Private Boat Dock | Provided Kayaks | Two Living Areas Mornings start slow with coffee on the screened lanai before the water calls you outside. Launch a kayak from your private dock, cast a line, or watch for dolphins and ospreys drifting by. Gulf access puts boating and island hopping within easy reach. As evening settles in, gather back at the dock to watch the sky turn gold over the water. Book your stay and let the tide set the pace. -- THE PROPERTY -- SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS - Blue Heron Room: 1 king bed, en-suite bathroom - Coastal Room: 1 queen bed - Oar Room: 2 twin beds (can convert to 1 king bed) - Living room: 1 queen sleeper sofa OUTDOOR LIVING - Private boat dock w/ dining area - Lanai w/ lounge seating - Dolphin & manatee watching from the backyard INDOOR LIVING - 2 living areas - 5 Smart TVs - Dining table, breakfast bar KITCHEN - Keurig coffee maker (starter coffee provided) - Stove/oven, refrigerator, dishwasher - Microwave, blender - Dishware & flatware, cooking basics ACCESSIBILITY - Single-story home, 1 step to enter - Entry ramp available upon request PARKING - Driveway (4 vehicles) - Boat parking allowed on-site - Garage not available for guest use -- THE LOCATION -- - Waterfront setting with a private boat dock and direct Gulf access for boating, fishing, and sunset views - 0.4 mi to Shell Point Marina - 1 mi to Bahia Beach - 2 mi to Ruskin Commongood Boat Ramp - 3 mi to E.G.
