Outdoor living is part of everyday life here. The main living area opens to a balcony with room for casual dinners overlooking the tropical surroundings and Gulf beyond. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own private balcony, while the ground-floor patio gives you another place to relax, grill and come home with sandy feet after the beach. Even the third bedroom has something special—a bay window that gives the room personality and makes it equally appealing as a bedroom, office or flex space. It seems every room has a feature of its own. And the two-car garage? There’s room for more than cars. Beach toys, bikes, paddleboards, storage, a workshop—or a combination of them all.
