Each bedroom is a sanctuary, replete with crisp linens, cozy bedding and thoughtful touches to ensure restful nights.
Outside, your private backyard oasis awaits. Lounge poolside with a refreshing beverage in hand and soak in breathtaking waterfront views from sunrise to sunset at the brand new outdoor bar and kitchen (complete with a beverage cooler, sink and a True Flame grill)!

Why they chose this property
It's a quiet neighborhood that's close to both the beaches and downtown - what's not to love? :-)
What makes this property unique
Just a few of the things that make Joyful Vista special: it's waterfront AND it has a pool; it spacious, with plenty of common areas inside and outside for 8 guests to spread out OR come together; ample driveway parking = huge plus; the wifi is fast, we love pets, and most of all, there's just a wonderful serene "vibe" about the neighborhood and house both, which I know a lot of people look for and would enjoy.
