Welcome Back!

It’s been a little while — and if there’s one thing the Florida Keys knows how to do well, it’s welcome you back as if no time has passed at all.

Life in the Keys has a rhythm all its own. Sunlight dances on the water; breezes part the palm fronds, and houses become homes amid the slow, satisfying pace of improvement projects. Whether you’re refreshing a garden corner, rethinking a living space, or simply soaking in the beauty around you, this issue is a celebration of the places — and people — that make island living so special.

Of course, every summer needs a soundtrack. So alongside inspiring homes and tips and tricks for the perfect night’s sleep, we’ve assembled a summer playlist to match the season’s mood — easy, breezy, a little nostalgic, and perfect for everything from backyard dinners to sunset drives over the bridges.

Think of this issue as an invitation: to crank up the AC, embrace the golden hour glow, turn up the music, gather your people, and enjoy the simple pleasures that make this place feel like paradise.

We’re glad to be back — and even more glad to have you join us. Click on the cover below to start reading.
