Cozy waterfront home perfect for a couples getaway

Cozy & very clean waterfront home, perfect for a couples getaway. Property is overlooking the Saint Andrews Channel with access to a small private wharf. Unfortunately you cannot dive from or dock boat on wharf. Ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing or simply just putting your feet up and relaxing. After a day on the water relax in front of a small campfire and watch the boats returning for the evening as the sunsets. A perfect, well deserved day of peace, calm and tranquility.

A cozy living area is equipped with a dark brown sofa and a wooden coffee table. A lamp stands beside the sofa, while a wood stove adds warmth to the space. Art pieces adorn the walls, and natural light enters through the glass door leading to the balcony.
