🏖️ Naples just made the list — twice over.

Forbes' new 2027 Platinum beach club honors are out, and 9 of America's 20 best are in Florida — including two right here:

✨ #7 — Port Royal Club, Naples
✨ #17 — The Club at Barefoot Beach, Bonita Springs

This is the first year beach clubs got their own Platinum category, voted on by private-club leaders for service, facilities, and overall experience. And access here isn't just about money — Port Royal's initiation hits $500,000 in 2027, and many of these clubs are invitation-only or tied to owning in the community.

This is exactly why people buy here: the lifestyle isn't an add-on, it's the address.

🗳️ Florida Amendment 3 — what it could actually mean for your property taxes.

It's on the ballot Nov 3, 2026, and it's NOT a property-tax elimination. Here's the short version:

🏠 Primary residence? Your non-school homestead exemption could jump from ~$50K to $150K in 2027 and $250K in 2028.
🏖️ Second home or investment property? The bigger exemption does NOT apply to you — but the cap on annual assessment increases for non-homestead properties would drop from 10% to 5%.
🎓 School taxes? Untouched by the exemption increase.
✅ It only takes effect Jan 1, 2027 if 60% of voters approve.

The bottom line: primary home vs. second home vs. investment — the answer is different for each, and that matters a lot in Naples, where so many buyers own more than one property.
