Apparently, Americans aren't the only population obsessing over the sun and fun of the Florida coast. A new Florida property site is specifically targeting UK investors with their Florida property listings.

It is interesting because the English were part of the early European explorers that came to Florida, after the Spanish, but they didn't populate the state in significant numbers. Now, a couple hundred years later, some well-to-do English are willing to pay more than a half of a million dollars to establish their second home at a condo hotel. Florida has long been a destination for people of other countries. In fact, by 1996, approximately 15% of Floridians were foreign-born, many having come from Cuba and Haiti.
