Earning bank is hard. Spending it can be just as difficult. Which is where The Blow
List comes in. Each month, we at UD will comb through everything worthwhile to bring you the best,
most ridiculous yet necessary ways to blow your stash. This month we go island shopping...because it's
always better to own than rent.
For the same price as a slab of NYC hardwood floor, you can own a piece of surf, turf, and blue waters. Go in with friends, and you have yourself a little island party (just remember to fuel up the speedboat, Gilligan). The ones worth that second mortgage:
FLORIDA
Island Name: Dolphin Jump Key
Water: Gulf of Mexico
Digs: Half an acre with a cottage and a deep water dock for fishing and snorkeling. Comes with a motorboat and kayaks for the 5-min boat ride from shore (a tad sweeter than the green shag rug that comes with that Stuy-town 1-BR co-op).
Charge it: 995 K
MAINE
Island Name: Wilson Island
Water: Moosehead Lake
Digs: 6 sweet acres of wooded bliss on Maine's largest lake, with killer views of Mt. Kineo, two cottages with phone and electricity, a boat house and (of course)...a tool shed. You're set.
Charge it: 850 K
