 Castles by the sand.
Just returned from a quick trip to the west coast of Florida. In spite of their challenging real estate market, construction continues in the high end locations along the beach. The magnificent homes along Gulf Shore Blvd in Naples are comparable in size to the homes nestled in the Avalon dunes.
Like other coastal areas, the real estate values on our island are driven by the location of the “sand” under a house. The closer the sand is to the water…the better!
A weird aside- on the flight home last night, almost 1/2 of the passengers were wearing surgical masks. Very unsettling. Glad to be back in the fresh, salt air!
 This is the weekend for the annual Stone Harbor Boat Show & Seafood Festival on 96th Street. The gray skies and drizzle should not stop the true boaters from shopping!
