You’ll feel like you're floating above the clouds or the water itself. This versatile home offers two fully equipped units, giving you endless options: use it as one expansive 4-bedroom, 3-bath home, or rent one or both units for incredible income potential—the choice is yours!

Expansive bedrooms, abundant closet space, and flawless care make this one-of-a-kind property an absolute must-see.
