Dog-Friendly Waterfront Retreat w/ Huge Deck

Welcome to Dockside Serenity, your peaceful waterfront escape along Palm Coast’s scenic canal system. Designed for guests who want a slower coastal getaway centered around outdoor living, this bright and comfortable home features a huge waterfront deck, private dock access, and included kayaks just minutes from beaches, golf, restaurants, and shopping.

Whether you are enjoying coffee overlooking the canal, kayaking through calm waterways, grilling outside after the beach, or relaxing on the oversized deck while boats drift by, this home was designed for easy vacation days and laid-back waterfront living.

Perfect for couples, small families, snowbirds, remote workers, small-boat travelers, and guests bringing dogs, Dockside Serenity combines open gathering spaces with a peaceful dockside atmosphere that keeps guests coming back to Palm Coast year after year.
