The Best of Both Worlds: Standalone Beach House Privacy with Ultra-Low HOA-Backed Condo Insurance Rates! BEAT THE TAX DEADLINE!

If passed, a 5-year residency waiting period will apply to anyone establishing residency after Jan 1, 2027. Buy now to secure your immediate eligibility before the rules change and increased buyer demand alters market pricing!

Nestled just two blocks from the ocean, 279 S Brevard Avenue Unit 3-1 delivers the holy grail of coastal Florida living. This unique property functions exactly like a private, free-standing home, completely separated from your neighbors, yet holds a legal condominium status.

Massive Monthly Savings: This saves you thousands of dollars annually compared to private coastal homeowners' insurance.
