Discover the hidden secret of "Terra Ceia Island" (Heaven on Earth.) This 3 bed / 2 bath completely remodeled and charming A frame home offers breath taking sunrises from the bayfront private dock. Imagine enjoying your coffee in adirondack chairs while the sun rises over the Tilette Bayou. Enjoy bike rides through the old Florida country side (Bikes included). And rent a boat and cruise the pristine waterways around the keys. This home has everything you need for relaxation, peace, and fun. This beautiful A frame home with an open-concept and natural light filled space is perfect for your family's or couples get away. You honestly won't want to leave once you've experienced the beauty and serenity of Terra Ceia. There is an open-loft Master (so if you have kids sleeping below, be prepared to wake up when they do!) But it allows you to take in the beautiful sunrise over the bay in the morning, and the sunset in the afternoon. The first level has a queen bed and a private back balcony for those enjoying the downstairs bedrooms. The 3rd bedroom is a full bunk with a twin on top. All bedroom are equipped with luxury mattresses offering a peaceful nights rest. We also bought the Ferrari of pull out sofas (American Leather sleeper sofas) so anyone "stuck" on the pull out will still have an amazing nights sleep. In the morning walk down to the bayfront private dock and enjoy your coffee as you watch the sun peak over the Bayou. Spend your day kayaking amongst the pristine Florida waters (3 person kayak and paddles included). Grab a bike from one of our 6 bikes provided, and cruise the historic island, stop by the produce stand and grab some veggies for dinner. Or grab a fishing pole and catch your lunch from either dock. Another really fun option is to rent a boat and park it behind the property. Boating experience is a plus, because getting out of the bay requires some navigational knowledge. The bay is very very shallow at low tide. But the views on Miguels Bay and near the Skyway Bridge at sunset are absolutely breathtaking! This is a space unlike any other. As I mentioned, this is our family's home, and we kindly ask that you love it as much as we do. The A frame home has a private bayfront dock in front and a boat lift with Ocean access on the rear dock. When you arrive, you'll need to open the gates and there are 2 parking spaces in the front of the property. The entrance is up the stairs where you will find the lock box. We have a property management company that handles all questions and inquiries in-app. They are almost 24-7. This is old-Florida gem is a locals-only destination with eclectic and wonderful neighbors from all walks of life. The farm-ocean-peace feeling is pervasive as you enter a safe haven that is Terra Ceia Island. The best thing is the LOCATION!!!! *** 15 minutes over the beautiful skyway bridge to St. Petersburg & Wonderful Beaches including: Fort Scott, Treasure Island / Sunset Beach / St. Pete's Beach**** **** 30 minutes to the Tampa or Sarasota Airports **** **** 30 minutes to beautiful Anna Maria Island and White Sand Beaches **** **** 30 minutes to America's Best Beach: Siesta Key **** **** 20 minutes to St. Pete's Pier with amazing views, restaurants, water park, beach, and playground **** **** 30 minutes to Bush Gardens Amusement Park **** Or just stay put and enjoy everything the home offers: Biking, Kayaks, Fishing, Boat Dock, walks, sunrises, sunsets, games and peace. If the tradewinds aren't blowing the no-seeums (little bugs) can bite! Make sure you protect yourself with bug spray or long clothing during these times. Please note: The home "technically" can sleep 10 (king, queen, full, twin and two queen pull outs) BUT its only 1200 square feet- so the optimal number of people is closer to 6.
