While the house is lovely and very comfortable, the most impressive feature of Almost Heaven on the Beach is the front yard: white sand and the Gulf of Mexico.

The sound of waves lapping upon the shore, the smell of the salt air, the view of playful dolphins, docile herons, and graceful storks and seagulls make this vacation spot special. Some like to boogie board and swim in the gulf, and others enjoy stretching out on the sand or even on the expansive front deck. Whether your pleasure is an early morning walk along the seashore or riding the waves on your board, the beach is what you will remember fondly.
