I finally got tired of the Georgia winters, so this year I decided to be a 'snow bird' and winter in Florida this year at a condo in Panama City. I am just one county away from Chipola College where I went to school my freshman year (1964-5). I have both a mug and sweatshirt from there that I got on a prior visit to the campus.
I rented it furnished but of course brought down some of my own minor items. The rent is $795 a month for 7 months. Paid the security and first month in cash to the realtor. In yesterdays paper I saw that she had been arrested for stealing $35,000 in cash from her realty company over the last 6 months! Fortunately I got a receipt for my cash payment so I should be OK.
The complex was built in 1969 and has about 200 units, it was initially a rental complex but changed to condos about 2 years ago. My unit is only a 1 bedroom 1 bath which sort of explains the lower price. There are 2 pools on the property, this is right next door to my building, but it isn't heated so not usable for about 3/4's of the time I will be here.
There is a king size bed and while there were 2 TV's supplied I brought my own (in photo) and my own DVD/VCR player from Georgia. While the complex is right on St. Andrews Bay, my unit is on the opposite end and just has a view of the parking lot and street. I am about 340 miles from 'home' in Kennesaw, have been back there once and will of course go back several times over the 7 months of the rental.
