Southwest Florida
 
Looking out at Cabbage Key dockFor many years Southwest Florida residents held one of the best kept secrets in the world. Miles of beautiful sandy beaches, some of the best fishing in the world, acres of prime golf courses and affordable living were something SW Floridians took for granted. 

It's a boater's paradise here in Southwest Florida. We have miles of waterfront property where many boaters keep their boats in their backyard. The Caloosahatchee River leads out to the Gulf of Mexico and into Pine Island Sound where small island hideaways are the perfect spot to anchor for the night and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Sanibel is well known for some of the best shelling beaches in the world. Fishing enthusiasts arrive from all over the country to fish the local waters and to enjoy the abundance of fresh seafood that is typical of Southwest Florida.

 
Restaurants ... we've got them.  The usual big chain restaurants have popped up all over the place with more arriving every day. Local restaurant owners have done a fantastic job of feeding us with local seafood and gourmet meals. 
 
Low crime rate, affordable housing and a growing community are the reasons the Fort Myers/Cape Coral area consistently makes the "one of the best places to live" list for many major publications.
