Once Upon a Tide

Just minutes to the Gulf of Mexico and all it has to offer. Travel down the canal to the Gulf with calm waters and serine setting that is a hint of Old Florida. You may even get a glimpse of the often seen manatees. Your boat will be ready when you are because it can be sitting at the dock just behind the house. Kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing are some of the fun activities you can enjoy. This open concept 3 bedroom and 2 bath home with an updated kitchen, dining and great room open to the screen porch and beautiful yard, entertaining will be a breeze. Relax on the lanai under the covered pavilion while enjoying the water view. Go explore the mangroves or visit one of the many islands in one of our kayaks or paddle boards. Even go island hopping on your own boat and enjoy the many restaurants on the water with boat access. You can also enjoy world class Gulf fishing within minutes. This house is conveniently located to shopping, beaches, and restaurants and having an easy commute to Tampa gives you more opportunities to take advantage of your vacation.
