Florida Keys Luxury Living: Single-Family Homes with Elevators

When most people picture the Florida Keys, they think of turquoise water, swaying palms, and wide porches catching the sea breeze. But inside some of the Keys’ most elegant homes, you’ll find another surprise: private elevators.

In the islands, many homes sit on pilings for storm protection. That means lots of stairs. An elevator changes everything. It makes life easier when you’re carrying groceries, luggage, or fishing gear. It also adds comfort for guests and peace of mind for the future.

Elevators are most often found in luxury properties. They fit right in with the relaxed but refined lifestyle that makes Keys living so special. Once you have one, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
