3BR Waterfront with Dock & Heated Pool
****THIS PROPERTY IS UNDERGOING REPAIRS. ESTIMATED DATE OF COMPLETION IS NOVEMBER 2025****
456 Waterway Home is a 3-bedroom/2-bathroom, pet-friendly pool home that rests on the gorgeous intercoastal waterway. This is an extremely well-appointed vacation spot giving its guests everything they need to have fun and relax while on vacation. It all starts as you pull into the horseshoe driveway surrounded by beautiful mature Florida landscaping. As you enter you are met with a long wall of sliding glass doors leading to the pool and dock. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a coffee bar along with a juicer, and an island with barstools so everyone can sit and chat while beverages are being made or dinner is being created. Very comfy living room chairs and a large sectional are perfect for lounging at the day's end to watch a movie on the big screen TV. All 3 of the bedrooms are made up with tropical decor and a TV in each. The outdoor oasis is where most of your time will be spent if you're not at the nearby Indian Rocks Beach. You will have a beautiful heated pool along with pool toys & floaties, sun loungers, a fire pit, and an outdoor dining area. There are chairs out on the dock to just sit and enjoy being on the water. There are fishing poles in the garage and the dock is set up with a cleaning station!! No need for a rental car while on vacation at this home. An Uber ride will get you there and a golf cart (which is provided upon signing a waiver), or the Suncoast Trolley.
