Driving around this beautiful area of West Palm Beach, one is immediately aware that ‘old money’ exists here. Stunning, mansion style properties close to, or on the Ocean. Everything immaculately groomed, in way that  only Americans are capable of! 4, 5, 6 car garages, expensive German or Italian cars on the driveways……have we walked into a set for ‘Life styles of the rich and famous’?! Yes, we have seen such glamour in Beverly Hills, at Pebble Beach, in Newport, Rhode Island but this has its own distinct ambience and it reeks style! So often when you visit a place that you have heard so much about, when you actually get there it is a disappointment. There was nothing to be disappointed about here!
