About this property

Heron House Gulf Front Residence at Gulfside Place

Summary:
Welcome to Heron House, a gorgeous two-bedroom unit in desirable Gulfside Place featuring panoramic oceanfront views, with a bonus den that can be used as another sleeping area or a private work-from-home space.

This condo has been completely renovated since Hurricane Ian, with a fantastic ocean-facing lanai and brand-new furniture and appliances. Gulfside Place boasts amazing resort grade amenities, including an Olympic pool, pickleball court, tennis courts, grilling areas, and a newly rebuilt clubhouse with a full fitness center. Rental includes a dedicated parking place and beach gear.

The Space:
This awesome residence boasts over 1,800 square feet of waterfront living space, situated across two bedrooms; a kitchen with new appliances and expansive quartz island; den with doors that can be closed for privacy; a dining room and dry bar with wine fridge; a laundry room with full-sized washer/dryer, and spacious living room with brand-new seating.

Heron House is configured as follows:
Primary Bedroom: King bed with an ocean view and en-suite access to both the primary bathroom, walk-in closet, and covered lanai.
Secondary Bedroom: King bed with spacious closet and access to a hallway bathroom.
Primary Bathroom: Dual vanities with a walk-in shower, marble floors
Guest Bathroom: Single vanity with shower/tub combo, marble floors
Den: Pull-out sleeper sofa; a computer table big enough for a monitor and French doors that shut for privacy.
Kitchen: New appliances; separate pantry; well stocked utensils and cooking gear
Dining Room: Dry bar with wine fridge; limestone table seats six.
Living Room: Entertainment console; large sectional with a pull-out bed; rotational chairs.

The residence has excellent internet and the three new TVs set up for streaming – one in each bedroom and a 75-inch TV in the living area, perfect for watching the games or movies. All artwork in Heron House comes from local Florida artists.

From the open concept kitchen, dining room and living room, guests will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico from floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that span 45 feet. Yet Heron House is tucked back far enough away from the pool and common amenities so you will feel like you’re staying at your own peaceful private island oasis. The lanai is the perfect place to unwind, thanks to a second dining space and cushy chairs for sitting back and taking in the view with your favorite beverage.
