Vida sits on a quiet residential street in Vilano Beach, three minutes on foot from the sand. The private fenced pool catches the morning sun off the kitchen and living room, and the converted-garage tiki lounge - mural, bar with stools, outdoor sofas on turf, a big smart TV, beverage fridge, darts and cornhole - opens straight onto the pool deck. The beach walkover is across Coastal Highway and the Intracoastal boat ramp is a few blocks away.
