There is a storage area on the backside of the carport with beach chairs for your convenience. Off the front porch you walk in to an open living/dining room with natural light. There's plenty of space with table seating for 8 people at the dining table and an additional five stools at the kitchen bar. The living room comes with ample seating space and a 65" TV.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with upgraded stainless steel appliances, a gas range and hood, and all the cookware you'll need for your getaway. Down the hallway from the kitchen is the powder room and first floor master bedroom, complete with a king-size bed, full en suite (walk-in shower and bathtub), a 65" TV, and generously-sized closet space.
