A stunning resort like atmosphere is the setting for this charming Mermaid Cottage! On the quiet cul-de-sac of an island surrounded by Phillippi Creek, this protected waterway offers easy boating with the rare combination of a separate boat house, dock and private ramp. The property lends itself easily to outdoor entertaining with the large covered porch, enclosed outdoor shower and beautiful swimming pool with waterfall and California deck. Inside, the owners took the good bones of the existing cement block home and lovingly rebuilt and added on over a two year period to create this unique and charming three bedroom, two bath cottage. The spacious and open floor plan allows for modern living and easy entertaining with a large granite breakfast bar, family room with vaulted ceiling and sliding glass doors overlooking the waterfront. The convenient location is just 10 minutes to the bay by boat or Siesta Key beach by car! Additional features include: California shutters, fireplace with mosaic glass tile, bar and butler's pantry, mud room, Kohler double farm sink, six burner stove top with pot filler, built in bookcases, dishwasher drawers and double wall ovens.
