As you enter through the front door, you are welcomed by a view of the living room which opens to the kitchen and dining area. The living room has a sectional couch, flat-screen TV, and access to the pool and deck. The open kitchen offers ample counter space, Thermador stainless steel appliances, and a large island with bar seating for up to 6. The adjacent dining area has an easily expandable dining table with seating for 10 people.
The downstairs primary suite offers a king-sized bed, access to the deck and pool, and a luxurious private bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, you will find three additional bedrooms. The upstairs secondary suite has a king-sized bed and spacious bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower.

The third upstairs bedroom has a full-over-full bunk bed and a private bathroom with a shower/tub combo.

The screened porch, which can be entered through the dining area, has comfortable sofas and a flat-screen TV. Off the screened porch, you will find a full bathroom to freshen up after the pool or beach. The outdoor back deck has a dining table and chairs along with poolside lounge seating. At the garage level, you will find a game room with a ping pong table. Just outside the garage, there is an outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off after a long day at the beach.

Please note that this property has exterior security cameras that view the home's front entrance as well as the pool equipment under the back deck. The cameras serve to protect both the property owner and rental guests.
The dimensions of the pool are approximately 10 x 20. The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.
