Summary: This well-appointed home with modern amenities is quiet, comfortable and on the water. Watch boats go by, fish jump out of the water and a variety of waterbirds. We were fortunate to see wild parrots land on a nearby tree! Enjoy the peaceful view from two sets of sliders, back porch and dock, or explore the many beaches, restaurants and shops.
