  • Dockside living and boating amenities are top priorities, with larger yacht slips (60+ ft.), hurricane-rated lifts, and access to private marinas highly sought after[2].
  • Exclusive coastal communities like Ono Island and select areas along 30A remain popular for their privacy, amenities, and appreciation potential[2].
  • Inventory remains relatively low for luxury and waterfront properties, favoring sellers but offering strong investment potential for buyers[6].
