You can even cast a fishing line from your private dock or seawall. The Islands offers exceptional amenities for both full-time residents and seasonal owners. In 2022, the association completed the installation of attractive standing-seam metal roofs, adding long-term value and peace of mind. Enjoy scenic walking trails throughout the community, relax by the waterfront, or hop on your bike for a short ride to Fort Island Trail Beach on the Gulf. If crystal-clear freshwater is more your style, Hunter Springs Park is just minutes away, where you can swim in refreshing 72-degree spring water year-round. Known as the Gem of Florida's Nature Coast, Crystal River is one of the few places in the world where you can legally swim with manatees. Whether you enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, scalloping, birdwatching, or simply soaking in the beauty of Florida's spring-fed waterways, this is an outdoor paradise unlike any other. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a seasonal retreat, or an investment in one of Florida's most unique waterfront communities, this condo checks all the boxes.
