About this property

Spacious beach house with a beautiful view of the gulf

The fully air-conditioned house is in a quiet, exclusive residential area at the tip of the island. Miles of white sandy beach on your doorstep is one of Florida's most beautiful beaches. The house has 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large open plan kitchen and living area and free WIFI.
We renovated the house in 2021: new kitchen, new living room furniture, the mattresses, linen, towels, dishes and dining ware have been completely replaced. In 2022, hurricane-proof sliding glass doors were installed and the roof renewed.
Enjoy the lovely breeze on the terrace while having breakfast or watch the beautiful sunsets from the terrace in the evening. The special feature - your advantage: The location of the house is so close to Gulf beach and therefore very family-friendly.
The house has an optimal beach distance of approx. 150ft. The distances are short, especially when someone ' just ' wants to get something cold to drink or someone just has to go to the toilet...
Feel the breeze and relax: The house is located in the most beautiful part of the island with a direct view of the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the sunsets from the terraces of the house.
And where else is that in America? You cycle to the pier, the post office or to the 'Sandbar', one of the most popular restaurants on the island.
People come from far and wide to this insider tip to enjoy good food on the porch in the warm breeze and watch the sunset as a red ball in the gold water.
Kitschy? - No, just very natural. And you can experience that every evening from the house terraces.

By car to Mickey Mouse & Co.: You can easily reach Florida's major attractions in the Orlando area in a day trip (approx. 1.5 hours' drive) by car. And in the evening you can look forward to the tranquility of the island again....

The small cottage with pool to the left also belongs to us. It is completely separated but can also be rented. This makes both houses ideal for weddings, family reunions or traveling with two families.

During season we only rent Saturday-Saturday

The house was great! Super spacious and comfortable. We could see the beach from our balcony/porch this trip. Only issue we ran into were needing some more towels and pillow cases. But there are now some extras! There is a lot of construction and work being done across the island, so noise and traffic was less than ideal, but overall it was a very pleasant stay. It was a great trip and house!

Dear Marissa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for letting us know how much you enjoyed staying at our vacation home. We also truly appreciate your feedback regarding improvements. We always strive to keep everything in top condition for our guests. Unfortunately, the nearby construction is beyond our control, and we have no influence over when or where work begins. We believe the situation improves soon. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back as our guests in the near future! Best regards Kerstin

The house was lovely and the location was perfect. Our only complaint was that when we went to retrieve the key code the address listed on the instructions was not correct and we could not get a hold of the property manager for assistance. After hours of searching we were finally able to track down the correct address and the code. Unfortunately this didn’t get us into the house until well after midnight. We did enjoy our week and loved the proximity to the beach.

Dear Joe, Thank you for the lovely review! We feel terrible about the confusion regarding your arrival. Our management team moved just across the street, but we clearly missed the mark in getting that update to you—we’re already working on a better system for sending out door codes to prevent this from happening again. We are so glad that, despite the rocky start, you had a great stay and enjoyed the area. We hope to welcome you back again next summer! Best regards Kerstin

As the title says, it truly is a spacious house...open and full of light! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, and loved walking to the beach and into town. It was a chilly week, but we were still able to relax several afternoons on the gulf-facing deck warmed by the sun. Amazing sunset views from the upper deck! It was such a treat to have the opportunity to meet the owners and hear their story of building this lovely home.

The location of the house was awesome. 1/2 block to the beach entrance and within walking distance to several shops and restaurants. The house had very nice views of the gulf from the front deck, kitchen and master bedroom. It was neat, clean and comfortable. Our stay was great and we will not hesitate to stay there again.

Beautiful property, comfy beds and the view is amazing ! The only thing I would suggest is maybe having garbage bags , extra toilet paper and paper towels or pods for the dish washer as we had to make an extra trip out to get those items We did end up having a late check in bc the property management team said the cleaning crew missed our house, so that was frustrating but overall a wonderful stay and beautiful home and view ! Right across the street from beach access
