Our 300-foot private dock extends into Lemon Bay offering excellent fishing, a fish cleaning station, guest dockage and frequent dolphin/manatee sightings. A private kayak/jet-ski ramp on the property makes launching kayaks, a paddle board or your own water toys easy. Enjoy the water from the balconies or dock, where you’ll often spot dolphin, manatees, mullet, osprey, pelicans and other wildlife.

The beach is just a short drive, golf cart ride, bike ride, or walk away, offering miles of uncrowded pristine Florida shoreline. Evenings are perfect for board games on the porch, gathering around the fire pit, watching dolphin's surface, or unwinding at the end of the dock as the island quiets down.


The home includes 65" TVs in living room and primary bedroom, outdoor speakers, mesh Wi-Fi, washer/dryer - everything you will need for a comfortable stay.
