About this property

The Dream House, Fabulous Gulf Front Pool Home with Spa, Dock & Beach

The Dream House on Grassy Key (formerly The Gulf House) on the Gulf offers everything you could want ... to have the perfect family vacation!
Fabulous Views of the Gulf of Mexico, 40' pool with built in spa waterside of the house and a lovely beach area tucked along the shoreline to west of the pool, great dockage for boating or fishing and lovely tropical grounds!

A gracious beachside style home, beautifully furnished with casual elegance, and equipped with all the amenities for a great family vacation. 5 Bedrooms and 3 baths offer room for all, and the expansive living area can comfortably accommodate everyone from the sectional couch for TV entertainment, sitting area and dining table for 12. A window wall of glass across the length of the living area brings the outdoors in with beautiful vistas of the Gulf of Mexico which can be viewed from every area of the living areas and kitchen. The kitchen is just steps from all the fun so the cook and helpers are never away from the activities or conversations. A protected porch off the kitchen is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet moment before the day's start or to catch up at evenings end.

The master bedroom is waterside with a bank of sliding glass doors for water views and a step out porch that adjoins the living area. The private bath has a double sink vanity, dressing area and separate shower bathing area. Two other guest bedrooms are at this end of the home, one with a queen bed and the other with custom bunk beds providing 4 twins for a great kids room. A hall bath serves these bedrooms as well as the living area. Located on the other side of the home is another master bedroom with garden views, a king size bed and private bath and the 5th. bedroom, a cozy retreat with a queen size bed.

Beautiful grounds surround the home, and a freeform shoreline creates a charming tidal area and a side yard garden with a pathway walk and tropical hammock landscaping that transitions at the shore to a lovely beach area with Adirondack chairs to relax shoreside and wiggle your toes in the sand! The perfect get-a-way atmosphere in your back yard! The shoreline has a rock revetment but there are steps curving into the water for access to wade into the water. The dock extends out into the Gulf for great dockage in the summer and fishing year-round. Dolphin pilings line two sides of the dock for additional lines to tie off your boat. A small boat ramp is located next to the pier dock for convenient launching of kayaks or jet skis. Please note the lifts are not available for guest use.

The pool in the back yard boasts fabulous views from the pool and deck, a built-in spa, beach entry area and built-in seating and stools! Poolside is a covered patio with gas grill and bar area with an under counter refrigerator for food prep or a light bite and undercover seating.

From the moment you get up to start the day to the close of the days activities this home offers an everything view of the skyline and water, from fabulous sunset color to crystal clear sky and sparkling water or the drama of storm clouds marching across the horizon, each as beautiful to view as the other.

Fantastic vacation home!
This home is even bettter than the photos. The living area is perfect for families and friends! We enjoyed the pool and the downstairs kitchen was a great place to hang out together! Everything was in perfect working order. The property is quiet and feels very secluded with the trees providing privacy all around the home. We loved the Dream House!

Chillin' at the Dreamhouse
Overall good.....could be great if there was a main floor bathroom not needing to be accessed through a bedroom...needs a second water heater for the stated max occupancy...needs a bathroom near the grill at ground floor....debris from previous hurricanes at the bottom of the water near the dock needs to be cleared....boat lifts repaired. Great living room space! Instructions only dealt with recyclables not main trash pick up day. Dock only boat friendly depending on the direction of the wind....had to prematurely return boat rental to keep from damaging boat with 15 mph winds.
