I might offer another option. In my late 20's I lived in what was to me a very nice apt. My girlfriend at the time was very nice but I wasn't ready to commit further. My dilemma was she wouldn't leave and being the relationship coward I am, I didn't want to go through the whole breakup thing. I decided the best and least painful thing (at least to me) , was to simply let my lease run out an move onto my boat.

At the time, my travel schedule was about 20 days per month. The marina facilities included laundry, pool, sauna, restaurant bar, showers and lockers. It worked out so well that my buddy and I split the cost of storing a 16' Hobie Cat in Marathon, FL for 20.00 per month. So basically I would travel for 4 days go to FL and go sailing for a few days, travel 4-5 more days head back to MI and to the boat for a few days. I really miss the simplicity that life.

I would guess there are plenty of marinas that would fit your bill. And the best part is you most likely don't need a boat. There are plenty of folks around here that would be happy to have someone cover the slip charge in order to avoid out of water storage. Just a thought, no taxes, nice views and generally nice neighbors.
