From the moment you arrive at Citrus Shores, you’ll feel that easy, breezy Florida feeling. The bright blue exterior, palm trees, and waterfront setting instantly welcome you into vacation mode. Drop your bags, kick off your shoes, and head straight outside to take in the peaceful canal views, salty air, and beautiful Gulfside surroundings.
This charming cottage is designed for comfort, simplicity, and connection. Inside, you’ll find a cheerful coastal living space with fun beachy colors, cozy seating, and plenty of natural light. The open living and kitchen area makes it easy to gather after a day on the water, enjoy a slow morning coffee, or relax with your favorite show after sunset.
The home has that classic old Florida cottage feel with thoughtful updates and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Whether you’re cooking a quick breakfast before the beach, packing snacks for a boat day, or winding down after exploring the area, the space is easy, welcoming, and made for relaxing.
Outside is where this property truly shines. Step out to your private dock and enjoy waterfront living at its best. Sip coffee by the canal, watch boats drift by, cast a fishing line, launch a kayak or paddleboard, or simply sit back and enjoy the quiet beauty of the water. With the Gulf and beach so close, your days can be filled with shelling, swimming, boating, fishing, sunset walks, and everything that makes coastal Florida unforgettable.
This is the kind of place where mornings start slow, afternoons are spent in the sun, and evenings end with salty breezes and golden skies. At Citrus on the Gulf, every detail is about comfort, ease, and that relaxed beach-town feeling — where life slows down, the water is always nearby, and every day feels like vacation.

Loved the spot. The kids even want to go back. Perfect location for what we were doing. Host was amazing and flexible with check in. The week was amazing!!
Jennifer and Zach were so accommodating to our last minute booking, even making sure we were able to check in a tad early. The home was wonderful and so clean. The air conditioning was ice cold! And the view from the back patio overlooking the water was awesome. We utilized the bikes they provide as well. We will definitely be back!
