You'll enjoy all the comforts of home while on your beach vacation! This home is beautifully decorated and features a well-stocked kitchen. Enjoy your meals at the breakfast bar, dining table, or outside on the picnic table. The living area is large with comfortable furnishings. The home has WIFI for convenience! The large bedrooms give your family plenty of room to spread out. The primary bedroom has a king bed and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower. Bedroom two has a single bed, a full-size bed, and an attached bathroom. The remaining bedrooms each have 2 full-size beds. The expansive deck has ample seating for you and your family.

When you're ready for a trip to the beach, it's just a short walk, golf cart, or vehicle ride away. There is direct beach access at the end of the road. Rinse off in the outdoor shower upon returning from the beach! You are sure to enjoy your vacation at Sum Beach!
