Tranquil Waterfront Retreat Haven

Reverse pandemic blues at this retreat charged 4 bedroom haven with an authentic Finnish sauna, canal-front jacuzzi consciousness, paddle-boards, a kayak, replete comfy zones to lazily exchange conversation.
The tranquility of the canal will replace all Debbie downer thoughts with a symphony of luminous relaxation, bound to bedazzle wary minds and hearts.
The space
Tastefully furnished on the inside, this villa features 4 bedrooms with king or queen size beds, 2.5 bathrooms, two tuned grand pianos for dueling it out, and within a few minute paddle to the bay. After a few hours here you’ll forget about any invisible enemy that has destroyed the basic hug! Great for team building and corporate or family retreats! No parties allowed. no racers allowed. Family gathering or smaller civilized gatherings are allowed pending a conversation and clarity on safety guidelines. Long-term rental an option.
Guest access
The entire property , entire first floor, entire front courtyard, backyard with pool and spa and BBQ area, deck area where boat is docked. Paddleboards and Kayak accessible. Boat is not included in rental. Second floor bedroom is not included. It's used as office and sometimes host may decide to stay . This room has a separate gate and entrance from a private entry. Guest may request for guest not to stay on second floor for additional cost.
The host can arrange additional cleaning service for guests staying long-term (5 days or more).

The 2.5 bathrooms included three showers and one soaking tub and half bath
House manual
There’s a manual in a binder on the kitchen counter. Most significantly pertaining to water activities it is critical and required to wear life jackets when on the canal or in the bay. If life jackets are not worn you could be cited by the Coast Guard. Life jackets are next to the TV in family room and in the dock box. Note that theres a swimming pool, jacuzzi and a large fish tank which requires a brief maintenance weekly. While someone will not enter the home, we appreciate your cooperation in allowing them to perform maintenance duties peripherally or if any equipment need repairs the technician will enter through a seperate gate without interrupting the guests. We only notify the guest if they need to get inside the house not the yard . This is a large home and we need guests cooperation to keep it in good conditionIf rules are not honored, guests will be asked to leave and will not receive a refund from the host. It is significant to note that due to some bad apples in the past, we are enforcing rules with greater scrutiny, and ask for honesty and transparency in an effort to help honor and preserve the tranquility of the community, especially with homes across the canal that absorb amplified sound that travels across the canal. For safety of our guests we have outdoor security cameras in front of driveway, court yard , back yard.
Thank you for respecting our community!
