Step inside to discover a meticulously updated interior and modern amenities throughout. The spacious living spaces are perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding with loved ones after a day in the sun. Prepare delicious meals in the welcoming kitchen featuring all your cooking needs.

For those seeking entertainment and dining options, look no further. With a plethora of restaurants, bars, and shops just a short distance away, you'll never run out of ways to enjoy the vibrant beachside lifestyle. Some of our favorites - Pesca's, enjoy their more upscale main dining room or head up to their rooftop bar for cocktails and small bites and enjoy the views. Beaches, sit at the marina and indulge in local seafood and good sushi. Caps on the water, perfect intracoastal views and great food and drinks (a locals favorite). Head downtown for many other options. For your grocery shopping needs Publix is 1/2 a mile away.
