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 ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22510000/22502000/22501950/38a7ea5b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Roomy 3 bedroom with great views of the Gulf of Mexico from oversized deck!
