1 Bedroom Duplex On Intracoastal W/ Beach Access
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
This 1 Bedroom Duplex sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway in Florida, with a private beach access point just across the street. The furnished unit looks out over a tropical landscaped garden from its own private porch, and a 12x12 gazebo offers a spot for coffee or cocktails while watching boats pass on the waterway. Maximum occupancy is strictly capped at 2 guests, including infants and children, so this property suits couples or solo travelers rather than groups or families.
Waterfront & Recreation
Guests can fish directly from the Intracoastal seawall or head to the private beach across the street to take in Gulf of Mexico sunsets each evening. Boat docks are available on-site for an additional nightly fee, with electricity and water hookups and room for a boat trailer, while personal watercraft can also be accommodated for a daily fee. This makes the property especially notable for boaters and anglers looking for direct water access.
In-Unit Amenities
The duplex is fully equipped with a kitchen including an oven/stove and microwave, plus a washer, ironing board, cable TV, air conditioning, and heating for year-round comfort. The unit is smoke-free throughout, and free Wi-Fi and free parking are included, making it easy to settle in and work or relax without added costs.
Dining & Location
Several seafood-focused restaurants are within easy reach, including Pelican Alley Restaurant about 640 meters away and Pop's Sunset Grill roughly 800 meters away, along with Chasin Chicken nearby for casual dining. A grocery store is about 1.1 miles from the property, and additional options like Bella Rimini Italian Restaurant, Paradise Grill, and Hibachi Express Nokomis are all within walking or short driving distance.
Best for
This property is best suited to couples or solo travelers seeking a quiet waterfront retreat, thanks to its strictly enforced 2-guest maximum and private beach and Intracoastal access. It's also a strong fit for boaters and anglers, given the on-site boat docks with electricity/water hookups and direct seawall fishing access. Travelers who want a self-catering stay will appreciate the full kitchen, washer, and free Wi-Fi and parking.
Travel tips
The nearest major airports are Sarasota Bradenton International (about 30.7km) and Punta Gorda Airport (about 53km), both notably closer than Tampa International or St. Pete–Clearwater, so these are the more practical arrival points. Since a grocery store is roughly 1.1 miles away and several restaurants are within a short walk, guests without a car can still manage daily needs, though a vehicle is useful for reaching farther dining options like The Old Salty Dog Venice. Plan an evening at the gazebo or private beach for sunset viewing, and if bringing a boat or watercraft, arrange dock or trailer space in advance given the daily fees involved.
