The Island Group

What The Island Group does

The Island Group, Inc. is a privately held, member-owned not-for-profit organization that operates a single 18+ clothing-optional naturist club on a 25-acre parcel at 22146 Dupree Drive, Land O' Lakes, Florida. The site, founded in 1954 on a portion of the historic Dupree Gardens property, is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features a 38' x 14' swimming pool, a screened dining room, a shared kitchen, outdoor grills, and grounds surrounded by a canal.

The company monetizes the facility through three primary streams: per-person daily grounds access (couples $45/day, singles $30/day, with a $5 AANR member discount), 4-month seasonal memberships ($170-$285), and 12-month annual memberships ($325-$545), all tax-inclusive. It also collects $50 per person per year in AANR dues on behalf of the American Association of Nude Recreation, of which it has been a proud affiliate since 1991. Payments are accepted via cash, check, and Cash App, and visitors must RSVP by phone (727-808-9725) or email ([email protected]).

The organization has no paid staff and relies on member referrals, word-of-mouth, AANR cross-promotion, and a Squarespace-hosted website for customer acquisition. Its value proposition centers on affordability, a peaceful natural Florida setting, and a small-scale community atmosphere that the company markets as 'The Best-Kept Secret Among Florida Nudists.' All revenue is generated from a single physical location in the Southeast United States, and there are no subsidiaries, parent companies, or external investors.
