Clearwater Beach Florida - Recently I was showing Clearwater Beach Real Estate on exclusive Sand Key to a couple looking to purchase their own piece of beach paradise.  They really liked much of what Dans Island Condos, an upscale luxury waterfront complex on our award winning beaches had to offer and I thought I would take time to put the spotlight on Sand Key Condos in one of our best beach communities.

History of Sand Key and Dans Island Condo

So whered the name ˜Dans Island come from? As history tells it Dans Island, the southern most oceanfront community on Sand Key is named after the original settler of Sand Key island, a mariner named Dan Anderson back in the early 1900s.

Back when Sand Key FL was only accessible by boat be started a fishing camp and as locals learned about this piece of paradise it was only a matter of time before it was developed - in the 1920s the first bridge was built to Sand Key and the rest as they say is history¦Sand Key is still just as popular today and Dans Island condos are the first condos youll see on the beachside as you enter Sand Key from Belleair Beach.

• REO - Real Estate Owned - means the bank owns the property (homes, condos, villas, town homes). The bank has taken the property from the home / condo owner and is now selling it.

Realize that in most cases, the bank cannot profit from a home, condo or town home until they own it. That means a pre-foreclosure or foreclosure property is not profitable for a bank and that the bank is trying to minimize the loss.
