A sizable rear patio, complete with a dining table for six, four comfortable outdoor club chairs, two umbrellas with solar lights, and gas grill, overlooks an expansive fenced, rear yard with mature shade trees and palms. Double doors in the den and second king bedroom lead to the backyard and patio and provide tranquil garden views by day and night.

Two luggage stands (or a bench) are provided for guests use in each bedroom and there is plenty of space under the beds to stow luggage and get it out of the way. Two options for a work area are available to accommodate guests who will be working at home during their stay. The largest bedroom at 14’ x 20’ has two double beds, and is furnished with a 42” round table that can serve as a desk or a table for breakfast in the room or games. The second optional work area is in the den which has both a desk and another 42” round table. All three bedrooms also include a full length mirror, a chair, plenty of dimmable lighting, and windows on at least two sides with lovely garden or pool views.

Beach chairs and chaises, umbrellas, beach cart, portable cooler, and inflatable floats are all provided. The two beach chaises can also be used for additional lounging when needed at the pool.
RE: CHILDREN….. The heated pool is located in a screen enclosure adjacent to the home on the north side and is accessed from inside by double french doors. The proximity of the pool edge to the double doors from the living area of the home makes the home unsuitable for guests with very young children or children who do not swim. Please inquire if this is a concern, as each situation is unique. Owner prefers to err on the side of caution, but willing to consider requests for exceptions. VRBO categorizes children as infants, or 2-12 and leaves the owner no flexibility in selecting an age range for suitability.
ACCESSIBILITY WARNING……….There is also a single step down from the dining area to the den (which was formerly a lanai that is now enclosed and paneled with shiplap siding) at the back of the house. Owner has installed small white tiles into the wood plank tile flooring at the step to alert guests to the need for caution. Anyone with limited mobility or other challenges that make negotiating a single step down should consider other properties to rent. Other than this step, the home is all on one level.
