I always thought that the other two homes were basically homes that the purchaser probably would have no interest in. Thanks for confirming that.

One thing continues to crack me up: they showed (again!) the Bon Appétit restaurant sign as an example of the "French side" when, in reality, it's adjacent to Flamingo/SB Resorts.

Villa Carabella I had never seen
the last villa we had a contract on and then fantasea owner's brought the price down and we went for it
my husband actually had not seen ANY of the houses, he saw our home after we closed, we went from the airport to closing, to the house.
so to have him see the ocean's club villa which we were under contract for $775 was stressful, he loved that place too and would have been happy with that, but I like more privacy and love the large yard fantasea came with. he was like now why did we spend double the money?
keep in mind i had been to sxm 3 times before we bought, i was also analyzing rental income based on my imaginary marketing.
Imagine the stress level when your husband has not seen the house you bought, comes the first evening and thinks i over paid, luckily over time he has fallen in love with it
we also bought this as a partnership with his brother, who tried to walk out when he first visited 6 months after closing, by the end of the week he promised to buy us out. he wants the house all to himself. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" />
I take a lot of pride that two savvy businessmen trust me blindly that i will do the right thing
also this house is the most expensive house we have ever bought
phew.

Yes, for sure, buying any house is stressful, but making that large a purchase which your spouse hasn't seen, would make me very nervous also! Glad it seems to be working out for you.

here's more of our story for all that wonder did she marry into money? lottery
came from india at 13, grew up in the ghetto's of india
3 bathrooms 30 families shared
met husband at college, he was working the grounds at our college, read trash picker upper.
got married, worked hard, shared meals, no drinks, shared one dessert at 7-11 .25 icecream sandwich
no furniture for 3 years, bought 3 more town houses/condos by the time we were 25
drove honda civic, beat up till 5 years ago. all our cars die they don't get leased or exchanged
no wasting no fancy restaurants no showing off
here's how i was able to buy this house in sxm sight unseen by my husband i promised him that the mortgage on it would be paid by me, through my other homes, if that fails i would go get a job.
for years i worked 5 am to 1 am so i could be home at 2pm when the kids get home
america is the land of opportunity in the truest sense. grateful and blessed
never forget where we started for
if you see me i am in sweats normally, no makeup, no hair, no jewelry, no name brand
i am able to step up when needed, now sometimes occasions demand it
but we are happiest at hole in the wall places and if you are going to be pretentious get out, we have no time for that BS.
ok off to do research for my next project

Very cool story and hope your get a lot of enjoyment out of your beach place. Very cool of you to share.
My grandfather and grandmother came from Eastern Europe in 1906. He ended up working in coal mines to support the 9 children born here and most of the children ended up with PhD's and all of them were college grads.
By the way, when I win the lottery, maybe we can be neighbors. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />

Will post a link when I have one
Steps are working out great, no complaints
Have retained all the old vendors so that helps if anything breaks down, they come quite fast
