Tucked behind a sunny yellow door and framed by palm trees and soft lawns, Blue Retreat feels every bit as playful and welcoming as its name suggests. Just fifteen minutes from the beach yet offering total privacy, this colourful single-storey home is made for laid-back days and coastal comfort. With its charming blue façade and tropical mural overlooking the pool, there’s a sense of fun and relaxation built into every corner.

Inside, the home opens into an airy, open-plan living space where cool tiled floors and pastel walls reflect the easy pace of Florida life. The living room is cosy and casual, with a soft leather sectional perfect for lounging after a day at the beach. Ceiling fans turn lazily overhead, and sliding doors open directly onto the pool terrace, bringing the outside in.

The kitchen is fresh and practical, with granite counters, bar seating and everything you need to cook and dine at home. The dining table sits just to the side, ready for lazy brunches or dinners with the doors wide open. Each of the three bedrooms has its own distinctive charm, from coastal artwork to soft linens, making it feel homely but thoughtfully put together. Two bathrooms offer convenience and comfort, ideal for families or friends sharing space.

Step outside and the true spirit of the property reveals itself. A private pool glimmers in the Florida sun, complete with a safety fence and a bubbling hot tub for cooler evenings. There’s ample space for lounging or dining under the shade of a bright blue parasol, while lush palms line the fully fenced garden, offering privacy and a safe space for children or dogs to roam.

With garage access, generous parking, and thoughtful touches throughout, Blue Retreat is a joyful, unfussy base from which to enjoy Florida’s best, from the thrill of water sports to the slow delight of a poolside siesta.

• The pool is unfenced on the patio side, though it does include a safety barrier around the water
• The property is not directly on the beach, but it’s an easy 15-minute drive
• While it sleeps 6 comfortably, living space is best suited to one family or close-knit group
