beach in Pelican Bay Naples FL

My husband and I have relatives in Boston and Chicago.  I KNOW they wish they were in Pelican Bay right now no matter how cool our weather may be.

This has been an incredibly busy year.  Is it just me or does the traffic seem worst than previous years?  I think Old Man Winter forced thousands of people to flee the cold….and come to Naples.

More seasonal people have equaled more renters. More renters have brought about a scarcity of rentals in Pelican Bay.  Scarcity of rentals have driven up the prices of the seasonal rentals. Even though I do not handle rentals I can still get numerous calls and e-mails for people looking to rent 2016 season in Pelican Bay.  My company’s inter office email constantly has agents looking for places all over Naples to rent for next season.

As of today, there are only 25 low-rise listings on the market in Pelican Bay. Rising rental prices may inspire former seasonal tenants to buy. Scarcity of low-rise condos may cause an increase in prices. A rise in prices may cause some of the people who purchased low-rise condos during the height of market to decide to sell their places and/or move to a larger place in Pelican Bay.  It will be interesting to see what the next season will bring.

Have you signed up for Summit Broadband?  Don and I have had Summit service since November. Outside of a couple of glitches, which Summit remedied, we’ve had great TV and Internet service.  I can not believe how clear the TV shows come in with Summit. We’re also getting faster Internet speeds than we had with Comcast. We chose not to use Summit’s phone system as we are using another voice over internet provider.  If you haven’t signed up for Summit call now to schedule your appointment at 239-529-1500.

Have you eaten at Pelican Bay’s new Marker36 restaurant? I’d be interested to see what you thought about your meal.  Feel free to share your comments at the end of this post. Don and I were down there last Wednesday. I was defiantly not thrilled with my herb-roasted chicken which consisted of a chicken leg with 3 slices of thigh meat covered in a nondescript brown sauce and side salad for $22.00. The chicken was overcooked.  I thought the price of the meal was not worth the quality of the food served.  I’ll give them another chance as I know they just opened recently.

Come on out to the Commons on February 25th between 9-12. The Community Blood Center is holding a Blood Drive. I’ll be there.  Will you?  Call 239-597-8081 to schedule yourself a time.
