Fabulous Views of the Gulf of Mexico, 40' pool with built in spa waterside of the house and a lovely beach area tucked along the shoreline to west of the pool, great dockage for boating or fishing and lovely tropical grounds!

A gracious beachside style home, beautifully furnished with casual elegance, and equipped with all the amenities for agreat family vacation. 5 Bedrooms and 3 baths offer room for all, and the expansive living area can comfortably accommodate everyone from the sectional couch for TV entertainment, sitting area and dining table for 12. A window wall of glass across the length of the living area brings the outdoors in with beautiful vistas of the Gulf of Mexico which can be viewed from every area of the living areas and kitchen. The kitchen is just steps from all the fun so the cook and helpers are never away from the activities or conversations. A protected porch off the kitchen is the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet moment before the day's start or to catch up at evenings end.

The master bedroom is waterside with a bank of sliding glass doors for water views and a step out porch that adjoins the living area. The private bath has a double sink vanity, dressing area and separate shower bathing area. Two other guest bedrooms are at this end of the home, one with a queen bed and the other with custom bunk beds providing 4 twins for a great kids room. A hall bath serves these bedrooms as well as the living area. Located on the other side of the home is another master bedroom with garden views, a king size bed and private bath and the 5th. bedroom, a cozy retreat with a queen size bed.

Beautiful grounds surround the home, and a freeform shoreline creates a charming tidal area and a side yard garden with a pathway walk and tropical hammock landscaping that transitions at the shore to a lovely beach area with Adirondack chairs to relax shoreside and wiggle your toes in the sand! The perfect get-a-way atmosphere in your back yard! The shoreline has a rock revetment but there are steps curving into the water for access to wade into the water. The dock extends out into the Gulf for great dockage in the summer and fishing year-round. Dolphin pilings line two sides of the dock for additional lines to tie off your boat. A small boat ramp is located next to the pier dock for convenient launching of kayaks or jet skis. Please note the lifts are not available for guest use.

The pool in the back yard boasts fabulous views from the pool and deck, a built-in spa, beach entry area and built-in seating and stools! Poolside is a covered patio with gas grill and bar area with an under counter refrigerator for food prep or a light bite and undercover seating.

From the moment you get up to start the day to the close of the days activities this home offers an everything view of the skyline and water, from fabulous sunset color to crystal clear sky and sparkling water or the drama of storm clouds marching across the horizon, each as beautiful to view as the other.

    The Dream House was excellent! It was big enough for 7 of us. Plenty of beds, space, etc. The pool was amazing and the view even better! The property manager was very good too if there were questions/concerns. Just a FL note though…there is a lot of decaying seagrass this time of year and the smell was very strong when the wind blew. Not sure if it’s any better on the other side of the key. Also, the no see um bugs are no joke. Come prepared with bug spray and anti-itch cream!

    This was an amazing property. Words cannot express how gorgeous the views of the water were from the kitchen, the family room, the pool, and the living space below the house. The open floor plan was wonderful for our large family. In most homes, you may get a water view, but not with all of the activities and lounge space combined. They also had a pack n play and a high chair, which weren’t listed in the description. The kitchen was well appointed for our family of cooks. It had two blenders, a hand mixer, and lots of dinnerware. The only thing they didn’t have was a cocktail mixer, but with so many gadgets, we adapted. The neighborhood has a 3-mile loop that was great for our exercising adult children. Overall, if you’re looking for a restful vacation with a residential feel, look no more. This was awesome!

    We stayed at the Dream Home in Grassy Key and the property and home were outstanding. The home was beautiful and in great condition with all the amenities needed for a week stay for 12 people. The property had a beautiful sandy beach area with fire pit, lounge chairs and cast off area for kayaks. We were able to rent two boats and there was more than enough space to dock them on the pier. Great location and the property manager was fabulous and very responsive.

    The property is very nice. Along with the new upgrades, there needs to be a few more...like deck and dock boards.also it would be nice if an outside party could clear all the sea weed that loaded up in the beach access in our week's time there.

    Sadly we were greeted by a rat running around the lounge on arrival. We had 3 children under 4 and my husband was on chemotherapy so this was not a great start. The pool which we had paid to be heated before arriving due to the age of children and husband was not able to be heated due to a broken part This was coupled with flecks of paint floating in the water due to rising water levels which meant the pool water made contact with the painted surrounds. We were told the pool might be heated during our second week but this did not happen. Comms with our host were very poor. The ceiling fan in the babies room was broken on arrival and the light in the bunk bedded room flickered continuously so only a lamp could be used. The ceiling fan was mended after a few days. We asked the host to check the house before we arrived for a suitable pac and play (crib) and high chair/booster seat for eating. This had not happened and we were told there were no booster seats at the property. I hired one in advance locally to find on arrival at the property that there was one in the cupboard. We also paid extra luggage at the airport to bring a travel crib to discover a perfectly good one at the house. We chose this house with the pool so we could all relax as a family with the little ones and for my husband to have some rest and recuperation.

    Beautiful sunsets, dolphin watching, manatees, fishing and swimming were the highlights of this property. Roomy, comfortable and amenities galore..kayaks were a big plus along with extra lot size for games. Our teens had a great time. So many things to keep them busy. We loved it!
