There you'll find numerous unique restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, and a wonderful bookstore and record shop. Throughout the year there are free outdoor concerts, movies, and special events. There is a 30 mile long gulfside biking and walking path coursing directly in front of the house. Play tennis at the nearby Watercolor tennis club (fee), or take a short drive to golf as little as 5 minutes away. Kids (and adults!) love the outdoor table tennis and the palm-tree shaded Bocce ball court. Relax in the private pool or gather in the evening around the stacked stone fireplace in the courtyard. Of course, most importantly, the gorgeous beach and gulf are only steps away!

Additionally, optional travel insurance is available at reasonable cost through a reputable carrier, which can easily be arranged with our management service.
