After a day of shopping, sunshine and sand, look forward to enjoying pleasant sea breezes on one of the three porches, including one screened. The private yard and raised deck create a laid-back haven for family barbecues and stargazing. A paved driveway accommodates several cars. Set in an upscale gulf-front community, this home has a host of activities just a golf cart ride away.
