I am going to suggest Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini. Most of the Novel is set in the Caribbean. Yes, there is some violence -- it is something of a pirate novel after all -- but it is not over the top. There is also a dose or two of romance and being set in the 17th century it is also an historical novel. And hey, it was made into a movie staring Errol Flynn; if that isn't enough for you, I don't know what is.
