Boat slips are available to rent on a nightly, weekly, or annual basis. Fishing Charters and Pontoon Rentals are also available in case you don’t want to deal with the hassle of bringing your own boat. As a member of the Freedom Boat Club, just give them a call, and the friendly staff will have your boat fueled up, waiting on the water for you to embark on the day’s adventure. Don’t forget to stop by their outfitter shop for ice, cold drinks, or sunscreen, and they carry brands like Yeti and Toadfish.
Shipwreck Raw Bar, less than a mile away on Hwy 98, offers a delightfully laid-back and authentic beachside dining experience. This rustic “hole-in-the-wall” gem serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily from early morning—perfect for post-swim fuel or evening relaxation by the bar. Expect fresh Gulf oysters—raw, steamed, baked—and hearty seafood boils, alongside hot crab dip, shrimp po’‑boys, gumbo, steaks, and breakfast sandwiches. Reviewers praise the friendly, “local roadhouse” vibe and consistently fresh seafood. The atmosphere is relaxed, rustic-chic—complete with palm-adorned walls, cozy tables, full bar, TVs, and even a whimsical pirate ship play area and costume chest for kids. Daily happy hour (5–6 pm) offers specials on beer, wine, and appetizers. Whether you're craving raw oysters at sunset or a savory shrimp po’‑boy after a day on the sand, Shipwreck Raw Bar is an unfussy, family-friendly favorite with great drinks, generous seafood, and true local charm.

Thank you for your review, Keri. Glad the house met your expectations—the large kitchen and living room, comfortable furniture and beds, spacious layout, and ocean views. Happy Pristine was responsive and helpful. We’d love to host you again!Visit Florida Beaches staff
This home was exactly as advertised in the written description as well as the photos. The location was great but a little noisy street side. We didn’t use the outdoor kitchen partly because it was never cleaned and partly because the stairways in the home were a bit of a challenge for my husband (bad knees). Pristine Properties were wonderful to deal with and any response needed came immediately. A shout out to Heather and Jake! I would highly recommend this home. It had everything we needed for a great month.- Reviewed On: 3/9/2026

Thank you for your review, Marice. Glad the home matched the listing and had everything you needed for your month-long stay. I’m sorry about the street noise, the outdoor kitchen not being cleaned, and the stairways being difficult for your husband — we apologize for those issues. We’ll address the outdoor kitchen cleaning and will note the stairs in the listing to help future guests. I’ll pass your shout-out to Heather and Jake. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to hosting you again!Visit Florida Beaches staff
