Designed as the ultimate coastal retreat, this property blends a tropical feel with modern updates—perfect for a weekend getaway, full-time living, or as a high-earning short-term rental investment.
Step inside the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area, where oversized sliding glass doors—four 3-ft panels—frame canal water views and backyard palm trees. Talk about inviting the outdoors inside! The kitchen shines with new teal cabinets, a bilevel granite island, and new stainless-steel appliances, ideal for entertaining after a day on the water. Freshly painted inside and out, with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, the home feels brand new.
The 410-sq-ft screened porch offers shady afternoons overlooking the canal, while the fenced yard with automatic gate ensures both privacy and security. Bring all your toys—this property boasts an expansive driveway for cars, trucks, boats, and RVs, plus an attached garage with workshop and a 404-sq-ft carport.
On the water side, an extensive bulkhead, boat lift, and constant visits from coastal birds make every day feel like a nature escape. This home was designed for coolness, with the sun rising over the canal and setting at the front of the house—keeping summer afternoons comfortable. In spring and fall, the southeasterly breezes flow naturally through the home.
Located in the sought-after Flour Bluff ISD, this property is more than just a house, it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re dreaming of mornings spent fishing, afternoons in the shade, or nights welcoming guests to your own tropical getaway, this canal-front home makes it possible. Affordable waterfront home within minutes to the Gulf of Mexico beaches and everything Corpus Christi has to offer.
