Does this ring a bell with you :-

Disney World Orlando Florida!!!! – been there, done that, got the tee shirt – so why go back to Florida?

Well, what if you were to take a great unspoilt English resort like Frinton-On-Sea and put it in Florida? No highrises, no billboards,no arcades and icecream stands, just miles of deserted tropical beach.

Vero Beach is a gentle unpretentious Town. Homey, yet casually elegant. Vero Beach and Indian River County attract visitors and residents because of the cultural wealth and inherent beauty of the area. Off the tourist trail but only 90 mins from Orlando International and within easy drive of Miami, The Keys and the Everglades. It is a hidden bit of old Florida right on the treasure coast of the Atlantic. Not only will you buy in the tropical climate, beaches and boardwalks, you will step into small town America, free of graffiti and litter where folk take a real pride in the way their neighbourhood both looks and develops.

Despite the apparent exclusivity of the areas, home prices range from 200k for a comfortable 2 bed condo, 200- 300 for a 3 bed 2 bath pool home in a gated community, to many thousands of dollars for a beachside mansion. Whether for your own use or for relatives and friends your second home can pay for itself (and more) when offered to the Snow Birds who flock to Florida after Thanksgiving and Christmas to flee the icy blasts of the Northern winters.
