This gorgeous retreat offers a great outdoor space to unwind and create everlasting memories with your loved ones. Spend entertaining evenings on the deck planning your next adventures or enjoying a savory meal alfresco. Host summertime cookouts using the provided gas grill, or challenge your friends to a badminton match. The firepit is a great spot to gather as the sun sets, and there is a large hammock in case you need some time on your own to read your favorite novel or simply rest.
Inside, this welcoming and charming home away from home enjoys an open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows and exposed wood beams. Curl up on the living room's cozy sofa and stream your favorite series and movies on the smart TV. The kitchen has been equipped with all the essentials, including a Keurig coffee maker, to prepare exquisite homemade meals. There are two bedrooms on the main floor and a sleeping nook on the lofted area upstairs. Additional perks include one stand-up paddleboard, one kayak, beach gear, board games, blankets, umbrellas, life jackets, and coolers.
Please note that this property does not have A/C.
