Mustang Royale Gulf of Mexico Paradise

This beautiful three-story beach house has a front row view of the Gulf of Mexico.  This home features island decor in every room.  The third floor is the heart of the home with open uncluttered living space, open kitchen, dining room and living room, and a large covered balcony for entertaining.  This home has four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a bunkroom.  The family enjoys casual island living when they visit their paradise.

Mustang Blvd Mediterranean Beauty

This single story Mediterranean home was custom designed by the owners and built in 2005.  It offers a split bedroom plan, separate library with wood floors, 18' ceilings and every room has a view of the pool and canal.  The living room style is all about nature, with the fireplace and 18' solid oak wall as a focal point.  Outdoor living with a Spanish flair is centered around the 40' covered veranda overlooking the pool and tropical gardens.

Moorings Unit 2 Tropical Splendor

This wonderful new townhome has three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a den.  It overlooks the Marina with great views at any time during the day.  The simple tropical decor was designed by Susan Castor and highlights the owner's wonderful taste in art.  Most of the art is by local artists and is a tour all by itself.  The stained pine decking on the floors and unusual tiles throughout add to the uniqueness of the property.  Don't miss the parrot in the palm tree.

Moorings Unit 3 Contemporary by the Sea

This is another 3 bedroom, three-and-a-half bath townhouse in the new Moorings Development.  These wonderfully landscaped units with breathtaking sunset views are hard to resist.  This unit was also decorated by Susan Castor and is very contemporary with many whimsical art pieces.  Don't miss the dining room table that has a galvanized tin surface.  Stand in the kitchen and just imagine how much the iridescent tile backsplash will change during the day.  Sliding glass doors open to a covered patio near the canal for easy fishing.

Village Walk Beach Cottage

This beach-style cottage sits on a smaller lot in a community with townhome amenities like a community pool.  The ground floor of this cottage is stained cement that makes for easy clean up when the kids and dogs come in from the beach.  The kitchen cabinets have woven grass inserts and pebble glass fronts, and a brick backsplash.  The open floor plan makes it easy to entertain, and the three balconies all have views of the Gulf.  This Zach Turicchi built home has unique features that you won't see everywhere.  Make sure you ask about the laundry room door.

Pelican Condominium Hide Away

This darling two-bedroom, two-bath condo features both a Gulf and pool view from the wonderful balcony.  This condo was just recently remodeled by Scott Green, who opened up the ceiling and installed white planking for the striking look overhead.  The beach decor and soothing colors create a relaxing oasis for the family.  You won't want to miss the etched blue heron glass wall that separates the living and bedroom areas.
