Amazing backyard on water with heated pool! Beautiful pool home with a stunning travertine deck and tiki hut on the water and wildlife sanctuary! Comes with kayaks and paddle and fish for tarpon in your private and quiet backyard! No other place is as private in back as this pool! Also, ask about having the pool heated for your stay, it's just an extra fee of $35/day. Just 8 min to the nearest beach. Down the street from Kelly Park and boat ramp! Because we are located near a wildlife sanctuary, please understand that there are alligators, bugs, snakes and other wildlife present outside and may get more no-see-ums and mosquitoes than normal. No-see-ums are hard to repel, but we recommend Skin-So-Soft! What are no-see-ums? A harmless yet pesky insect that is more annoying than anything - A tiny biting fly! What are no-see-ums attracted too? People!! Why?? Because we give off body heat-they love the heat, body oder-one of the most attractive smells is body oder and perspiration, certains perfumes can also be attractive and carbon dioxide-every time you exhale, you release carbon dioxide and this is the primary thing that they are attracted to! So there really is no escaping them, but you can help repel them. Lemongrass, citronella and eucalyptus are some natural remedies or bug spray - skin-so-soft works well! Helpful things for their itchy bites and inflammation are camphor, menthol and arnica. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet -
