Unique Benefits
Aside from all the amenities of the friendly Buttonwood Bay community, by far the best feature of this unit is the ever-changing view of the bay. From the upstairs enclosed balcony to the paved stone patio in the back, the unmatched turquoise water is always visible. Slowing down at the end of the day to watch the sunset is the reason to take a vacation.
Why Kids Love It
If you are a family with children, this is a quiet gated community with 24-hour manned guardhouse. The speed limit is 10 MPH and most residents respect that requirement. The boat basin offers a way to walk around the complex while staying off the road. And it is a nice opportunity to look at all the boats. You may even see some fisherman home from a day on the water cleaning their catch at some of the many fish cleaning stations scattered throughout the marina. We occasionally have manatees that come into the harbor. The three heated pools, the tennis and basketball courts offer fun for the kiddos. And of course, the sandy beach with swimming platform behind the K building is open to all. There are two kayaks at the home that are available for your use.
Area Information

Take a sportfishing trip. Worth the price. You can bring your catch home with you, then head out to one of the restaurants that will cook your catch. What a fish story to tell the folks at home. Pack the family in the car and drive the three miles north to Jacob's Aquatic Center.
