Florida is the state of endless sun. Perfect for holiday homes and retirement living, every day can be an adventure. We’ve found seven properties that show just what is on offer.

Florida offers the opportunity to live close to the action with homes on sale within a holiday resort. Such a home would give you easy access to every amenity the resort has on offer, such as pools, fitness centres and cinemas.

You could also choose a home nestled within a golf course community, letting you easily play the sport every day and take part in the regular social gatherings. Gold community homes are also a little more peaceful than live in a resort.

Of course, you can also choose a home in one of Florida’s suburbs. While you may not have a pool or gold course literally on your doorstep, they will only ever be a short drive away. Likewise, theme parks, such as Disney World and Universal Studios will be just as accessible.

Discover your new Florida home below.
