If there is one thing the Florida Keys are famous for not being famous for, it is their beaches, especially the lack of those with soft sandy shorelines. Key Colony Beach is one of the few exceptions to offer oceanfront single-family homes for sale in the Florida Keys with private white sand beaches. Although these homes do come with a steep price tag, typically starting at over $5M. For homebuyers looking to spend less, canal-front single-family beach homes for sale in the Florida Keys are a nice alternative. In Key Colony Beach, all residents can have access to a sandy beach by joining the Cabana Club, which is a member’s members-only private swim and beach club. And, perhaps Key Colony’s most exclusive beach, is Inch Beach located on W. Ocean Drive; there are 160 owners/shareholders, and shares rarely come available to purchase.

 

Key Colony Beach offers a variety of home styles, including stilted and ground-level. With limited land, stilted structures maximize the utility of the site by building a home above flood, while also allowing the downstairs space to be utilized for storage, outdoor entertainment, and covered parking. With single-family homes for sale in, Florida Keys, carports are more commonplace. Fewer than 20% of Keys homes have attached garages, leaving many homebuyers to wonder why. Garage doors create a distinct vulnerability in hurricanes, as wind often enters through a garage door, creating uplift on the attached roof structure. Whereas a carport allows the wind to pass through the opening.

 

If you’re looking for something to do off the water, Key Colony Beach offers a variety of activities to participate in for residents and visitors. Spend the afternoon at the Key Colony Beach 9-hole golf course or bike to a game of tennis or pickleball. Looking for an opportunity to socialize, join the Key Colony Beach Fishing & Boating Club or Community Association, both participate, support, and/or organize many of the annual community events such as the KCB Christmas Boat Parade, Clam Bake, KCB Days, Kids Fishing Tournament, and more.
