This bridgeless, barrier island is a tropical paradise accessible only by boat. The private ferry is included in your stay, or bring your own boat up to 21'. From the moment you park your car and board the ferry for the 10-minute ride across the ICW, you'll enter a vacation state of mind. Just relax and let your vacation begin. Your stay in this beautiful and well-equipped condo will provide privacy and the feeling of being in a tree house! You'll be just steps away from the heated freshwater pool, or the beach, where you can sit and experience the sounds and sights of the surf, swim in the gulf, or walk for miles and find the treasures only a secluded beach can provide. Refresh in the cool air conditioning in your unit and then head back to the beach to witness the incredible sunsets or sit by the firepit and enjoy the starry night sky!
The master bedroom features a king size bed, a loft accessed by a "ships ladder" has two twin beds, and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room for a maximum of six people. This unit is very well-equipped and includes everything else you may need, including linens, beach towels, chairs, and umbrella and even a yoga mat! The screened lanai is a welcome spot where you can enjoy the fresh air while reading or sharing a meal.
The island offers 7 miles of pristine sand beaches with plentiful shells, sand dollars, and shark teeth! Dolphin and manatee are abundant in the surrounding waters. During the summer, the beach is a nesting spot for endangered sea turtles which lay eggs in the warm sand near the dunes.
