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.

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.
A Proven Favorite
