About this property
Gulf-Front Escape on the Forgotten Coast | Quiet Beaches, Big Views
Shorebird – a Slice of Paradise!
Step into Shorebird, a cheerful 3-bedroom beachfront retreat where every day begins with the sound of waves and endless Gulf views.
Thoughtfully decorated in a colorful coastal style, this home sets the scene for relaxation and quality time with family and friends.
Inside, the open-concept living area connects a fully equipped chef's kitchen with a bright, inviting lounge, making it easy to cook, gather, and unwind together. Nearly every room frames the shoreline, so the beach is never out of sight.
The spacious Gulf-front primary suite offers beautiful water views and direct access to the sundeck. Wake to the sound of waves, step outside to morning light over the water, and enjoy the comfort and privacy of an ensuite bath.
Outside, you'll love the brand-new sundeck (added Summer 2025)—perfect for soaking up the sunshine, enjoying al fresco meals, or taking in the breathtaking sunsets over the Gulf. With direct beach access, slipping out for a swim, shelling, or a sunset stroll couldn't be easier.
Create lasting memories at "Shorebird".
Highlights:
3 Bedrooms: 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins
High-speed internet with WiFi
Dog Friendly (no cats)
No Smoking
Comfortable climate control with both central HVAC and an efficient mini-split system in the living area
