WOW! What a beautiful waterfront view of the Bayou and the boat docks from your living room sliders! You'll be captivated by
watching the white pelicans arriving from up north every winter plus seeing the permanent year round residents of pods of manatees who love the warm Bayou & canal waters & the bottlenose dolphins who visit daily in pursuit of the schools of fish that make Bishop's Bayou their home. All these wonderful sights will be yours in this Bay side Whitney Beach spacious (almost 1,000sf) one bedroom one bath vacation condo home.
