Gazing out on to the bay from downtown Tampa one can admire three islands nestled amongst the tropical seascape of Florida’s coast. During the Real Estate Boom of the 1920’s J.P Davis, an inspired millionaire developer and entrepreneur saw a vision of three connected Mediterranean Islands at the mouth of the Hillsborough river tied directly to the heart of Tampa’s business district. His legacy has blossomed into one of the City's most renowned and colorful neighborhood developments. Davis Islands boasts its own private airport and yacht club.
