Jump right into the fun with many amenities included with the house rental: paddle boards, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, wagon, baby gear, pool toys, games and bicycles. The best part? All of these conveniences are located 1 lot from the beach, that's about 170 feet or 50 meters from the Gulf of Mexico!
Your vacation begins as soon as you enter the ground level foyer with an open concept kitchen/dining/living room beyond. Glass french doors provide a glimpse of shimmering blue waters, which immediately draw you to the backyard pool and surrounding oasis of fun! Privacy fencing surrounds the backyard which includes lounge seating, outdoor table, putting greens, corn hole toss, and a bocce ball court. When you are ready to head inside, you will find two large king suites, laundry room and a 1 car garage located on the ground level. The poolside king suite has a walk in closet, private en-suite bathroom with a tile shower, TV and door to the pool area.

The main living room has a deep, comfy couch with additional chairs and serves as a great place to chat, play games or watch tv. The dining room has seating for 14 with a large table and bar stools at the kitchen counters. The chef in the family will feel right at home in the large, open kitchen, which is stocked with cookware, plenty of dishes and utensils, a traditional coffee maker and a single cup Keurig coffee maker.
