Guests will feel instantly welcomed by the tranquil, beach inspired décor of this lovely home. The 1st floor great room features a large flat screen TV above the gas fireplace and comfortable seating for gathering. Also located on the first floor, is a beautifully appointed modern kitchen with new stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher. A large dining table provides seating for 8 with additional seating for 3 at the raised kitchen countertop. The kitchen opens out onto the great room. Off the great room you will find walk out sliding glass doors to a sunny & bright, three-seasons room (a perfect location to read and enjoy a morning cup of coffee). There is additional dining space for four in this room.
The King Master BR features a flat screen TV and an ensuite bath with double vanity, large jetted tub and a double walk-in shower. 2 Queen BR's w/flat screen TV's sharing a full bathroom are also located on the first floor.

There is another large BR on this level with 4 twin beds (one is a trundle). There is also a full bathroom with a large soaking tub/shower off the upstairs living area.
In the evening, guests can enjoy a glass of wine in the large 7-8-person hot-tub while surrounded by nature in the large wooded lot. Guests may also enjoy relaxing or dining on the deck while enjoying the scenic surroundings. It’s not unusual to spot a blue jay, cardinal or deer grazing in the woods. There is also an outdoor hot/cold shower to rinse the sand off after a day at the beach. There is gas grill on the deck for your convenience and you can also roast marshmallows as you sit around the brick fire pit enjoying a warm fire on a cool night .
We have tried to provide all the conveniences of home such as towels, linens, a small library of books, board games, beach toys, etc. We want to make sure your visit is pleasant and worry free.
