About this property
Good Life - Easy Beach Access, Gulf Views, Hot Tub!
Summary:
Enjoy The Good Life when staying in this ship-inspired beauty located just steps away from the sand and surf! Whether choosing to lounge under the daytime rays on the sundeck or grill and chill at sunset in the hot tub with cocktail in hand, this beach house will be sure to deliver that quintessential island getaway experience!
The Space:
Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, this stunning home sleeps up to 13 people in comfort and style (max 10 adults please). The recently remodeled kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and gorgeous granite countertops. The main living area is set for relaxation and nicely accommodates family and/or group time together at the coast.
On the ground level, you will find a storage closet complete with beach chairs and sand toys for a day at the beach, outdoor shower, plus a washer and dryer. Life is good!
FUN FACT: This unique custom home was originally designed by a pair of oceanographers who wanted the house to reflect the shape of a mollusk. The mollusk shape can be seen throughout with the many spirals and clever layout of spaces.

HOSTED BY THE 979 CREW ADVANTAGE:
The 979 Crew is comprised of island locals who are passionate about making sure the home you chose is nothing short of clean, comfortable, and ready for your group's fun! Every home is fully and professionally cleaned after each guest stay. In addition, all of our homes feature luxury hotel-quality/high thread count on all sheets, bedding, and bath towels which are replaced upon every turnover including the duvet covers and shams (we've heard not every company does this, and we think that's just gross). We take clean seriously! When you rent a 979 home, you'll also receive the 'comforts of home' guest welcome starter supply of shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, tp and paper towels, dishwasher and clothes washer pods. We want your stay to be as easy as you do, and the 979 Crew aims to deliver on that commitment. We love our island guests!
