Gather, laugh, and bond in our inviting family area, with ample seating, games, books and puzzles for all age groups. Large smart TVs in every bedroom (cable channels provided), including the bunk, and the living room, ensure entertainment is never more than a click away.
Three bathrooms offer private en suite access to the attached bedrooms. The fourth is conveniently accessible, serving both the bunk room and the living areas. All feature luxury weight bath towels and plentiful amenities for a comfortable stay.
The dining room, with a large table, invites guests to come together for casual meals or fine dining. Adjacent to it, the fully equipped kitchen features a center island and added counter seating overlooking the pool.
The full-size side-by-side washer and dryer in the hallway ensure you won't have to worry about packing too many clothes or finding a laundromat.
Outdoors:
Step out onto a spacious fully fenced-in deck and front porch. West facing view offer beautiful sunsets over the pool and provide an oasis of relaxation. This is a place where the calming waters of a saltwater spa and a luxurious pool beckon, offering both invigoration and warmth, as they can be heated to your comfort on cooler days or nights.
An array of seating options invites you to recline, chat, or simply soak in the tranquility. Our outdoor dining table stands ready for alfresco feasts, complemented by the savory aromas from the BBQ grill. You'll never be bored with our selection of outdoor games like Giant Jenga and corn hole. Our storage cabinet is fully stocked for a perfect day at the beach with chairs, a beach wagon, an umbrella, toys, and boogie boards.
At the rear, the residence boasts two levels of screened-in balconies, each providing an elevated view of the untamed beauty of nature's backyard as you hear the gentle music of wildlife.
Key Inclusions:
We take pride in providing nothing but the best for our guests, and that starts with our premium bedding. Our bathrooms do not skimp on the essentials - we've stocked full-size dispensers of shampoo, conditioner and bath gel. We've also thought of the little things that can make a big difference, like luggage racks in every bedroom, a generous supply of make-up wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, liquid dish soap, and trash bags. We know that convenience is key, which is why we've also included quality coffee packets and condiments. We want you to feel taken care of so you can lessen your trips to the store and focus on creating lasting memories in our home.
