Enjoy Gulf Coast Florida living at Casa Caladesi, a lovely vacation rental home right on the water graced by palm trees and sunsets. The house has all the water and sun you need from the organic shaped pool, the six person outdoor jacuzzi, the deep-water canal complete with boat dock right outside your door and of course the turquoise blue of the Gulf of Mexico.
THE HOUSE
Your home away from home includes three lovely sunny bedrooms, each with distinctly different character. The Camino Room has terrazzo floors and a luxurious king sleigh bed perfect for lazy mornings or afternoon naps after a swim. It is light and airy has a view of the jacuzzi and pool area. The Havana Room has a tropical flair with a deep luxurious hardwood queen sleigh bed and terrazo floors. The Palm Room enjoys direct access to the back patio and deck, with views to the pool, palm trees, and Gulf water, as well as the jacuzzi. All three rooms have overhead ceiling fans to circulate the cool canal breezes.
The spacious living area can easily accommodate a large group with five couches and tile floors in a chic modern setting. One of the couches pulls out into a comfortable bed for additional accommodation.
The open floor plan allows you to flow from the living room to the dining room and full kitchen in one gracious open space. Light flows through the space all day and you never lose the view of the water.
The formal dining room boasts a direct view of the pool, canal, and Gulf waters, framed by floor to ceiling windows and an extra wide sliding glass door with luxurious velvet curtains. It is formal enough for romantic candlelight dinners yet retains that indoor/outdoor feel perfect for Sunday brunch by the pool.
Should you feel like cooking, the full kitchen adjoins the dining room and by a counter/bar for more informal dining and so that you are not separated from the fun and the sun!
Outside is the pool and jacuzzi surrounded by rustling palms and tropical plants. All through the day pelicans, ospreys, white ibis and egrets fly by, sometimes even stopping for a visit to take a peek from the edge of the boat dock. Fish, even dolphins and manatees, splash around in the canal on their way to the Gulf. It’s the perfect place for a swim or an al fresco meal at sunset. If you bring your jet skis or kayaks you can paddle on out to the Gulf in two minutes. It takes five minutes by jet ski to get to Honeymoon Island. The nearby boat club will rent all sorts of boats and jet skis.
There is an easy access pull-up dock if you need to tie up your boat or personal water-craft. The boat lift is not available for guests.
