Tampa Bay is located on the warm Gulf coast of Florida about an hour west of Orlando. Tampa Bay is made up of Clearwater to the west, Tampa to the east, and several other small cities. The bay is a beautiful, blue oasis of calm waters perfect for playing in the area’s warm climate.
The city of Tampa has a bustling downtown district with booming commerce. Tampa is home to one of the largest seaports on Florida’s Gulf Coast. With it’s continually growing real estate industry, Tampa offers exceptional investment opportunities for the savvy Real Estate investor. 
In Tampa, you will find the exhilarating Busch Gardens theme park. Busch Gardens is filled with exciting roller coasters, which will make your pulse climb. It is a great place to take the family for a day of fun and excitement.
Just across the Bay are the beautiful Clearwater and the amazing Clearwater Beach. Clearwater Beach has been voted the best beach in the USA. Even better than anything in Hawaii and California. 
Clearwater beach is lined with unique and beautiful condos and resorts; with quaint little shops and restaurants; and with soft, white, powdery sand. The city of Clearwater Beach is currently in the midst of an $8 Million facelift. There is no other beach anywhere with the small town feel, yet big city attributes that Clearwater has to offer. With the unparalleled beach and the quaint lifestyle, Clearwater is attracting many new residents and visitors each year. As you can imagine, there is quite a growing demand for residential real estate along this beautiful treasure of a beach. This is an amazing place to own property.
Naples is the crown jewel of Southwest Florida -- nestled on the sundrenched beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. Much of Naples' activities are naturally centered on the water, with year-round sailing, boating, jet skiing and windsurfing. Fishing for grouper, pompano, cobia and sea trout never ceases either, but in the spring and early summer, tarpon becomes the big catch. Part of Naples' significant charm is presented by the numerous top quality shopping centers, each characteristic in style. Third Street S.in Oldie Naples is just such a place. Here you will discover jewelry stores and art galleries in a setting of French and Georgian style blended with Old Florida buildings and exotically shaded side streets.
Within walking distance or a minute's car ride, you’ll arrive to downtown Fifth Ave S. Fashionable shops, art galleries and European bistros will likely capture you along the way. An underground tunnel connects two waterfront shopping plazas, comprising more than 50 fabulous shops, galleries, cafes and upscale restaurants.
Waterfront living is naturally at a premium, with developers capitalizing on breathtaking views by building skyward. Stylish condominium towers in Pelican Bay and Cape Marco on Marco Island are prime examples of luxury Gulf front living. Comprising condominiums and coach homes, The Colonnade at Park Shore even has its own private beach, while Pelican Harbor on Vanderbilt Beach Road offers condominium harbor homes with 70 boat slips close to the Gulf and to golf.
Southwest Florida has over 130 public and private golf courses, with over 50 in the Fort Myers area (Estero, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, Sanibel Island, Bonita Springs and Venice). This region has earned a reputation of having some of the most sought after golf courses in the world. It is advisable to book in advance, especially in the winter months (Florida's peak tourist season) when availability is limited. Many courses will only allow members of the public to book up to 10 days in advance. Green fees also tend to be higher during peak season. From May to October there is more chance of a leisurely round of golf since courses are rarely crowded. Over a quarter of the residential communities in the area have been built around golf courses, making this sport even more accessible to both local residents and to those owning vacation homes.
If you are a golfing or enthusiast sun lover, be sure to visit Southwest Florida.
