Homes by WestBay is on top of their game right now. Our Key West II in Anclote Reserve at Starkey Ranch is getting ready to take off. The permit box is up. The blueprints are on site. The lot has been cleared. Let’s get this show on the row!
Anclote Reserve Drone Footage
Here are some videos we took of the Homes by WestBay, Anclote Reserve at Starkey Ranch Community on September 7, 2019. These were taken from our DJI Phantom Pro 3 drone that we’ve had for a few years. We haven’t had it out in quite a while so we were quite pleased that it still…
Pre-Construction Meeting!
More meetings! I will tell you that while the number of meetings can seem a bit crazy, we are actually really impressed with the level of detail that Homes by WestBay puts into the process before construction actually kicks off. Our design center consultant, Tricia, told us about how “process heavy” that Homes by WestBay…
We’re there! The Design Center Appointment!
We made it! Today was our final and formal appointment with the design center team that would help us put the finishing touches on our new Key West II home. Jeff and Annie Rocks (our amazing Realtor, Interior Designer, and overall wonder woman) had spent many hours, over many visits, going through all of the…
Let’s Talk Technology. Have you heard of CAT6?
We met with Synergy Florida today to start working out our technology and other low voltage needs. It was an interesting meeting and one we had been thinking about for quite some time. This meeting was to plan where we wanted our network cabling, our demarc, cameras, alarm systems and just about anything the electrician…
Granite, Quartz and Vinyl Plank Floors
The amount of options for countertops is mind boggling. Do we go with Quartz? Do we go with Granite? Why can’t we just use plywood and paint it a really pretty color? It would save a ton of money. That’s not a real argument, at least not one I’ve said to Jeff. We really liked…
Level What? That’s An Upgrade? I Quit!
Today was my first time visiting the WestBay Homes Design Center. They have an “open house” a few times per month for new customers to attend so that they can get a feel for what they want in their new home. Jeff has already been there with Annie a few times and so they were…
Selling Our Home. Simple, Right?
We had signed the agreement with WestBay Homes and we were ready to get going. What’s next? Oh yeah, selling our existing home. That shouldn’t be a big deal, right? I mean, we didn’t have much going on and could take our time, right? No. In the next few weeks, we had a business trip…
We like Key West, too.
We looked at quite a few model homes. We never really fell in love with anything until we came across the Key West II. The floorplan was great, very open and airy and felt like it had a lot of room to move about it. The bedrooms were centrally located on the first (and second)…
I guess we’re going to do this!
We sat in the WestBay model home at Anclote Reserve (Starkey Ranch 75’s) with our WestBay sales rep, Julie Parker and our Real Estate Agent, Annie Rock and started walking through all of the options. I didn’t know there were this many options. I didn’t know what I wanted the orientation of the house to…
