Waterfront Canal-Front Home w/ Private Dock, Boat Lift Walk to Beach 3BR/3BA

Welcome to this family-friendly 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom waterfront home, ideally located on a quiet canal-front street with stunning water views. This inviting retreat blends beach relaxation, boating adventures, and fun-filled family time in one perfect getaway.

The home offers private boating access with a dry boat lift and on-site boat ramp, making it easy to spend your days on the water. When it’s time for the sand and surf, enjoy a short 10-minute walk to the beach, perfect for sunrise strolls or sunset wave-watching.

Back at the house, fun continues both indoors and out. Enjoy outdoor games like corn hole, challenge each other at the ping pong table, or unwind with a variety of board games and books. Fire up the outdoor grill for a family cookout, then gather around the outdoor fire pit in the evening to share stories under the stars while enjoying the ocean breeze and peaceful canal views.

Relax on the porch overlooking the canal and take in the beautiful, colorful sunsets that only beachside living can offer—an ideal way to end every day.

Inside, the layout includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main living area. The third bedroom and bathroom are located in a converted garage space, equipped with a window air-conditioning unit and portable heaters.

The house was ok however the bedroom downstairs is not desirable. Hot and humid in basement with large cockroaches. The main level also has roaches . I would recommend an exterminator! The boat ramp had multiple large boulders on it making it difficult to launch .We ended up moving those . The rusted almost gone handle on the back water turn on valve needs replaced. The outside elevator door hinges were broken off . One of the rocking chairs on the back porch had a broken leg . We took that to the basement so no one else would try to use it . We did enjoy the back porch and swing . We also enjoyed use of the boat lift . I’m sure this place would be fine with a few improvements.
