Congrats guys, So awesome to hear you are setting yourselves up to “retire”. On a side note we’ll be down in Casa Marina area a bunch in the near future. Would be cool to meet up for a drink or something if you guys are down.
Madeleine is an AMAZING agent!! We just closed on a prop today in lower keys! My wife and I were in a pinch to buy in a hurry and I cant say enough about Madeleine. Knowledge of the keys doesn't get any better, she's always available, and has a great network of quality people in the industry to make your experience seamless...by far the best realtor experience my wife and I have ever had!
I absolutely LOVE what you two are doing. Aaron, my dad retired at the age of 43. Not afraid to take risks early in life is the way to go! I wish I had. That unit is great, even though it’s small. One just needs to sleep and shower, that’s all. I recognized the photographic prints. The decorating is awesome!
I really enjoy you guys. You both seem down to earth and real. My goal was to be retired at 57 but ended up being at 59. I still work from home but it's pretty much on my schedule. For those that can, life is about living. I will be buying some merch soon. Cheers to both of you !!
As a frequent traveler to Southeast Asia this is just what ya need. Take a shower, lay your head down and have a great day! All ya need!!! Awesome guys!
I’ve been following your channel for years, and although I don’t know you guys I’m very proud of what you both have accomplished!, nice to see you are not only a great spearo and influencer, but also a good entrepreneur!!, future looks bright!!
Congratulations to you two! You are diversifying and that is smart to do. I just want to say how refreshing it is to see a lovely young couple doing things the right way and setting such a great example for others to follow. You are industrious and genuine. The way you talk to and treat each other is such a treat to watch. Your level of respect and admiration for each other is so obvious. In your own words, you guys are crushing it. Keep up the good hard work, it is definitely paying off. Best of luck as you expand your horizons.
I just got back from staying in an Airbnb in key west! 5 days. It was great! The demand is so consistent and another group moved in right after us. I saw Madaleine’s business card at Kim’s Kuban too. You live in an amazing place! Everyone who lives there works hard to live their dream; you two included no doubt. Happy for you!
I just really wanted to say congratulations to you both! I've only been watching the channel for about a month now I feel like I've seen all your videos however… Lol. I just told my son last night who's 14 that we will be going to Key West hopefully soon to go spearfishing to which he happily agreed. If we do go, we will be staying in your luxurious and posh, less than 200 square-foot. abode… Congrats again love your channel. Love you guys feel like you're my buddies. I've never been to Key West but will let you know when I'm there. Keep up all of the fantastically prodigous life work.
I pretty much watch all your videos because there is so much learning content one can gather, but what i most love about your videos is how humble and down to earth you both are no matter how much/big you grow which is a testament to they type of person you are!! keep rocking were along for the ride..
thanks so much for the kind words, really appreciate that!

LOVE following along! You are both so awesome! You've made our move down here to live in the lower keys so much more enjoyable with all the great videos and posts
You can create your own vacation packages bundling the vacation rental, fishing cruise, cooking lessons and if they fall in love with Key West - Madeleine can show them real estate! ❤🎉
Congratulations to both of you. I'm a 33 year Realtor/Broker and to be absolutely independent I might suggest that Madeleine attain her Brokers License. Or at least to put that on your short bucket list. Best of luck, Ray Ward Ward Realty and Property Management, Tx.
Congratulations to you both on your new property. I’m not going to lie I’m very impressed on how you made the most of your space. It’s well thought out and something you both should be proud of. I caught a quick glance at the molding on the ceiling. Beautiful touch! Congrats again and who knows I may come and stay a day or two. Best of luck!!!
Loving the merch bro!!! Makes me so happy to see people I know doing well, given where we come from and seeing how many fall in the gutter and have no motivation to do better in a healthy way.
I stayed in a place just like yours last year and I loved it over the bigger hotels. Met some great people. Congrats you two and I'll definitely check yalls availability first when I go back.
Santiago's is awesome. Love hitting that place when we're on the island. The room looks amazing. Sure, it's small, but if you're spending a lot of time in the room you're doing it wrong
Hey yall, Good to be back talking to you. Im going to be honest I really miss the spearfishing video volume. The deep drop stuff was awesome too. You have special talent and enthusiasm that really takes me back to my youth. Your underwater videography is as good as the Cousteau stuff I grew up watching. Thats the selfish part of my comment. My wife and I are really pulling for yall. The new direction you are taking in life is smart and good for yall.Be sure you write these new goals down . Daily, weekly ,monthly and yearly. Read them every day and spend time visualizing them. I did all these things and retired when I turned 50. Do not be suprised at the level of energy required to stay focused. You and Maddy are gonna do it . Gonna need a place down there. Maddy will be the first person we contact. God Bless
great work guys , I use to watch UA-cam and never subscribe to anyone , not knowing the importants and the analytics of it. I finally open my own channel called flexi dental lab , I show the viewers how I do dentures and partial and nightguards. I had no idea the work and time that goes into doing videos, great respect for you guys . god bless you both ,thanks
You 2 are KILLING IT! I know behind the scenes your working hard. Im 47 and about to fly out and look at some property to retire /semi retire on and while its hard work getting there, finnaly seeing some fruit on those trees you planted so long ago with hard work is always so rewarding!
You two are great! Congratulations guys! It’s been a blast watching the channel grow and watching good decisions continue to help you achieve your goals and dreams! Love you guys and wish you the very best in everything you do!
Congrats guys!!! Hard work pays off. Wishing you both continued success. We are coming down to Islamorada on Saturday for a week. Hopefully the weather is good next week so we can get out on our boat.
Congrats Guys! This is a huge deal! I live in central Florida and I've been to the Keys a few times but stay at around Key Largo and Isla Morada. Would Love to see Key West! Maybe someday but congrats guys! Love to see you succeeding down there.
Aaron, looks awesome I definitely will be looking into traveling to the Key West area again did it back in 2000. I rushed it and made the worst choice stayed in a lets say not very pleasant place. Truly happy for the both of you. God Bless.
Brilliant. Love the direction you guys are going. My favourite UA-cam channel and it just keeps getting better. Keep doing it your way. Best wishes from Oz.🦘🦘
When I last visited key west ,I thought I was one of the nicest places I’d visited in the US. It had a very friendly, inviting and pleasant feel. Of all the places I’ve visited it stands out. When I look at Keywest today it’s obvious many other people feel the same. I’m hoping to make another visit, a your spot looks perfect for a couple days visit. Very happy for you to have a nice place for guests to stay.
Still top priority on my list to go down with my wife and 6 yr. old son for a freedive trip and maybe a paddle board one. We are in the central Florida area. We have been fostering a kiddo and that has been our priority, Icant wait to head down and maybe meet you guys.
Truly the salt of the earth guys. Such good people. I hope to get the chance to stay there someday and meet you both. Would love to come down for a few days of fishing. Love the channels. Well done!
Hi, Aaron and Madeline! I've been following y'all for a while now. My husband and I stayed at the Galleria in 2013. This is the unit we stayed in! ❤❤❤ If someone is going to be out and about around the island and needs a place to crash, shower, and just chill... this place is PERFECT! ❤ Congratulations on your purchase! I have ONE suggestion: please replace that bed with a Murphy bed that turns into a couch like they have in RVs. It was uncomfortable trying to sit on the bed to watch TV on rainy days, and you can keep a comfy mattress on the bed that way.
AWESOME, Congratulations you guys. I wish you all the best in all your endeavors. I really enjoy your Dock Talk videos. Very well done. A very warm hello from Alaska. By the way, I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale in the 60's and 70's. The first almost 3 years of my life we lived in Key West. Haven't been back to Florida since 1976. I'm really starting to miss it terribly.
@@KeyWestWaterman Awesome, you're going to love it. I hope your adventure is even more than what you could have hoped for. By the way, (BRING WARM CLOTHES)!
Doing a seperate channel or podcast to tap into the KW local life is a GREAT idea. I am a Keywest kid...grew up there most of my childhood and then moved up north as an adult. I tell people stories about the Keys constantly. Its an amazing unique place and you would be a great ambassador imo. So glad to see you guys crushing it and making your dreams a reality. There is an old saying that goes "If you are lucky enough to find a way of life you love, you have to find the courage to live it" . I think its pretty obvious you guys are living the life you love. Keep up the great work. :)
GOOD ON'YA BOTH!! I think I drove by there yesterday cutting through to Truman from Virginia. Nice spot. You'll be able to add "property magnate" to your list in a few more years.
I’m an OG Conch and my dad was a shrimper for MANY years outta KW. I still come down every year. Will be down for the Stick Figure show in Aug. maybe I’ll see yall! CONGRATS! LOVE the show!
Nightly rentals are great for touristy towns like Key West. It is more difficult for people who work 3 months at a time there to get a rental because it is so touristy. I am glad I checked that off my bucket list. Good Luck with your new rental! It is cute!
So happy for y'all leaving your dreams!! when I used to come down for the boat races in Nov I used Suzie for rooms. She was awesome! are y'all associated with her at all? CHEERS!

Very cool. Congratulations to both of you and awesome job on including James' Photos. Should do a QR code digital guest book to add to the memories.
