Florida’s coastal ease and resort-minded living define this quintet of desirable homes, stretching from Ponte Vedra Beach to Kissimmee. A lock-and-go penthouse frames Intracoastal sunsets just steps from the ocean, while a waterfront home in Jacksonville Beach places comfort close to the shore. Inland, Reunion Resort offers Jack Nicklaus course access with a transferable membership, and Kissimmee delivers modern design and everyday luxury. Downtown Fort Pierce rounds out the mix with a well-situated commercial property near Marina Square and the Indian River Lagoon.
