This lovely, immaculately maintained 2 bedroom/2 bath, 2nd floor retreat instantly embraces you with its soft, soothing, aqua hues and comfortable, inviting layout. One of the best features of this unit is its spectacular 34' screened and glassed lanai running the entire length of the unit, offering RARE water views of both the sparkling clubhouse pool and shimmering lagoon, with a peekaboo view of the Gulf! Framed by graceful palms and gentle Gulf breezes, your lanai is perfect for enjoying peaceful morning coffee or sunset cocktails.

Selected living and dining room furnishings are being offered with this unit including an entertainment center with remote controlled electric fireplace. The spacious primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and ensuite bath with glassed shower. Equally spacious, the guest bedroom is large enough to hold 2 queen beds. When you're not gazing from your lanai, take the elevator down one floor for a swim in the pool or an invigorating workout in the clubhouse right next door! The clubhouse is currently undergoing complete remodeling and will include fitness rooms, a full catering kitchen, large screen TV, and an elegant, comfortable space for social events or private entertaining. This unit also comes with an assigned storage locker for all of your beach essentials. The common laundry room just steps from this unit features 2 sets of W/Ds, enabling you to complete your laundry in half the time so you can spend more time outdoors enjoying the Florida lifestyle!
