About this property

Beach House Waterfront, Private Pool, Boat Dock on Gulf with Amazing Sunsets!

White Sands – Your Private Florida Keys Paradise

You don’t come to the islands to stay in a town!
Relax in our tropical paradise, tucked away from the traffic and noise of US Hwy #1, where privacy, nature, and open water surround you. Set on a palm-studded ½-acre property overlooking the Gulf, this home is the definition of a true Florida Keys beach house.

Enjoy panoramic open-water views right from your living area, breathtaking sunsets from your private dock, and a tranquil, fenced yard with a heated in-ground concrete pool. From house to dock to beach to pool, this home truly has it all—almost like having your own private island.

When we purchased this home in the Florida Keys, privacy and being close to nature were our top priorities. We found the perfect combination on Grassy Key, a small and peaceful island nestled between Islamorada and Marathon, famously known for Flipper and the Dolphin Research Center.

Grassy Key offers the best of both worlds—quiet island living while still being close enough to enjoy Marathon’s restaurants, grocery stores, and conveniences. You’re also perfectly positioned to explore dive sites in both the Upper and Lower Keys.

The perfect location has now been transformed into the perfect oasis, thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Wireless high-speed internet

Cable television

Outdoor Living

Massive coconut and royal palms

Blooming hibiscus and orchids

Banana and key lime trees

Nine-foot bird of paradise plants
(Just don’t lay under the coconut trees!)

Relax, Explore, Repeat

After a full day in the sun, there is no better place to unwind than the cool freshwater pool, surrounded by lush gardens and the soothing sounds of island life. Sip morning coffee by the water, kayak at sunset, or watch the sky light up from the dock—every moment here feels effortless.

Whether you come to the Keys to fish, kayak, snorkel, dive, or simply relax and do nothing at all, White Sands delivers the perfect setting.

Back to Nature! The natural habitat is amazing along with the private and quiet home with awesome views! The dock was the first and last stop each day! Enjoyed seeing numerous turtles and fish up close. The home had everything we needed and the kitchen was well equipped. Loved the pool and the lush surroundings. Coming back next year!

The house was nice but the rotting Seaweed all over the beach made the stay less than desirable. No fault of the owners or house. We picked the wrong time of year. Smelled like rotten eggs and two of us got bad rashes from the water. Totally our fault for not doing better Reasearch. House was nice just wrong time of year.

Very nice property. Clean and well maintained. Weather cut short our time to use the pool and the heavy sargassum build up on the beach made ocean access a challenge. Of course, these factors were out of the control of the owners. Can’t control Mother Nature

Loved the house and location! It was well stocked with everything we needed...pool floats, beach towels, kayaks etc. The pool area was the prettiest I've seen in any vacation house we've stayed in. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the property manager. Would definitely stay here again!
