Housing & Relocation Perk: Private apartment accommodation on Marco Island is available for commuting jewelers for up to the first 4 to 6 months to make transition easier (e.g., traveling in from Miami/Fort Lauderdale/East Coast FL) or relocation assistance options to be discussed upon initial phone consultation.
