The coastal morning is serene; white sand beaches glow golden at sunrise. The aquamarine Gulf of Mexico sparkles with crystals of sunlight. Dolphins breach along the horizon. Sailboats and yachts drift along Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway. Relax on your screened-in lanai balcony; sip coffee, tea, or fresh-squeezed citrus juice, as palm fronds dance in a salt breeze fragrant with frangipani. This sophisticated, stylish, tropical, 1250 sq. ft. beach condo is perfect for snowbirds, couples, families or small groups of friends. This is the beach vacation you’ve been dreaming of!
This Gulf-Watch condo is within walking distance to historic Bridge Street, the hub of local entertainment. Shop, dine, and play, from beach to bay! Stroll to fabulous seafood restaurants such as Beach House, Wicked Cantina, Gulf Drive Cafe & Tiki, and Green Turtle; or enjoy beachside shopping. Marvel as exotic birds catch their meals along the bay. Watch Cortez drawbridge open for ships. Take a dip in the heated pool after you catch some rays or search for seashells on the beach. The free island trolley makes a stop on Gulf Drive, right in front of Gulf Watch complex.
