Dog-Friendly Waterfront Retreat w/ Huge Deck
Welcome to Dockside Serenity, your peaceful waterfront escape along Palm Coast’s scenic canal system. Designed for guests who want a slower coastal getaway centered around outdoor living, this bright and comfortable home features a huge waterfront deck, private dock access, and included kayaks just minutes from beaches, golf, restaurants, and shopping.
Whether you are enjoying coffee overlooking the canal, kayaking through calm waterways, grilling outside after the beach, or relaxing on the oversized deck while boats drift by, this home was designed for easy vacation days and laid-back waterfront living.
Perfect for couples, small families, snowbirds, remote workers, small-boat travelers, and guests bringing dogs, Dockside Serenity combines open gathering spaces with a peaceful dockside atmosphere that keeps guests coming back to Palm Coast year after year.
THE OUTDOOR SPACE
The oversized waterfront deck is the heart of the experience here. With multiple seating and dining areas overlooking the canal, guests have plenty of room to spread out, reconnect, and enjoy Palm Coast’s relaxed waterfront lifestyle.
Spend afternoons kayaking through the canal system, fishing from the dock, or simply enjoying the breeze from the lounge chairs after a day exploring the area. The large outdoor setup creates the kind of peaceful atmosphere guests remember long after the trip ends.
Outdoor features include:
• Huge waterfront deck overlooking the canal • Private dock with direct canal access • 2 single kayaks included for guest use • Outdoor dining table with seating for 6 • Multiple lounge seating areas • Propane grill for outdoor cookouts • Calm waterways ideal for beginner and experienced kayakers alike • Tropical landscaping and peaceful waterfront scenery
Guests bringing a small boat may be able to use the dock during their stay, but boat fit must be confirmed before booking.
LIVING SPACES
Inside, the home feels bright, open, and comfortable with multiple gathering areas designed for easy vacations together.
Whether kids are playing games in the canal-view family room or adults are unwinding after a day on the water, the layout gives everyone room to spread out while still staying connected. Large windows bring in natural light throughout the home, while the open floorplan creates an easy indoor-outdoor flow between the living spaces and waterfront deck.
The cozy sunken living room features an oversized sectional and streaming TV, while the separate family room offers peaceful canal views and additional seating for reading, puzzles, or slower evenings indoors.

• Open-concept layout with natural light • Oversized sectional seating • Streaming-capable HDTV • Separate canal-view sitting area • Game table for cards, puzzles, or family nights • Comfortable indoor-outdoor vacation flow
