Feature Island


Regional Information

Florida has long been America's retirement mecca with its warm climate and proximity to the rest of the United States. Hurricanes are obviously a concern in this region, as is assuring your island stays high and dry. While private island prices in Florida may seem high to Americans, for Europeans and others, the real estate feels like a bargain, particularly when figured in euros or pounds. Surrounded by water on three sides, Florida's coasts include the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic and the warm Caribbean bathes the Florida Keys. With an average of 300 days of full sunshine a year, it's easy to understand why Florida has such an active private island market.
