hi this is Doug owner of "sweet waterfront excursion". My son and I are from Big Sky country in big sky Montana. We love the mountains, but we were looking for a great spot on the water here in Florida… We definitely found it and would like to share it with you… once you're out of your car and into the front door, there will be no distractions other than boats flying by… Dolphins rising out of the water and occasional manatees swimming by the huge sundeck. We love it here and hope you will too.
Why they chose this property
we chose this neighborhood because once you were outback… Huge privacy wall on one side and no neighbors on the other,.
