Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, this quintet of residences traces a water-minded, low-maintenance way of life. From a 55+ corner condo near St. Petersburg’s North Shore Park and Beach Drive, to a Siesta Key condominium in Gulf and Bay Club Bayside noted for zero flood or storm damage, the emphasis is on easy days and outdoor living. A Punta Gorda Isles waterfront lot offers a rare chance to build along the canals, while a gated Tidewater Preserve corner penthouse frames full river views. Sarasota’s Whitfield home rounds out the mix with no HOA and a generous Florida room.
