159 Sand Shoals Road was built by Ray Dumas in 2007.
This is a fantastic aerial view of the home. Hide-A-Way On The Gulf is a wonderful community with many full-time residents as well as vacation homeowners. They even have a new Community Center and an In-Ground Pool for you!
What a marvelous "Hide A Way"! The top of the photo shows a portion of the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge.
Hide-A-Way On The Gulf is an amazing community. Do a quick internet search for the Hide-A-Way On The Gulf POA for more information about this wonderful area.
Plenty of room for parking!
Louvers offer privacy. Texas sized guttering is around the entire home and the wrap-around porch/walkway is awesome.
This expansive Sun Deck gives you enough room for additional outdoor living and dining furniture.
I see a great spot for some sweet tea and a book. Having multiple covered areas is such a plus!
View of the canal off of the Sun Deck. Recently dredge work was done to improve the canals. Search for Commodore Cove Improvement District to give you more information.
Not a bad place to spend your weekends, your vacations, or your retirement!
