This is the ultimate dream home I could ever imagine !!! HGTV is so awesome for running this contest. This will certainly make some lucky winner very happy.
Great home….The only issue I have is the kids room being on the 1st Fl, what if you have small children? Looking forward to viewing the show tonight. Hoping that god will smile on my family and grant my wish of move them out of New York and into a relaxed environment.
GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE…..HAPPY NEW YEAR. :O)
I would like to know who designed this house–oh my goodness–3 floors-and the kids’ room is on the bottom floor with big open patio doors entering the house/room while master is on the top floor. Talk about unsafe layout–and I do not see a bathroom associated with this bedroom.–Guess bedroom should be on the bottom floor with bathroom (can be transformed into a home office if need be)==kids room should be on 2nd floor with bathroom/double vanity. Master is fine on top floor. It should be re looked it –very unsafe. I realize whomever wins the house can do what they want–but just to work the plans this way –seems like the designers are not concerned with safety.

I would like to know where the eletical closet is?What about Heat and cooling?Fresh water?
One word describes this home – Dreamy!!
Another exciting Dream Home from HGTV! Looking forward to the tour on HGTV tonight!j
This home is absolutely breath taking! Who wouldn’t want to relax and have fun here! Our family certainly would enjoy this! The Yukon looks great too! Sure hope we win!
I am not able to enter the sweepstakes, it will not allow me to put in my phone # or any #.
me again,I just left a message regarding a PH# issue. I signed out & back in again & it works.
Thanks, wish me luck…
Maybe it’s the internet, but I don’t like the flow of this year’s house at all. I’m hoping it’s the ‘net, if not, your designer needs some work!
How nice it would be to be in Florida right now. Minnesota temp is 10 freezing degrees. I entered this dream home to hopefully be in warm Florida in March.
I packed my Cruzan Rum!
I am struck by the serene beauty of this home! We have vacationed in the Keys and have never forgotten the vibrant sunsets, luxurious blue water or the silky feel of the beaches.
You have managed to capture all of those experiences in one house.
What a beautiful home, in a dream part of the country! HGTV has done it again. Once again I’ll be entering to win, but whoever wins will have a retirement home to be thankful for!
YOU HAVE HAD SOME BEAUTIFUL AND MARVELOUS HOMES IN THE PAST LIKE TEXAS BUT THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE UGLIEST DECORATED HOME I HAVE EVER SEEN-BAR -NONE! THE PICS ARE ALSO HORRIBLE, SOME IN BLACK AND WHITE. THE REFRIG IS IN THE CLOSET-UGG! THE PIC OF THE EAT IN KITCHEN IS THE “BATHROOM” WOW SOMEONE IS OFF!!!!!! HOW “WHITE” CAN YOU GET DONT YOU KNOW WHITE IS “OUT “!!!!! UGLY UGLY UGLY
YOU OUT DID YOUSELF WITH UGLY
IN THE PAST I HAVE SEEN SUCH BEAUTIFUL HOMES BUT THIS ONE LACKS “EVERYTHING” IT LACKS BEAUTY, TASTE IN FURNISHINGS AND COLOR TO SAY THE LEAST. WHITE IS “OUT” GUYS! IT SHOULD HAVE AN ELEVATOR ALSO. DID YA’LL RUN OUT OF MONEY? REALLY A REFRIGERATOR IN THE “CLOSET” NOT FOR ME.
WOW DID YA’LL MESS UP THIS TIME! PRETTY PLAIN, WOULD NOT WANT YOUR DECORATOR IN MY HOME. DOG HOUSE LOOKS BETTER——
Woohoo! I love this house and the Yukon. From looking at the picture, I can smell the air and the water! Great work HGTV!
If I won I would definitely sell it, the decor is horrible. Needs some color guys. Who did this? I wouldnt want them working for me. Looks like they had a LOW BUDGET!!! WONT IMPRESS ANYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT LIKE THE ONE IN TEXAS WAS
This dream home is so beautiful. I love all the “happy” colors that were chosen. I will be entering yet again.
Great job by all the design teams!
Thanks for the lovely dream!
Only in America could such a magnificent home be given to a person like me, or some other equally ordinary person in a drawing. I shall be dreaming of winning it, it is beautiful
This home is so airy and light. I love the colors and the furnishings are perfect for the Florida atmosphere. Looking forward to the show tonight.
Just voted–I love the house. Would love to win it for my family.
Having been to the Florida Keys on vacation not too long ago, I couldn’t imagine a more perfect spot for the new Dream Home. This is just a beautiful home in an idealic location. Cudos to whoever found this gorgeous spot! Although I’ve loved all the previous Dream Home’s interiors – it’s great to see HGTV using new interior designers and decorators this year. I’m already shamelessly stealing some of their ideas for my own home!
I’ll be sure to enter the sweepstakes everyday with the dream of winning. Good luck to all!!
As always, the dream home is absolute perfection. The Florida keys is the perfect place… a true home away from home!!
Wish me luck!!
I am looking forward to Winning this House !-Its almost in my back yard!!-I have been dreaming of owning a Home on the waterfront like this one-I will be waiting for you to announce me as the WINNER!!!
Southern Florida Girl!
This home is wonderful! The winner is a very very lucky soul. I can’t wait for the tour tonight. My family and I will defauntly be watching to see when we are annouced HGTV Dream Home Winner!!!
I know the home is a long shot But would it not be great to rest and relax, drink your coffee on the porch and say ahhhhhh…..
This Florida Native would have no prob moving only an hour south! Even as a kid, I never understood how people can survive without being close to the Keys. The boys and hubby would enjoy being closer to the surf and mommy would soak up the sun in between laundry loads. My Jeep would look great parked in front of this house. Would probably even host the neighborhood hurricane parties. Nice to see HGTV meet all of my needs in a house. Home sweet home. GREAT South FLA job. It really is not just a house, it is a lifestyle.
This home has taken my breath away. So light and airy and whimsical. We lost our son in 2003 and his most favorite place in the world was Florida..Now I understand why! Keith..put a good word in for Mom & Dad..
It is lovely but I do not think the designer recognized the fact that children in the home need to be safe. To have them on the bottom floor and the parents on the top? What were you thinking?
I have to agree with Laura about the bedrooms they definately should have been done differently.
I am not real fond of this house it is not as impressive as previous ones. Every year HGTV has outdone itself by always making the next home even better then the previous but this one OMG terrilbe. The only thing I like about this home is the location that is the only beauty of this place.
I love the decorating in this house. The colors are amazing and the furniture is great. I think you guys did an awesome job this year. The decorating is so much better than last year. If I won I would pack up that day and not think twice about moving. It’s absolutely gorgeous!
What a great home! Perfectly constructed and decorated for the Key West style. It fits right in but a lot better. I love this home and this will make someones dreams come true, hopefully mine. Great job!
I really love this house! If you win this house and do not like the room arrangements get creative and rearrange them, besides it’s a bit safer to have children ground level vs stairs (ski slope). HGTV always has fantastic remix ideas for rooms they are the masters!
Since my children are grown, I have no problem with the bedroom situation. I can see it as an issue for a younger family however. That said, rooms and their purposes are meant to be changed based upon the needs of the users. The location is what “sells” this house – anyone can repurpose and redecorate! Just to wake up and smell the salt air….mmmmmm. Love, love, love the location!!
I have read several of the comments, and have come up with a solution. Not everyone’s dream or dream house is going to be the same. How about if, in the future, the person is selected first, and then the dream home matches their personal dream. For instance, I would love to have a fire place, or fire pit, but I did not see one. It will still not stop me from entering, since I know this house was built for me. (They just forgot to ask me exactly what I wanted, or what my dream is) My dream is to win, and to win big!
If everyone will just hold their horses (so to speak) and just wait until the reveal tonight, I’m sure it will be beautiful as always. They
always save the best for the reveal!
This house is a really beautiful house, but it does not compare to the other houses you have had in the past. I agree with one of the other readers. Who designed this house. You dont put a kids bedroom on the bottom floor and Miles away from the master bedroom. Entertainment room needs to be a movie/game room to entertain in. Also where is the awesome back yard with the pool and hot tub and fire pit? Where is the guest house. If you were to be living here, I am sure you would have family come and stay with you and where would they stay? House is not big enough..Most family’s these days have more then one child. Love the big master bedroom with balcony. Living/dining/kitchen is a beautiful floor. I can see my Mom and Dad living in this home, but a family with children still at home No…I would personally Love to have the house but I would have to do some remoldeling already. Keep up the good work on the Houses. They are all gorgeous!
What is the mailing address to send in postcards for the Home Giveaway contest? I don’t see the rules of the sweetpstakes posted anywhere.
Great contest!
With much appreciation,
Brad Zerbe
I think the best thing about this house is the view. It speaks for itself. Wow. Can’t wait for the HGTV crew to come to my house and tell me I won. Can I have Vern Yip give me the news? I think he is the greatest designer in the world.
I could not have designed a more perfect home for myself. Everything about it reflects my personality. It’s like the builder pulled this out of my dreams….your last home was impressive…but THIS ONE…nothing can top. Thanks for the wonderful chance to dream….
I’m crossing my fingers!!
Saw that the kids room is on the first floor…no problem, I’d have my kid on the second floor anyway. First floor bedroom didn’t seem to have a closet or a bathroom unless I’m missing something. Also, no pool in Florida that’s a must…is it possible to put one in? Is the water accessible or just to look at. Did I see that it was a one car garage only? Let me know if anyone notices those things. Still want to win it and tweek it a bit
The keys are one of my favorite places to vacation. I would love to live there and raise my kids. The house and Yukon are beautiful!! Looking at the rules I can only wonder what the taxes and fees would be if you won this.
How much would all the taxes, etc be for this total prize package?? Kinda a bummer to think you win but can’t afford to accept the prize!: (
I have wanted to move to the florida keys since a small child. This house SCREAMS true florida key style. Awesome job HGTV, ………dreaming to win!!!!
Odd layout. I definitely implore the designers to consider families with younger children. Placing children alone on the ground floor or alone on the top floor (Tyler TX) is undesirable. Unless you are a parent you might not understand. I know that we all enjoy your hard work year after year. I am just pointing this concern out since it seems to be a common thread that repeats year after year. Can anyone at HGTV that is involved with the Dream Home comment on why they choose this approach? Much thanks and best of luck to everyone for a wonderful 2008!
