Its sugar-like sandy beaches, embraced by the crystal clear, turquoise-blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico are world-renowned. This sweet beach bungalow in Holmes Beach has 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an oversized garage, a lanai, and a back patio; all ground level but worth noting it is on higher ground than other homes in Seaside Gardens.

Charmingly decorated with beachy colors and furniture, a queen bed sofa in the living room provides sleeping for 6. It is tiled throughout including the screened lanai, with a paver patio. The sliding glass door opens to the backyard and large grassy park with mature trees. The peacefulness of the area is so welcoming. New roof December 2023.
