Imagine a morning that starts with coffee on your screened lanai, watching an osprey perched on a branch while resident herons patrol the quiet pond’s shoreline. This is life at Vista Del Lago, a quiet enclave of just 50 homes where the hardest part of your day is deciding which beach to visit. This is true Florida living! Offered turnkey furnished, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom villa (with 2-car garage) is designed for those who want to spend their time exploring, not maintaining.
