INDIALANTIC, Fla. - Californer -- Nestled within the pristine waters of the Indian River Lagoon, VIP Island, also known as Grant Farm Island, in Grant-Valkaria is among Florida's most exclusive waterfront enclaves. Accessible only by boat, and with only 110 homesites, this private island community offers a rare combination of luxury, tranquility, and unspoiled natural beauty. With sweeping river vistas, unforgettable sunsets, and an unmatched sense of privacy, VIP Island delivers an extraordinary and exclusive waterfront lifestyle unlike anywhere else on Florida's Space Coast.
