My parents have a beach house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-543503 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:30:53 +0000 honeybear 543503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For sure! Sadly, the one I want was last listed at $11m, so I think it might be a while... ;) </p> <p>@artbee: We do, too. Insurance (or, you know, lack of it) is basically a deal breaker until we can pay 100% cash. Preferably for that $11m house by the sea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-543468 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:21:57 +0000 hilsy85 543468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We'd much rather have a house on a lake, or in the woods. We're not really beach people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-543407 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 09:04:26 +0000 heartonastring 543407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mum owns a cottage right on the lake. It's a little over an hour from where we live. We've had it for 26 years, so I grew up spending every summer there and the plan is for it to stay in our family for a very long time. DH and I can't wait to bring the baby there this summer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-543325 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:48:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 543325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I want my children and grandchildren to come and spend their holidays and summers at my beach house. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-543323 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:47:23 +0000 Smurfette 543323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-543241 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:21:21 +0000 heffalump 543241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. We live close to the beach so I know how beautiful it is..... but I also know the price of taxes and the crappy hurricane season stress they have to deal with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542255 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:33:51 +0000 luckypenny 542255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I grew up on the beach and it's a must for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542252 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:33:24 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 542252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, especially if we live within a short-ish drive and would be able to use it frequently. I guess it depends where we end up living though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542248 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:33:05 +0000 prettylizy 542248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We want to buy a vacation property, it might not be on a beach, but it will hopefully have some water on it or nearby. That's about 10 years away though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542246 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:32:52 +0000 pui 542246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really a beach house by the usual sense, but I would love a house right on a nice lake/river up north! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542239 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:32:11 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 542239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to buy a crappy house somewhere on the panhandle of Florida and renovate it. There are a lot of cheap houses in that area if you are willing to do work/live in a more remote area. I prefer the quieter beach towns....we talk about doing this sort of thing a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542236 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:32:06 +0000 MrsTiz 542236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah probably not. My parents have one and no one really goes there.. mountains though, absolutely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-542215 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:30:25 +0000 Boogs 542215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our plan is to one day, I hope it happens sooner rather than later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-540912 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:14:00 +0000 Alivoo01 540912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd prefer a mountain home with ski in and out privileges only because the hubby and I prefer the snow. If we were more beach people, heck yea we would!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-540901 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:10:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 540901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes.</p> <p><a href="http://pinterest.com/mamalovesowls/if-we-ever-own-a-beach-house/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/mamalovesowls/if-we-ever-own-a-beach-house/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-540899 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:09:16 +0000 JerricaBenton 540899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live about 10 minutes from the beach right now - but we'd love to have a vacation property somewhere where it's warm all the time one day! My husband especially! He's not a fan of cold, long winters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-540886 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:03:32 +0000 KissMeCait 540886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! We're actually considering buying a lake house, though we'd live there full time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-540884 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:02:56 +0000 Charm54 540884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are very lucky that my grandmother has a cottage right on the beach - it's about a 10 minute drive from our house. During the summers I pretty much live there and schedule my life around the tide &amp; moon times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-540882 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:02:42 +0000 bpcmarj 540882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By your definition, we will be buying a beach house. I can't think of anywhere that we would live that's more than 20 minutes from the ocean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-want-to-own-a-beach-house#post-530696 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 18:00:00 +0000 BSB 530696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like to own a house near the beach. It doesn't have to be on the beach. I would be okay with driving about 20 minutes to get to the beach. </p>
