Furnished short term, vacation rental. Welcome to your Island Retreat in the Coronado Cays! The architecture and colors of the home were inspired by the owners travels to the Caribbean. The front driveway and main entrance are designed to mimic the look of the ocean water receding with inlaid shells and sea glass embedded into the concrete. This beautifully remodeled home with many custom design elements contains dark hardwood flooring throughout the home on both levels and is comfortable to walk barefoot. Bright, natural light in every room including skylights so at night you have moonlight streaming inside.

The kitchen contains high-end appliances including a Wolf range with a French cooktop, two under counter fridges, one kitchen fridge and freezer, dishwasher, microwave and one convection wall oven. The home was designed to be open so that you may view the canal easily from the kitchen, dining and living area. The dining and living areas have 8 tall French style doors which open completely to allow an open feel from the inside to the outside patio.
