The possibilities are endless! 

This newly renovated property is a small, private complex located in a quiet residential area, on a large treed lot with ample free parking for your boat and trailer. This unit comes complete with a fully equipped kitchen, but who needs to cook with all of the great restaurants within walking distance!  Come and enjoy Old Florida with us.  Book now!
