Kayaks are under front of house.

There's an outside laundry equipped with outdoor/beach games, toys, paddles, life jackets etc, and an extra toilet and shower, great for washing off the sand before you go into the house!

Large lawn out front for outdoor games, boats and jet skis, off-street parking or just lounging around in the sun.
Fully fenced for children and pets.

And when you just want to relax, we have a couple of bookcases with an assortment of reading matter, including a swap shelf where you can leave your finished book and take one to carry on with.
Our couches are comfy to lie back on and read, snooze, or watch the water. Gorgeous on a cold, rainy day!
Sunny days could see you with a book and nibbles on the sunloungers outside under an umbrella.
Plenty of outdoor cushions.

Pets catered for with outdoor water bowls, and feeding bowls in bottom of pantry. Usually some pet toys!
