Property Description

Welcome to a place where life slows down, salt air fills your lungs, and every day feels like you slipped quietly into vacation mode. This 5-bedroom, 3-bath coastal retreat sits on a rare barrier island just three miles in length, where the sugar-white Gulf waters stretch along the southern shore and the calm Sound and Intracoastal Waterway shimmer to the north. In other words--you're surrounded by water, beauty, and the kind of scenery people travel thousands of miles to find. Here, mornings begin with the soft glow of sunrise dancing across the Sound and end with fiery Gulf sunsets that paint the sky in impossible colors. A quick stroll or golf-cart ride places your toes in the sand, while the quiet rhythm of island living replaces the rush of the mainland. Inside, the home.... offers five spacious bedrooms and three full baths, creating room for gathering, hosting, and making memories that feel a little bigger when they happen near the water. Whether it's weekend guests, family holidays, or simply spreading out after a long beach day, this home was designed to welcome everyone. But what truly sets this property apart isn't just the home itself; it's the rare lifestyle that comes with living on a narrow ribbon of land between two breathtaking bodies of water. Paddleboard the Sound in the morning. Walk the Gulf beach in the evening. Watch dolphins pass by as if they're part of the neighborhood. Because when you live on an island like this...you don't just own a home you claim a piece of the coast.
