About this property

SAND CASTLE: Big beach house. Walk to Beach. Heated Pool in screened pool house.

Big beach house - Great for a large family group. This beach house is clean, bright, and spacious. There is room for everyone; 8 beds sleeps up to 16 comfortably. 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 2 dining areas.

Heated Pool in screened pool house (no bugs!). Picnic table & luxurious chairs in lanai by the pool. Heated Pool is so comfortable year-round. The pool patio has many comfortable chairs to lounge on. The pool lanai (pool patio) with it's huge 7-burner propane grill and picnic table is a great gathering place for lunch and dinner in the fresh air. The lanai (pool patio area) has ceiling fans and lights for enjoyment by the pool side into the evening. And a pool night light glows at night for great ambiance & night swims.

Location - location - location! 2-minute walk across the street to the beautiful white-sand Satellite Beach. From the balcony you can view the ocean & catch lovely sunrises. A one-minute walk to the neighborhood favorite sports bar restaurant "the Sandbar" with their world-famous fish tacos & two doors down from `The Surfin Turtle' ice cream shop (yum!).

The neighborhood is quiet and clean. Very near the beach and conveniences like grocery, coffee shops, and the movies. You are also a 2 minute drive from a nice, large public park on the beach (Pelican Park). This is a great place for sheltered areas at the beach to have a picnic lunch, outdoor shower, and other amenities.

All bedrooms & living rooms have TVs w/Netflix, Hulu & many other channels. Super-fast WiFi.

Welcome booklet lists things to do, places to visit, and great local restaurants.

Great place for a larger group. Extremely comfortable beds & well stocked kitchens. Nice bar/restaurant right across the street. My only concern with the location, is the huge rocks & boulders in the surf at the beach area, but the home was perfect for us (9 people). The host is very responsive. We had a fantastic time!

Excellent Vacation

The house is exactly what we were looking for, close to the beach and had a great restaurant next door. Beach was very rocky, but we were able to walk down a little and find a spot we could swim. House accommodated our three families only downside was the need to move vehicles as they only wanted two in the driveway, and it was difficult to get bigger vehicles in the small garage.

Great House for family vacation

This house is great for large extended family gatherings. We loved the large table for meals together and the large sectional sofa. We spent so much time in the pool too. The house is close to the beach but the road was a little busy to get the little ones across. The wagon we brought helped with that. The owner was fantastic with correspondence and very accommodating! We had a wonderful week together!

Why they chose this property

I have lived in, maintained and cared for this property for more than two decades. It is a comfortable, spacious, well-maintained property close to the beach: walk in the sand and surf, view pelicans flying by, and enjoy the great local restaurant "The Sandbar" (with the world's best fish tacos) that is at the end of the street!

What makes this property unique

An on-site heated pool in a screened pool house is available 24/7. Comfortable lanai with picnic table and sofa to eat/relax in the fresh air. You have free high speed WiFi throughout the house and the pool area. There is free laundry on-site and four parking spaces in the driveway/garage. The city does not allow RV parking.
There are TV's in all bedrooms with Netflix, Hulu, other channels.
The second floor of the house gives you nice ocean views and is surrounded by windows making it sunny and bright. There are sliding doors on three sides allowing for the ocean breeze to come through softly and enjoyably. There is a dining area on both floors. The one on the second floor allows views of the ocean in the near distance. The sunrises, visible from the kitchen, dining area and master bedroom can be glorious!
Several grocery stores are just a 3 to 5 minute drive away as is Pelican Beach park with extensive picnic facilities.
The setting is peaceful and comfortable. Stay here for a fantastic experience: relaxing and fun.
Sincerely, Richard
