May 24th - Looking For A Retreat? How About Vero Beach?

Vero Beach Offers Quiet Retreat From Busy South Florida

On the docket today Steve and Terry chat about the quiet beach town of Vero Beach, Florida, issues that frequently come up with flipped properties, renter fees versus deposits, and landlord’s insurance.  Vero Beach is an hour north of South Florida, and in many ways offers a contrast to the hectic pace and crowds found in the urban/suburban sprawl that stretches from Palm Beach to Miami.  Terry describes Vero Beach as a very nice community, quieter and more seasonal than South Florida, and one where nobody lives more than 15 minutes from the beach.  Many people from Fort Lauderdale and surrounding towns drive up to Vero Beach for a leisurely retreat from the hustle and bustle.

One difference South Floridians will notice right away is how much easier it is to get access to the beach in Vero Beach.  The area also contains abundant natural beauty, from the coast to the Indian River “lagoon” which the Intracoastal Waterway flows through.  Other perks include numerous restaurants and golf courses.  The luxury community of John Island offers a more exclusive experience for those who can afford it.
