Peaceful surroundings, thoughtful renovations and an exceptional location between the bay and the gulf create an inviting backdrop for everyday coastal living.

Life in Bayside extends well beyond the front door. Residents enjoy access to a community swimming pool, tennis courts, pavilion, bayfront dock, and waterfront park, where fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and sunset walks become part of everyday life. Just outside the neighborhood, a public boat launch, pickleball courts, playgrounds and additional recreational amenities provide even more opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Conveniently located behind Silver Sands Premium Outlets and only minutes from the sugar-white beaches of the Emerald Coast, this exceptional home offers the rare combination of extensive renovations, outstanding community amenities and an enviable location that is equally well suited for a primary residence, second home or investment property.
