Here is your perfect, charming, island cottage, nestled on the shore of protected Rum Cove, with private dockage for up to a 50 foot boat including fixed keel sailboat, two additional boats up to 25 feet, and a beautiful grand view across the intra coastal waterway to Cabbage Key. With an East/West exposure, both sunrise and especially sunsets bathe the cottage in color and light. Come see the magical views. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home boasts the Old Florida Design, open architecture, and pine hardwood floors. You get great cross breezes as you sit among the treetops on a generous lot. It is positioned amidst some of the best fishing there is and is less than a 10 minute boat ride to the Gulf. Useppa is a bridgeless island, clearly a well-kept secret. There are no cars (well, except for the island fire truck), only golf carts. .. No stop signs but pay attention to the turtle crossings! This is truly the paradise that you envision in your dreams and it can finally become your reality to experience this piece of heaven.
