Also, downstairs is ready for all your river house enjoyment with fridge, tv box, fans, & lighting! Of course, the main attraction is the waterfront! Manatees frequent the canal, as with any body of water in the state of Florida beware of alligators. Dock is in place, so just bring your pontoon, skiff, or flats boat...BUT canal entry/exit will not accommodate much draft, so shallow draft boat with jack plate is ideal also you have to go under the bridge leading out of the hall's river so a high T Top is an issue depending on the tide. If you have a deep V boat or an inboard this is not the house for you if you want to keep your boat at the dock. If you have a flats boat or pontoon you should not have a problem getting in and out of the canal. The only issue might be, you would need to be able to lay down your top/Bimini to get under the bridge. When the tide is low there's just enough clearance to get through canal (about 3 ft) just stay in the middle and go slow. mid-high tide there should be no problems. Some of the locals that use the canal say they never had a problem going in and out. The property is just a few blocks away from boat ramps. Room for trailer on property. You can access the Gulf of Mexico or go to the spring to enjoy manatee. There are quite a few restaurants nearby that you can access by boat or car. Crumps, The freezer, Florida cracker, MacRae's, Margueritta Grill. The house comes with five kayaks 4 single person Kayaks and a double person kayak that can also be a single just by moving the backrest forward from the rear.
