This well priced, fully furnished home is turn-key ready for an investor seeking an addition to a property portfolio or for a family's primary residence (or home away from home!). Pride of ownership shows through on this 4 bed / 3 bath / 2,311 sq ft home because it was maintained as a primary residence up until July (2026) when it was converted to a Short-Term Rental (STR).

There is no HOA, however, homeowners have the optional opportunity to join the Island Oaks HOA and Water Access Community for an annual fee of $500. Residents gain access to a day dock, boat ramp, and gazebo, with a canal providing ICW access in just minutes.
