The location of this home is one of the best on the Island just off the Inter coastal and Lemon bay, where the constant tidal flow makes for year-round crystal clear water teeming with Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper & Grouper. Best fishing on the island right off your dock! The dock is available for you to tie up your boat for your visit. For enjoyment of the entire family you can rent kayaks, canoes, motor boats and paddle boards on the island.

Amenities in the house also include: an outdoor fire pit, a gas BBQ grill, private resort style pool (heating available for $150 per week additional) and 2 areas for al fresco dining. It is truly a spectacular property.

We love spending time with our children and grandchildren sitting on the dock and watching fish jump, birds feeding in the shallows and catch sight of dolphins and manatees swimming by. Beautiful place to enjoy the simple life!
