The Space:
Salt air and soft light set the pace as you step into a home designed for unhurried beach days and easy time together. Mornings move gently from balcony coffee to walks toward the shoreline, while evenings settle into poolside conversations or a quiet soak in the hot tub. With space to spread out and gather in equal measure, the rhythm here stays relaxed from start to finish.
The space
Set just seven homes from the sand, this three-level home spans more than 5,000 square feet and is arranged to comfortably host large groups. Private beach access means you can reach the shoreline without crossing any roads, keeping beach days simple and stress-free. The layout supports both shared moments and personal downtime, making it well suited for extended families or friends traveling together.
Sleeping arrangements
The home sleeps up to 24 guests across eight bedrooms and three floors. Six king bedrooms are arranged as private suites, each with its own ensuite bathroom. Two bunk rooms provide additional sleeping space, including one bunk suite with queen bunks and a separate queen bed. Bedrooms are distributed throughout the home to balance privacy with convenient access to common areas.
Living areas
Multiple living spaces give everyone room to settle in. Open gathering areas feature comfortable seating and TVs for casual downtime or movie nights. On the third floor, a dedicated game room offers a pool table, seating, and a TV, with access to a covered balcony that brings in Gulf breezes and a glimpse of the water.
Kitchen and dining
Two kitchens make group meals easy, whether you’re cooking together or dividing prep between floors. Each kitchen is set up for everyday cooking and casual dining, while an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ grill extends meals into the backyard. Dining areas nearby allow everyone to gather without crowding.
Outdoor living
The backyard centers around a pool and hot tub, creating a laid-back setting for afternoons outside or evenings under the stars. Pool heat is seasonal and available by request from October through May. Multiple balconies, a patio, and outdoor seating areas offer space to enjoy the coastal air throughout the day.
