Happy Friday! For this week’s First Class Friday, we’re taking a closer look at open water homes on Big Pine Key—a place that feels like the most natural, untouched part of the entire island chain. If you love wide views, wildlife, and room to breathe, Big Pine might steal your heart.
🦌 Nature at Your Front Door
Big Pine Key stands out because it feels truly wild. The island is home to the protected Key Deer Habitat, where the tiny Key deer wander peacefully through the neighborhoods. You’ll also find the Blue Hole, a freshwater quarry where turtles, birds, fish, and even the occasional alligator make their home. Living here means nature isn’t a day trip—it’s your daily backdrop.
🌊 Why Open Water Homes Shine Here
Open water properties on Big Pine Key offer some of the most sweeping views in the Lower Keys. Imagine mornings with the sun rising over glassy water, afternoons spent launching a kayak from your own yard, or evenings watching dolphins or rays drift by. These homes often sit on larger lots, giving you privacy along with those long, unobstructed views.
Whether you’re an avid boater, a paddleboard fan, or someone who just loves the serenity of the sea, Big Pine’s open water homes offer a front-row seat to everything you love about life in the Keys.
📍 A Perfect Lower Keys Location
Big Pine Key sits about 30 minutes from Key West and roughly the same distance to Marathon. It’s a sweet spot—close enough for commuting, dining, and nightlife, but far enough away to enjoy peace and space. The island also offers schools, grocery stores, local restaurants, and of course the infamous No Name Pub, a true Keys icon.
🏡 Laid-Back Living With Room to Explore
Life on Big Pine is relaxed, neighborly, and spacious. You’re surrounded by open water, open sky, and open possibilities. It’s the kind of place where you can take a slow morning, enjoy the breeze, and feel connected to the natural beauty that defines the Keys.
