Pine Island Cove, nestled on Pine Island, near Flamingo Bay, is a well-kept secret. Eagles and Ospreys are abundant, the island is part of Old Florida's Nature, and has some of the best fishing in the world. People from all over the country, and beyond, have come to call this over-55 community "The Cove". They also call it "Home".
Residents of Pine Island Cove may have noticed lots of activity across Stringfellow Road from the park. Large areas have been cleared of all brush and grass down to bare earth.
The following description from the Conservation Foundation of the Gulf Coast describes some of the ambitious plans for the area:
“The pastureland fronting Stringfellow Road will transform from exotic grasses back to native pine flatwoods. The once disturbed row-cropped and grazing land will be covered with beautiful wildflowers and native grasses. Volunteers will continue to plant hundreds of trees within this new grassland and the recreation area surrounding the main pond will be transformed as well. We hope to engage the community in planting beautiful shade trees for people, trees for wildlife, and wetland trees. Community members have also built nest boxes for eastern bluebirds and American Kestrels and will install them throughout the site.
The Preserve will also boast a half-mile boardwalk connecting visitors to some of Florida’s coolest, though hard-to-see places. The boardwalk will pass through salt marshes and stunning mangrove forests, before reaching a kayak dock on Matlacha Pass.
The hat contest was the centerpiece of the ladies luncheon and style show. The ladies honored the day by wearing their favorite hat because, after all, women wear many hats in their lives; mother, daughter, sister, and friend. No matter where they are or what they are doing they wear their hat proudly.
About 80 percent of the population of Pine Island Cove is made up of snowbirds. That means that they have lives both up north and down here. They have homes in nice communities in northern states. Some even have several homes.
Starting immediately, I will accept photos from you showing your home, or homes, along with a short description of where you live up north, and why you like it. Please send your best pictures, or take new photos that will show your home to best effect here. Distant, dark, or out of focus photos will not tell us much about your northern home. A paragraph or two about your northern home should suffice. I will try to upload the submissions to the website as I receive them. Please email them to steve73@aol.com
Six World War II veterans were honored on March 27th by the Nimble Thimbles, who in association with the Quilts of Valor organization, awarded quilts to each of the veterans in a "wrapping" ceremony. Attendance was great, with standing room only. The PIC Choral Club and Pine Island VFW Color Guard also participated. The six veterans are: Lionel "Hap" Metivier, William "Mack" Luten, Frank Furia, Lloyd Evans, Lloyd Dysart, and Homer Dangler. We thank these veterans, and all veterans, for their service to our country.
The disastrous algae blooms and red tide experienced by southwest Florida has made nationwide news in the past several months. Hundreds of dead sea turtles, manatees, dolphins, as well as thousands of sport fish and millions of bait fish have washed up on beaches from Naples to Sarasota. Humans have suffered as well, with respiratory ailments and, in some cases, skin lesions.
The link below will take you to a National Geographic article that explores the causes and possible solutions for the problem. Because of the complexity and scope of the issue, we are now likely to have these algae blooms on a regular basis.
We have added new tabs to allow us to provide you with information on our finances, and our meeting minutes. Just scroll over to the Minutes, or Financial tab at the top of this main page, and click on it.
Because these pages will contain financial and other information we wish to provide only to members, you will need a User Name and Password to enter that page. The office sent out a group email to all Pine Island Cove homeowners with the User Name and Password. If you did not receive it just check with the office.
The following link will take you to a gallery of the best Pine Island Cove sunrise and sunset drone photos I have taken over the past two years.
As you may be aware, there has been some disagreement in the park concerning the use of Unallocated Funds for the use of Repair of Boat Lifts. The link below will take you to a letter dated September 28, 2018 from the attorneys employed by Pine Island Cove which sets forth their legal opinion and provides the basis for the actions of the Board of Directors.
This is just an experiment. If it isn’t well received I probably will not continue it. Look for newly uploaded photos by clicking on Northern Lives tab at the top of this main page.

“Marie was so very helpful in assisting my husband and I find and purchase the perfect home for us in Madrid. She was knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly responsive during the entire process. Marie took care of so many details and walked us through every step of the buying process. She made a daunting task easy. She is the best and I can't recommend her highly enough!”
I’m Marie Ramsdal and I work with expatriates and foreign investors who want to invest or buy property in Madrid. I was born in Norway and after finishing my business studies in 2010 I moved to Madrid for work. Madrid is now the place I call home where I live with my Spanish husband and our son.
After several years in a multinational consulting firm I decided I wanted to start by myself and use my personal experience as a foreigner buying property in Spain to help others in the same situation.
All too often, buying a home is a slow, draining and highly inefficient process. On top of that, when you don’t have knowledge of the local language and the processes that applies it makes it even more complicated. I know this firsthand as I have been through it myself. Therefore I work exclusively for my clients and for me it is important that my clients can enjoy the experience of finding and purchasing their dream home in Madrid.
I understand your needs; I work only for you; and I give you the piece of mind you need to be sure that when the time comes, you are able to choose the best option for you at the best price. That is why I don´t have a portfolio of properties for sale nor collaborate with real estate agencies. As I work exclusively for my clients, I avoid any conflict of interest.
The first thing I do is to make an appointment with you to understand exactly what you are looking for. Once we have enough information, a commitment is signed so that I can start the search.
I carry out personalized and exhaustive searches of homes for sale in Madrid that tick the boxes on your wish list, particularly in terms of: location, property type (flat, apartment, duplex, villa, townhouse, penthouse, etc.), size, facilities, condition, price, etc. I search through my databases, my network of contacts, real estate agencies, and I walk the streets for you to find the property that best suits your needs.
When we have, a final target selected, a technical architect will prepare a report with the aim of identifying any major structural problems (cracks, lack of soundproofing, damp, quality of finishes, etc.) for your consideration and to verify the actual condition of the property.
When you are ready to make an offer I can with my extensive information-handling capacity and experience in the market, help you when it comes to negotiating with the vendor of your future home, to make sure you secure the lowest price.
When the deal is done and the keys are yours I assist you in the after-sales process: changes in ownership of supply contracts, doubts you may have, and any other arrangements related to the post-sale.
I truly believe my help will add a lot of value to the process: you will save time, money and most important, save a lot of frustration and misunderstandings. I will be by your side throughout the whole process.
You are unique, with your own requirements, preferences and desires. I work hard to understand and define what you are looking for. Your wishes become my own. My approach is underpinned by the principles of: efficiency, transparency, professionalism and continuous communication with you.
I am committed to the new real estate philosophy and as such, I work exclusively for buyers like you. I will never charge anything from any vendor or real estate agency: I do not want conflicts of interest and I work to reduce the purchase prices as much as possible, as opposed to the normal market practice.
I analyse, visit, compare and help you with the negotiation, and I am always willing to go that extra mile.
My fees reflect my philosophy: I charge based on success. If you don’t buy a property presented by me I will not charge you the commission.
In addition, I will be more than happy to put you in contact with trusted English speaking collaborators that can provide you with everything you may need through the purchase process:
I strongly recommend all my clients to use a lawyer when purchasing property in Spain. I collaborate with several lawyers that can offer you any legal advice that you may need during the purchase process:, review of the “contrato de arras”, review of the “nota simple”, detection of unpaid community fees/taxes, review of the sale and purchase contract or any legal doubt you may have.
Architect firms with extensive experience when it comes to quoting for and carrying out any kind of renovation work that you may require.
Banks focused on international customers that offer competitive mortgage and other financial products.
I have all sorts of clients. I work with expatriates, property investors or anyone who wants to buy or rent a property in the capital. My services span every kind of home and budget: from small purpose-built apartments to large luxury villas.

“We had a lot of help from Marie when looking for an appartment in Madrid while we were still living in Norway. As we were not able to attend viewings ourselves, Marie went on viewing after viewing for us, updating us with pictures and video of the flats, as well as her thoughts on the location. She also helped us with the online search, looking for appartements that fulfilled our criterias. We are very pleased with the service we recieved, and are happy with the flat we chose. Without this service, it would be a lot harder and more expensive to find an appartment.” Kenneth A.
