Come experience the breathtaking view of a sunset from our porch overlooking the bay! Our property is situated on 2.5 secluded lots on the bay side of the Highway 87\. Unlike a beachside residence that can be noisy and crowded, the bayside is peaceful and offers a slower pace of life with minimal traffic. You will have ample space to park multiple vehicles and trailers, allowing you the flexibility of bringing along your boats, carts, and buggies. A golf cart rental company is available within walking distance, and many amenities are accessible by a fun golf cart ride away! For beach enthusiasts, cross the Highway 87 to arrive promptly at a direct beach access road for a day on the beach or enjoy some fantastic live music, food, and drinks at Nauti's Beaver Hut. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay ### Things to do - Golfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100720000/100717700/100717677/c00b05fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sandy Feet Retreat - Stunning 3 bedroom, sleeps 13, close to beach!

May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet from the craziness Wife and I came to experience Jeep Weekend. This was the perfect place to get away from the craziness of a packed beach. Very clean, everything we could have wanted was ready and waiting. The patio is beautiful we will be back to enjoy it when the mosquitoes decide it isn’t open season on people. You wont regret renting this beautiful home! ##### Charles C.
