Top Floor Tropical Tree-house Waterfront Gulf & natural springs wildlife retreat

If you are looking for a place to relax, you will love the upper level of this 2006 built stilt home! This up/down duplex is a tropical paradise retreat with over 45 feet of waterfront direct-access gulf frontage for your own personal enjoyment. This private property on the coastal canal waterfront is situated on a quiet seaside residential cul-de-sac, and you won't be looking directly into another home across the canal. The sandy beach style 'yard' has a large patio and dock overlooking a 90-foot wide natural canal known as 'cow creek'. About 100 yards to the west of this property is the open gulf. To the east lie natural canals with freshwater springs. Water views all around.
There is a very private feel to this area with lots of water and trees and lush landscape. However, if you feel like getting out, there is plenty of dining, shopping, golfing, and night life to enjoy within a mile or so of the house. The home is fully furnished with a Queen size bed in the Master, three twin beds in the second bedroom (one is a bunk), a comfy rocking recliner and very large sofa in the great room/living room (can sleep one long person, or 2 short people). The dining table in the great room is also a pool and ping-pong table!
Sit at the tropical back patio with firepit and barbeque and you will view nature at its best! Many varieties of Ocean fish and Sea birds: Manatee, Dolphin, Sheepshead, Mullet, Gar, LadyFish, Snook, redfish, small stingray, turtles, sea otters, Pelicans, Ducks, Heron, egrets, Osprey, Eagle, Woodpecker, Blue Jay, and much more. This bay is a fisherman's paradise with a bait shop just a short walk down the lane! The water in this salt and spring-fed canal is remarkably clear and fish can be seen most any time from the patio and decks. there is a 10 x 12 foot dock for guests boating and swimming holiday pleasure. You will also have use of my canoe, 4 kayaks and a small paddleboard to explore nearby coastline and spring fed waterways. You can rent a motor boat at several nearby marinas less than one mile away, or feel free to bring your own boat.
You will be renting the upper level of the home and 45 feet of coastline yard/beach on the sunny west side of the house. The separate lower level unit and east portion of the property is used by me (the owner). I have a separate entrance to my own living space, so I won't disturb your privacy. Please note that the base rental price is for 2 people, or one person and one pet. Additional persons, or pets are $20 per individual, per night.
Large and small dogs and cats will be accepted with the same fee as an additional boarder ($20 per night, per pet). We do extensive cleaning/disinfecting between rentals. You will be responsible to keep your pet leashed and clean up their waste. There are other wild animals in the area: feral cats, raccoons, possum, and occasionally a coyote. Pet Flea prevention is highly recommended in Florida any time of the year.
Smoking is allowed only outdoors and in the covered screened porch off the living room. I've set-up the porch to be as comfortable and relaxing as any other room in the house and you can even watch the 55" tv from there. Legal intoxicants are allowed, please use responsibly and observe neighborly courtesy.
