A waterfront property on Ono Island with private dock and deep-water access for larger vessels.

Recently, a client asked me to review a property on Ono Island. As I studied the details, I was impressed by its boating features, storage solutions, and construction quality, all of which make it a compelling option for anyone seeking true waterfront living on the Gulf Coast.


Boating and Dock Features

This home’s greatest strength is in its boating setup. With a private dock offering a deep-water draft exceeding seven feet, it accommodates larger vessels that are often difficult to house on the island. The dock includes a spacious wet slip, shaded storage area, and convenient electrical and water hookups for easy maintenance and preparation.

The dock was recently rebuilt with flow-through decking and stainless fasteners, designed for durability in a coastal environment. An enclosed seawall and underwater structures also create a thriving marine habitat, making dolphin sightings and fish activity common right off the dock. For many buyers, this combination of functionality and natural beauty is a rare find.


Storage and Utility

Beyond the boating access, thoughtful storage features stand out. From dockside storage for gear to built-in organizational systems inside, the property makes it easy to manage the boating lifestyle. For those who value convenience when preparing for a day on the water, this kind of design detail is a major advantage.


Construction and Insulation

The home is also supported by strong infrastructure, including multiple newer HVAC units, updated water heaters, and open-cell insulation. The insulation is especially important in a waterfront property, as it provides both energy efficiency and a more comfortable interior environment. It also helps with sound control—something many buyers appreciate when investing in a larger home on the coast.

Lifestyle and Opportunity

Properties on the west end of Ono Island with this kind of deep-water access and updated dock system are rare. When they do become available, they often draw significant interest from serious boaters and buyers who value both privacy and function.

As I told my client, this opportunity blends luxury, boating practicality, and long-term durability. For the right buyer, it represents more than just a home—it’s a base for experiencing everything that makes Ono Island one of the Gulf Coast’s premier boating communities.
