With a sparkling community pool and miles of shell-laden shoreline just steps away, this is island living at its most peaceful and picturesque. This two-story townhouse offers direct Gulf views, and a layout made for relaxed coastal living. The main level features two guest bedrooms, each with its own bath, a beautifully updated kitchen with crisp white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, and an open dining and living space that flows effortlessly onto a screened-in porch with panoramic views of the water. A laundry area and half bath complete the main floor. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true sanctuary. Wake up to breathtaking Gulf views from your bed, enjoy a morning coffee on the private screened balcony, or soak up the sun on your open-air deck—perfect for lounging and taking in the beauty of the island. The suite also features a spa-inspired bath, walk-in closet, and a cozy loft space ideal for reading, working, or overflow guests. Whether you're beachcombing for shells, taking a dip in the pool, or simply soaking in the views, life at Tigua Cay offers the perfect blend of luxury and laid-back island charm.
