The guest cottage listing consists of the cottage, pool and covered boat lift which is on deep water within minutes to the Gulf of Mexico. The home is situated on an island surrounded by a seawall moat which is accessed by a foot bridge. As the tide ebbs and flows, the moat fills and empties.

As you approach the home, you're struck by its simplicity and uniqueness. Upon entering through the front door, you're welcomed by a small foyer area with the updated kitchen to the right and large open living space full of light and scenic beauty from the river.

The home features tile floors, cove lighting in the living room, the original roun ded doorways, 9-foot ceilings, and three functional fireplaces.

The newly re-designed kitchen features quartz countertops and new appliances.

Each room has its own special feel and no space is wasted. It has its original, spacious patio which overlooks the river and also features its original copper gutters.

Access to the property is gained via a private road and an automatic gate so it offers privacy and seclusion.
