The custom electronic gates form an impressive entrance as residents and guests arrive at Sea Lilly and meander along a cobblestone driveway, through incredibly manicured and verdant grounds to the motor court and circular driveway with a jetted fountain and a 20' tall bronze marlin statue as the centerpiece. The expansive lawn gracing the waterfront is helicopter-accessible and ideal for outdoor events.

Each of the residences has stained cedar siding, cedar shake roofs, copper gutters and commercial grade windows.
