Summary:
Welcome to The Salty Dog — your perfect Florida Keys escape, just a half-mile from the turquoise waters and white sands of Sombrero Beach. This waterfront home blends the best of island living—sunny beach days, easy boating access, and laid-back comfort—and yes, your dog is welcome too!
**Pool Construction will be complete by January of 2026! *New photos to come once complete*
The Space:
Bring your pup along and enjoy a private 35-foot dock on a deep, navigable canal—ideal for kayaking or heading out to open water by boat. After a day of adventures, relax with your furry friend on the screened-in porch overlooking the canal and swaying palms—it's the perfect spot for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
Inside, the home offers a comfortable two-story layout, with two bedrooms and a full bath on the main floor, and a private third bedroom with en-suite bath upstairs. The fully equipped kitchen opens to a bright and breezy living area, perfect for relaxing with your whole pack—two- and four-legged alike.
Located in a pet-friendly, beachside neighborhood close to grocery stores, restaurants, and a golf course, The Salty Dog is not only named for your best friend—it’s made for them. Whether splashing in the shallows, strolling the quiet streets, or snoozing in the shade, your dog will love this island escape as much as you do. The beach is pet-friendly too!
