About this home

Coastal style meets curated sophistication in this completely reimagined 1BD/2BA corner condo, tucked in the sought-after southern enclave of South Seas Resort. Flooded with natural light thanks to its corner location and additional side windows, this fully renovated villa blends elegance, functionality, and breathtaking bay views into one seamless island retreat. Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The kitchen is a statement piece with custom shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a wood plank-style backsplash—all anchored by a quartz-topped island perfect for entertaining. LVP flooring, plantation shutters, and impact-rated windows and doors offer both durability and charm. Pocketing sliders open the living space to a screened lanai overlooking the bay, where you can sip your morning coffee alongside sunrises, sailboats, dolphins, and manatees. Designer “fandeliers” and premium millwork elevate the coastal cottage aesthetic. The primary bath features a 5-panel glazed barn door, dual sinks, quartz vanity, and 12x24 tiled walls, while the guest bath mirrors these spa-like finishes with custom cabinetry and stone tile backsplash. Illuminated mirrors and refined hardware complete the look. This furnished residence comfortably sleeps four and participates in a rental program, offering exceptional income potential. Community features include a bayside pool, spa, under-building parking, and a private ground-level storage locker. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape, strong ROI, or both—5144 Bayside Villas delivers on every level.
