About this property

Admiral's View Waterfront Home

The Admiral's View, is a one of a kind, Key West style home on Little Hickory Bay, just a few minute walk to Bonita and Barefoot beaches. With expansive water views from every room and private entrance and outdoor space, the Admirals View provides the perfect safe setting for your vacation. Surrounded by water on 3 sides, enjoy spectacular sunrises from one lanai and sunsets from the other. This 2 bedroom 2.5 bath home sleeps 4. The vaulted great room, balcony, dining room and kitchen have an open concept design for easy conversations and enjoyment. The warm comfortable interior decoration (recently redone) compliment the natural beauty surrounding this special location setting the scene for many memorable and simply wonder-FULL moments. The master suite offers a relaxing private oasis, overlooking mangrove rookery, home to wonderful dolphins, Brown Pelicans, Ospreys, Kingfishers and more. A spacious en-suite bath with custom closet, designer bowl sink, granite countertop, cedar ceiling and jetted tub and private lanai complete this luxurious retreat. Family and friends will be delighted to rise to gorgeous sunrise and water view from the fun beach themed guest room. The private en-suite bath, dressing room and spacious accommodations make for a comfortable and pampered visit. The loft offers office space and a second living room area while the outdoor patio offer additional space for enjoyment and guests. Enjoy grilling and dining outside, on the brick paved patio while watching dolphins, manatees and flying fish play year round, just off shore. Enjoy fishing from the dock just off the brick paver patio and dock your boat at one of the free boat docks. The ladders available on the boat dock make launching paddleboard or kayaks simple. The Admirals View is steps from the beach and close to SW Florida Regional Airport. Also nearby are The Promenade, Mercato and Coconut Point Mall for outstanding shopping, dining and entertainment. Surrounded by beaches, marinas, islands and restaurants, the Admiral's view is centrally located for coastal fun. Farmer's markets, classic car shows, art fairs, sand sculpting competitions and much more ensure many happy and full days for your visit. In a world where clean and safe is so important you can be comfortable knowing you have all private spaces, from your entry to your patio. Additionally this home has only been rented to 3 other couples previously. You will not find many review of this home because it has only been rented to 4 couples since it was redone. Most of them have loved it so much they have returned. Additionally, since the association requires a 30 day minimum stay, most who rent do so for a good portion of a season. It is not the normal rental, it is our home that we share with a few people and it is decorated and filled with amenities of a personal home not of a rental.

The price in the advertisement does not comply with California law for statement of costs. Addtional fees are $250 cleaning fee, and the required 11% local tax for short term rentals. As it is too difficult and time consuming to add the 11% as a $ instead of a % for each date, we are electing not to offer our home to California residents. Thank you for your understanding.

Beautiful Home-Perfect Location

Our stay at Admirals View was absolutely perfect. We certainly had all the comforts of home with a view to die for on the lanai. Beautiful setting on the intercoastal waters with a perfect sunset view every night. Could not have been more pleased with our stay..It is truly a great vacation home.

The view

The view off the porch was wonderful. Dolphins, manatees, and pelicans were are new neighbors. Very close to state park beach, Lover’s Key which was wonderful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Kiesel

Host profile image
My husband and I are from Michigan. It was always our dream to own a home in Florida to escape the cold winters. We looked all over the state before purchasing this home. My husbands company was talking about transferring him to Germany and we had a vacation planned for Thanksgiving in Florida. Each time we would visit we would schedule with the real estate agent. As we were traveling from Michigan, we agreed we would not buy anything this time because if we were transferred it would not make sense. Then we stepped into the Admiral's View. We fell in love with it immediately!!! We agreed if we did not buy it we would spend the next 10 years looking for something even close. The property had been on the market one day and we got into a bidding war to win the property. I tell you this only to give you an indication of how nice and unique it is. A week after we made the offer, we got transferred to Germany. We took possession the end of Dec. and transferred to Germany in Jan. This is how we decided to rent it for a few months of the year because it is was an impossible weekend trip from Frankfurt to Naples. We did not rent it at all the first year, the second year we rented it only a few weeks. The next 2 years while we were out of the country, the same people (who also fell in love with it) rented for a brief seasonal time. They would probably still rent if they had not bought a bigger house to accomodate visit from their grandchildren. This home is not a normal rental. It is really our second home that we share with others a few weeks of the year. To this day, every time we are in the house, my husband still says "it is so beautiful here, I can't believe this is our house" and I call it my "happy place".

Why they chose this property

We love the water views and this home has those views from every room. We see the sunrise on one side and the sunset on the other, both over the water. We watch the dolphins, manatees and birds play in between. the home is situated on the very end of a small peninsula making it the perfect setting. With windows in every room and a sky light in the living room the home is filled with light. It is a 10 minute walk to the beach and only a few minute walk to several different restaurants. It is centrally located to many activities from shopping to boat rentals. We wanted the privacy of our own outdoor space and we have the patio, 2 lanais and roof top deck. Additionally, it is easy to do water sports right off the dock and if you have a boat, we have a dock. It really does not get any better than this!!!

What makes this property unique

So peaceful. We love the windows, sunsets and wild life. We looked at properties all over the state before buying this home. Many of the condos are what I call "bowling alleys". There is a window at one end, they are narrow and dark, and there is a window at the other end. I hate that. Not in this home, there is a window in every room and each has a fabulous view. The location is perfect close to everything. The master bath has a jacuzzi tub and the guest bedroom has an en suite. The roof top deck has the most incredible views of both sunrise and sunset. I love to sit in the loft and read a book or open the door to the roof top deck when I am working. The outdoor hot shower is a nice treat too, especially after visiting the beach. This home is so unique, from the architecture to decorating, there is nothing like it.
