Property Description
Step inside this stunning Gulf-access pool home and immediately feel the pull of the water through the wide sliding glass doors that frame your first view of the canal-leading you straight to the open ocean with no bridges in your way. Imagine your boat waiting on the lift, calling you out for a morning of fishing or a sunset sail with effortless access to the Gulf. Avid boaters, you might like to know that the canal the property has access to is named Quail Canal and intersects with Gloriana Canal.

The primary bath showcases a new vanity, toilet, and refinished soaking tub, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Step outside to the pool area that feels like pure freedom-a wide-open retreat without the confines of a screen cage, where you can soak up the Florida sunshine by day and enjoy the star-filled skies by night. The solar and electric heated pool ensures your water is always the perfect temperature, no matter the season. Follow the lighted walkway to your private dock, where you can dip your toes in the water and watch fish glide by as the sun sets.
