About this property

Fantastic Water Views | Newly Updated 3 Bed Town Home | Pet friendly | Sleeps 8

  • Welcome to BAYDREAM, your perfect getaway in the quiet bayside community of Little Harbor. This beautifully furnished canal-side townhome offers 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and the rare combination of sunrise and sunset views from its four private patios.



    Wake up to peaceful mornings overlooking the canal and end your day watching boats glide across the Bay as the sun dips below the horizon. From your balconies, you may even spot dolphins and manatees playing in the water.



    Prime Location

    BAYDREAM is perfectly positioned within Little Harbor Resort—just 380 yards from the private beach and a short stroll to the resort’s two waterfront restaurants, Tiki bar, and heated community pool. Everything you need for a relaxing coastal retreat is right at your doorstep, so you can park the car and truly unwind.



    Living Spaces

    Step inside to a bright and open living area filled with Florida sunshine. The space features all-new, comfortable furnishings, including a queen-size sleeper sofa and a 65-inch Smart TV. Large windows and sliding doors connect the indoors to the patios, bringing the water views right into your living space.

    Upstairs, the master suite features a private canal-side balcony, a king bed, and an elegant ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. The second bedroom includes a fun twin-over-full bunk bed, its own bayside balcony, and a Smart TV—ideal for kids or extra guests.
