Professionally managed by Casago First Coast. Fish off your own dock at sunrise, then spend the afternoon in the pool just steps away, all from a screened lanai that runs the length of the house. This is waterfront living the way it's supposed to feel — slow mornings, dolphins passing by, and a canal wide enough to watch real boats go by.

THE SPACE

This is a single-level ranch-style home on a canal lot in the Tidelands on the Intracoastal community, with the waterway as the real centerpiece of the property. A screened lanai runs the full length of the back of the house, furnished with wicker seating and ceiling fans, opening onto a paved pool deck with outdoor dining and a private plunge pool finished with a small tiled waterfall feature. Past the pool, a fixed wooden dock with a gazebo canopy, bench seating, and a ladder into the water lets you fish, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or just sit and watch the boats go by on a canal wide enough that a neighbor across the way docks a genuine yacht.

Inside, there are two separate living rooms — one anchored by a fireplace — both furnished with new sofas and both facing the water. The dining room and a breakfast nook share the same panoramic canal view, and the kitchen has new stainless appliances and white cabinetry. The whole layout is built around bringing the water view into nearly every room rather than tucking it behind a single window.

BEDROOMS AND SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

• Bedroom 1 (Master) — 1 King bed
• Bedroom 2 (Guest) — 1 Queen bed

The master suite has direct pool-deck access, a remote-control fireplace, and an en-suite with a jetted tub, a separate glass-enclosed tiled shower, a water closet, and a double vanity. The guest rooms carry a soft sage-and-white coastal palette, and the third bedroom has its own separate entrance — handy for a group that wants a bit of independence.

BATHROOMS

• Bathroom 1 (Master) — Full bath, jetted tub + separate enclosed shower
• Bathroom 2 (Guest) — Full bath, tub + shower

THE LANAI, POOL AND DOCK

The screened lanai is genuinely oversized for a home this size — long enough for a full seating area and a dining table, with ceiling fans keeping it comfortable through the day. Just off it, the private plunge pool is compact but entirely your own, with a small waterfall feature and a full paved deck around it for lounging. Beyond the pool, the fixed dock is the real draw: a gazebo canopy for shade, bench seating, and a ladder straight into the canal for a swim, a fishing line, or a paddleboard launch.

THE CANAL

This is a wide, navigable canal connected to the Intracoastal Waterway — guests have fished right off the dock, spotted dolphins and manatees passing by, and even chartered a boat for a day trip up and down the waterway. The beach is a short walk or a two-minute drive away.
