Beach House Waterfront, Private Pool, Boat Dock on Gulf with Amazing Sunsets!

White Sands – Your Private Florida Keys Paradise

You don’t come to the islands to stay in a town!
Relax in our tropical paradise, tucked away from the traffic and noise of US Hwy #1, where privacy, nature, and open water surround you. Set on a palm-studded ½-acre property overlooking the Gulf, this home is the definition of a true Florida Keys beach house.

Enjoy panoramic open-water views right from your living area, breathtaking sunsets from your private dock, and a tranquil, fenced yard with a heated in-ground concrete pool. From house to dock to beach to pool, this home truly has it all—almost like having your own private island.

When we purchased this home in the Florida Keys, privacy and being close to nature were our top priorities. We found the perfect combination on Grassy Key, a small and peaceful island nestled between Islamorada and Marathon, famously known for Flipper and the Dolphin Research Center.

Grassy Key offers the best of both worlds—quiet island living while still being close enough to enjoy Marathon’s restaurants, grocery stores, and conveniences. You’re also perfectly positioned to explore dive sites in both the Upper and Lower Keys.

The perfect location has now been transformed into the perfect oasis, thoughtfully designed for comfort, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Relax, Explore, Repeat

After a full day in the sun, there is no better place to unwind than the cool freshwater pool, surrounded by lush gardens and the soothing sounds of island life. Sip morning coffee by the water, kayak at sunset, or watch the sky light up from the dock—every moment here feels effortless.

Whether you come to the Keys to fish, kayak, snorkel, dive, or simply relax and do nothing at all, White Sands delivers the perfect setting.

The house was nice but the rotting Seaweed all over the beach made the stay less than desirable. No fault of the owners or house. We picked the wrong time of year. Smelled like rotten eggs and two of us got bad rashes from the water. Totally our fault for not doing better Reasearch. House was nice just wrong time of year.

Overall, the trip was great. We had two issues which led to a little disappointment. The first issue was the beach. The beach was covered in decaying grass which made access to the water difficult. With the wind nearly always blowing towards the house, the smell was a little off-putting. Obviously, this is nature and difficult to prevent, but others should be aware. The second issue was the dock. It was not made clear in the listing that docking a boat here was not advisable. We had rented a boat but were unable to dock here and had to leave it at the rental. Otherwise, the property is beautiful and as listed. Very quiet.

Very nice property. Clean and well maintained. Weather cut short our time to use the pool and the heavy sargassum build up on the beach made ocean access a challenge. Of course, these factors were out of the control of the owners. Can’t control Mother Nature

Back to Nature! The natural habitat is amazing along with the private and quiet home with awesome views! The dock was the first and last stop each day! Enjoyed seeing numerous turtles and fish up close. The home had everything we needed and the kitchen was well equipped. Loved the pool and the lush surroundings. Coming back next year!

Location is amazing; the property needs some more attention

My wife and I stayed here and enjoyed our time due to how private and secluded the location and neighborhood is. However, there were a few things that really made us wonder if the property was being kept up with. First off, the pool looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week when we arrived with multiple iguana poops in it. My wife and I didn’t feel comfortable going into the water even after the pool crew came as they didn’t really do anything to sterilize. We found multiple dirty dishes left from previous guests in the dishwasher and a cockroach in the oven mitts running around. Mold was in both the coffee machines so we refrained from using them at any point. Overall, the house needs some work and more attention from the cleaning staff.

Very Nice Property

Our stay was very nice... the house was very well stocked; communication with property manager was prompt and very helpful. Loved sitting on the porch or the chairs on the grass (no other outdoor seating out of the sun). The grounds were very well kept and beautiful... the grass yard was gorgeous and quite rare for the Keys. We did get bit by no-see-ums, and the turtle grass was quite thick on the beach. This made it not so fun to launch kayaks. There really is no other way to do it for 'old folks', but to go right through it (sinking almost knee deep). I have to say, it did dissuade us from using them more. The kayaks were definitely used, and the fleet could use a 'refresh'. There seems to be resident turtles off the dock that made daily appearances. Also, I have to say, it was great having bathrooms off of each bedroom (ideal for 2 couples travelling together).

PARADISE!

We have stayed at this property since 2011. She feels like home every time we come. The pictures of the property are accurate. No, you cannot see the sun set on the water, but after it goes down the sky is simply amazing! Breath taking!! The grounds & pool are well maintained. We were visited every day by a turtle off the pier. Saw some sting rays too! Already booked for next year!!

Gorgeous views in a well equipped home

We had a lovely time in Grassy Key. This home was probably one of the best appointed homes I’ve stayed in. It seemed to have just about everything. The views are spectacular. Large windows to take in all the sights. The yard had amazing landscaping. Great location if you want to travel north or south. This is not the fault of the owner, but staying on Grassy Key comes with its downsides. As the name suggests the sea grass washes in and with it can be a terrible odor from time to time. While the pier and fishing dock are a great asset to the home the amount of bird droppings made it difficult to enjoy that.

This is a wonderful property. Very clean, spacious, perfect spot in the middle of the Keys. Plenty of activities around this area. We kayaked with the kayaks provided, we swam and snorkeled around the dock and beyond. The pool area was gorgeous as well. The peace and serenity the property provided was immeasurable. I highly recommend this property!
