Share the solitude of quieter waters with cavorting dolphins, soaring eagles, ospreys, man-o-war birds, clownish pelicans, and majestic wading birds. At home, enjoy morning coffee at eye level with hummingbirds sipping nectar in the orange geiger blossoms. Watch white ibis foraging in the garden. The house, designed to catch the tradwinds, has ceiling fans in every room, making air conditioning an option. Fall asleep to rustling palms and tarpon splashng off the dock.
