The Florida Keys. The name alone can make most people immediately think of overwhelming sunsets, unbelievable greens and blues from the crystal waters, of old pirates and shipwrecks, of coral reefs and of coconut palms gently swaying in the warm trade winds. Is this your dream? To vacation here or escape the cold northern winters, or to come here permanently to enjoy the laid back life style while chasing that special dream. The Lower Keys offer all this with average air temperatures in the mid 70’s in January to mid 80’s in July and August. The average humidity here is 75-80%. The sunsets are here every day, while the tropical coral reef and warm waters are easily and quickly accessed from anywhere. The tropical paradise becomes part of you and all you do each and every day.

The Lower Florida Keys are still somewhat sparsely settled as much of the land mass of each island consists of protected wetlands, transitional wetlands, pine lands and hardwood hammocks. Much of this acreage is owned by the state and federal agencies and is set aside as wildlife refuge and is protected from further development.
Most homes occur in developed habitation areas with man made canals for good boating access to open waters. Many of these neighborhoods are bordered by the protected lands. Bird life is still prolific with many species migrating through in large numbers on their way to summer and winter feeding and mating grounds. The animal life consists of mostly Key Deer, raccoons, a variety of wood mice and a few rare Keys marsh rabbits.
The surrounding waters abound in many descriptions of marine life including bottle nose dolphins, several species of marine turtles, occasional manatees, hundreds of fish species and the very rare saltwater crocodile.
