Welcome to your own slice of island life, tucked between the Matanzas River and Butler Beach, where days can begin on the water and end with spectacular sunsets over the marsh. Offered fully furnished and move-in ready, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath home combines the relaxed coastal lifestyle with a flexible layout designed to grow and adapt with you. The main living space upstairs is bright and inviting, featuring a full kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths.

Beautiful marsh views create a peaceful backdrop for morning coffee, outdoor dinners or evenings gathered around the fire table as the sun sets.

Create a private guest suite for visiting family and friends, a comfortable space for multigenerational living, a home office, media room or separate living area. With its own entrance, the space also offers the option for rental income, if desired. Outdoor spaces are made for enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Relax in the hot tub after a day at the beach, entertain on the extended deck and BBQ area, or enjoy the privacy of the fenced backyard. The oversized 2-car garage offers exceptional room for bikes, kayaks, paddleboards, beach gear and toys, while the extended driveway provides parking for up to four additional vehicles.
