FLORIDA, USA: is well known for being the Sunshine state and certainly lives up to its name. Ever popular, we have properties in the Miami and Naples area, close to all the major attractions.

• Naples: The crown jewel of Southwest Florida -- nestled on the sun drenched beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Naples is known for world class shopping, dining and abundant, challenging golf courses. It is also, only steps away from island seclusion or the untamed tropical wilderness of The Everglades. Boasting one of the nation's best sandboxes and calmest seas, Naples makes a splash with water lovers and recreationists. Friendly parks beckon sports enthusiasts and picnickers with lovely green spaces and recreational facilities.
  
  Naples, once a small fishing village and now a thriving and sophisticated town -- something like a smaller version of Palm Beach. There are a number of fine restaurants and several upscale shopping complexes, including the tree-lined 3rd Street South area. The number of golf courses per capita in Naples is said to be the highest in the world, a 1,200-seat performing-arts hall attracts world-class performers, and the town is the west-coast home of the Miami City Ballet. Unlike Palm Beach, the Naples area offers easy access to its many miles of sun-drenched white beach.

• Miami: The jewel of Florida's "Gold Coast", Miami, is one of the great cities of America. Incorporated in 1896, but discovered by the Spanish in the 16th century, who estimated the village of Mayaimi was up to 2,000 years old. It was inhabited by Tequesta Indians. The Florida East Coast Rairide arrived in Miami, in it's year of incorporation, opening up the city, and the coast, to a boom in domestic tourism. This was followed by the Florida land boom, which spanned the 1920s, through to the stock market crash in 1929. The city's population trebled during this period. Miami was ravaged by hurricanes in 1926, and 1935. During the second world war, the US Army took over the beachfront hotels to house army troops.
  
  Miami has a Caribbean flavor, with it's population swelled by migration intakes, from Cuba. Miami International Airport is the second busiest in the country, not surprising when the city boasts almost 10 million visitors annually. The biggest magnet is the coastline, with miles and miles of sandy beaches, marinas, yachting clubs and hundreds of international, and domestic, branded chain hotels. Miami is a welcoming city, of many diverse origins. It caters for people young (College students in the Spring) and the old (retirees have made Miami a haven for years). With Fort Lauderdale, Miami shares two berths in the top five cruising ports in the World.
  
  Winter is the best time to visit, but if money is an issue, come in the off-season -- after Easter and before October. You'll find plenty to do, and room rates can come down considerably. Summer brings many European and Latin American vacationers who find Miami congenial despite the heat, humidity, and intense afternoon thunderstorms. Like millions of others, they've discovered the many natural and unnatural pleasures to be had year-round in America's southernmost metropolis.
