About This Home

Welcome to 16700 Moby Dick in Jamaica Beach. This charming coastal home sits on two full lots and features an open living and dining area with vaulted ceilings, natural light throughout, and beautiful white quartz breakfast bar. Step out onto the sunrise deck and sip your morning coffee while Gulf breezes drift by—or head downstairs to the spacious covered patio with swing and concrete drive, perfect for BBQs, beach days, and gathering with friends. The enclosed two-car garage has space for vehicles, golf carts, and beach gear. Behind the garage, a bonus area known as the "Tipsy Turtle" offers a relaxed, coastal-inspired hangout cave ideal for game nights, cocktails, or just unwinding after a day in the sun. The second lot provides added outdoor space or potential for future improvements. Just minutes from sandy shores, the community pool, parks, boat ramps, and local dining, this home blends location and flexibility for full-time living, vacation use, or as an investment property.
