Is Bayou Living Right For You?

I love all the different lifestyles in Florida, from golf courses to tennis communities to marina neighborhoods.  They are all great and if you spend some time talking about what you want and make a solid decision you can't really go wrong.  In fact, sometimes people will say they want to be "on the water" without too much thought.  That's where I can help.  Because, you need to be way more specific, particularly in Florida.

You have to decide why you want to be on the water.  Is it the view, or boat access or wild life?  Have you thought about lakes in addition to the ocean?  What about rivers?  Or Creeks?  And my newest favorite.....

Wait for it.......

Bayous!!!  Yes, half the state is the Gulf Coast and we have Bayous.  Typically defined as protected salt waterways with access to the ocean.  They are tidal, often have manatees (especially in the winter) and are perhaps the most affordable type of waterfront property.  Some have developed neighborhood views while others look the way they did prior to the Second Seminole War.  Whatever your water appetite, you owe it to yourself to check out at least one bayou.

 or, ask me to do it for you!
