Close to Beach~Free Golf Cart! Pet Friendly Home! Destiny West
Welcome to Seashells Cottage!
This beautiful luxury home, in the exclusive Destiny West neighborhood, features 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ bathrooms, a beautifully updated kitchen, screened porch and a fenced yard for your dog. You’ll even have a complimentary 6-PASSENGER GOLF CART to use during your stay! Public beach access at James Lee Park is just ⅓ mile away! You can also enjoy the Destiny West amenities including a large pool, tennis courts and exercise room - just a ½ block from this home. It’s perfect for families or up to 3-4 couples. Max occupancy is 10 guests but the house technically has sleeping for 12 so you can easily spread out.
You’ll enjoy a memorable vacation in this beautiful home. There’s plenty of seating for everyone in the inviting living space with an extra large TV. This space features 2 queen sleeper sofas , a loveseat, a recliner and another chair. It’s a great place to hang out together and watch movies or a game, or just enjoy the fireplace on a cool evening.
There’s plenty of space to linger over your favorite vacation meals here too. The dining area features a custom wood dining table with comfortable seating for 6-7, and there’s room for 3 more at the kitchen bar.
The beautiful open kitchen features granite countertops, lots of storage and stainless steel appliances, including a gas stove. It’s a great layout for multiple cooks - with an extra counter and a pass-through window to the screened porch! And you’ll find it well-equipped with plenty of dishes, flatware, cookware, toaster, blender, drip coffee maker, and everything you’ll need to enjoy cooking and dining while you experience life at the beach!
