Cotee river gem—Dock, sports court, location, fun!

This tranquil home is like staying at a private waterfront park with lush tropical growth and stands of bamboo. Bring your boat or RV, plenty of parking (one carport). Located in a very safe, quiet and laid-back historic neighborhood. Johnny Cash used to live down the block, and there is also a sacred Indian temple mound down the street. You’ll likely see more golf carts than cars. Fish off the dock or get on the water--Gulf of Mexico is a short 1/3 mile away. Boat rentals nearby or bring your boat (access somewhat tidal dependent). Sea kayak or paddleboard to sandy Durney Key just offshore, en route often spotting dolphin, manatee, snook, snapper, redfish, trout, sheepshead, stingray, and big schools of mullet and baitfish. The Gulf is the perfect temperature right now, hop in the water and snorkel around Durney Key or near the historic stilt houses just offshore. Play pickelball, soccer, volleyball, badminton and basketball on the court in the backyard. Practice your golfing short game with a couple putters. There's also a disc golf basket and ping-pong on site. Fun to be had by all! The house itself is a very well-maintained single level home with a unique layout: the main house is two bedrooms (one room with queen bed, the other room with two twin beds) that share a bathroom. Nice original hard wood floors, central heat and A/C, fans in bedrooms, kitchen, living room, dining room. There are two long couches in the living room, one is a queen-sized pull-out with memory foam topper. There is also a comfy recliner and an 55" HDTV. 400 mb Wifi throughout home. A classic Florida screened-in front porch overlooks the river. The sun deck in back is home to a new Weber grill. The dining room table will seat up to 9, the well-equipped kitchen will seat two more at the breakfast bar. Laundry is located in the sunroom along with another small bathroom with shower. Off the sunroom (or via a separate entrance from the carport if you'd prefer), is the large master bedroom suite (mother-in-law unit). A private area with its own bathroom, another full kitchen with sink, stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, pots and pans, dishes and utensils. There is a Sleep Number Queen sized bed here and also a twin bed, massage table, and comfy chair to gaze out the large picture window at the greenery and river. Many happening restaurants nearby—Whiskey Joe's, Hooters, Gil Dawgs, Whiskey River, Catches....these are all very close by boat, walking, bike (two on site) or car. Within 5 mins drive there is a Wal-Mart Supercenter, a couple Publix supermarkets, Chipolte, Panera, BBQ, steak houses, Italian, Thai food, and a plethora of fast-food restaurants. House is within a mile of Hwy 19 yet feels worlds away. Note, if you need a pool or more inside space, consider Don's wonderful yellow house down the street--its on vrbo.
