Welcome to 'By the Sea', a gorgeous Gulf-front paradise that's a perfect choice for families, couples, and smaller groups looking for a relaxing and intimate beach experience in a well-appointed home. Once you step inside you will be greeted by a bright and open kitchen-dining-living floorplan all with Gulf views! The kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, granite counters, and appliances. The sun deck and pergola provide the perfect outdoor spots for dining or soaking up the sun. A private walkway and just a few steps separate you from the beach, so you can easily spend your time on the well-furnished deck or walk to and from the beach in seconds. This home faces South and has the benefit of being able to see remarkable sunrises and sunsets, as well as magnificent star-filled night skies. To cool off you will find a recently installed heated saltwater pool on the ground level, which features a sun shelf for a refreshing place to work on your tan and is also a perfect shallow area for kids to enjoy. The pool is partially shaded, providing a surprisingly pleasant way to help cool down from the sun on those hot Florida days. To top things off, this home also features a beachfront hot tub, where you can watch the waves as the sun sets over the Gulf. For your convenience there also is an open outdoor shower to rinse off the saltwater and sand. This section of Indian Pass has limited public beach access so there is very little foot traffic, and outside of peak times, you are more likely to see wildlife than you are to see other people on the beach. The shallow Gulf water provides for a pleasant swimming experience. This home is pet friendly and with the secluded nature of the area it is a delightful place to enjoy the beach and create lasting memories with your furry friends. The master bathroom has been updated and expanded, and now includes a romantically spacious step-in double shower. The second main floor bathroom has also been updated with new floors, paint, tile, and shower/tub. The master bedroom and the second beachfront bedroom each feature king beds. The home also includes a third bedroom with spacious queen-over-queen and full-over-full bunk beds, providing a number of sleeping options for multiple families or groups who are comfortable sharing a more intimate space. All rooms contain their own televisions. In total, the 3-bedroom 2-bathroom home can accommodate up to 12 guests. For remote workers, the master and second beach front bedroom each contain desks, and the home is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi, so you wonât be inconvenienced trying to fit some work in on your beach vacation, or it could simply be a phenomenal place to work remotely for the week.
