Summary:

Boater’s Dream: Double Dockage, Quick Channel Access, Fenced Yard



The Space:

Welcome to your ideal Florida Keys fishing retreat — a private 2-bedroom waterfront home designed for boaters, anglers and extended stays. Situated on a large, lush canalfront lot just minutes from the channel, this property offers excellent boating access with the space and setup serious fishermen are looking for. With two private docks and generous dockage, you’ll have plenty of room for your boat, gear and easy loading in and out. The quick run to open water makes early mornings and sunset cruises effortless.



This home is built for a seamless fishing experience, featuring a dedicated bait freezer for storing bait and your catch along with easy access to the channel for quick runs to the reef, backcountry or sandbars. The spacious property provides ample room for coolers, rods and all your gear, making it an ideal setup for extended fishing stays or repeat trips throughout the season.



Outdoor living is a major highlight here. The huge elevated porch offers the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water, whether you're enjoying dinner outside or relaxing with a drink in the evening breeze. The large, lush yard is fully fenced, creating a private and secure setting that’s ideal for both guests and pets. With multiple areas for lounging, dining and entertaining, the outdoor space feels like a true extension of the home.



Inside, the home is designed for comfort and simplicity. Each of the two bedrooms features a king bed, paired with two full bathrooms for convenience and privacy. The fully outfitted kitchen makes it easy to prepare meals during longer stays, and the comfortable living space provides a relaxed place to recharge after a full day outdoors.



This is also a great option for pet owners. Up to two well-behaved dogs are considered with prior approval, and the fully fenced yard adds an extra level of ease and peace of mind during your stay.



Located just minutes from the channel, this home offers fast and reliable boating access while still being close to local parks, dining options and everyday essentials. It’s a rare combination of privacy, space and functionality in the Florida Keys.
