Alligator Found in Pool on West Dilido Drive? I received a LIVE CHAT inquiry from a customer in the UK on September 3rd and found it to be a humorous conversation… Here’s the transcript and you’ve got to see ‘photo 6’ (second link) which was our discussion topic on the gator in the pool.

Drew:
Hello,
I’m looking at a property:- 204 W Dilido DR, Miami Beach. In the sixth photo there appears to be a crocodile in the pool? I’m not too familiar with Miami but I am aware of the everglades. Is this a common occurrence?

Call accepted by operator Ashton Coleman. Currently in room: Drew, Ashton Coleman.

Ashton Coleman:
I’ll take a look at the photo now to see…
Drew:
Hi Ashton, Thanks.
Ashton Coleman:
It is not a common occurrence in Miami Beach.. we don’t see alligators here
Drew:
What do you make of the figure in the pool?
Ashton Coleman:
I’m looking at each photo and which one exactly?
Drew:
Imagine no.6

Drew:
oops sorry wrong one. try this link :-
Drew:
Ashton Coleman:
sure looks like a gator…
Drew:
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Last heard about a jogger that came to an unfortunate end out there.
Ashton Coleman:
only other option is a palm leaf.. We don’t hear of gators in Miami Beach.
Drew:
Palm leaf? My wife & I at some point would like to take a trip to your town (we’re in the UK) specifically to tour and see the architecture, not sure when yet but would certainly like include these places.
Ashton Coleman:
No problem. With an email address, I’ll send you what matches your exact criteria to begin reviewing..
Drew:
Nice 1. Thanks again, keep an eye on the wild life out there! Bye for now
Ashton Coleman:
A leaf from the Palm tree which appears the same in this image. It’s a very large leaf and what I believe it to be in this photo.
Drew:
I’ll take your word for it but the tail is a bit of a give away with a bulbous body and short stumpy legs!
Ashton Coleman:
OK, Bye Drew !!
Drew:
Ciao for now.

Contact Ashton if you find a gator in your pool or care to own a beautiful waterfront home in Miami Beach.
