About this property

Aquarium House by Zen Living

After a year searching the perfect family staycation & remote working place , we found this amazing beach house 1 block away from the beach,1 minute to SeaWall.
You and your family can relax in this "Aquarium House" with ocean view from the deck bar, and work remotely on a working desk facing the ocean. We decorated the house in aquarium theme, painted a mural on the ceiling of the entrance porch. We named the four rooms: Fish, Crab, Hippo & Turtle rooms.
Pets are welcomed! Pet fees apply.

Fantastic location!
You are a few minutes walk from the Pleasure Pier and the beach. From the amazing balcony you can even see a view of the water. One of the best locations I have stayed in on the island. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean and tidy. I will definitely stay here again!
