Lakeside Calm

With the lake just steps away and panoramic views all around, this home is as picturesque as it looks. You'll find it in a small gated community, just a short walk from the beach. There's access to a communal pool, along with nearby docks when you're in the mood to hit the water. Back home, you can make the most of the setting from the many balconies – each one is just as comfortable as the last. The outdoor lounge is a nice touch, too. With ping pong, a TV screen, and an outdoor sofa, it has kids' hangout written all over it. We think this is an easy choice for anyone craving a slower-paced coastal escape.
