Designed for luxury, relaxation, and adventure, this breathtaking retreat invites you to wake up to the soothing sound of waves, unwind on sprawling decks with panoramic views, and indulge in resort-style amenities that make every moment unforgettable.

Just steps from the public beach access, your days can begin with a peaceful sunrise stroll along the shore or a refreshing dip in the ocean. On the other side of the home, the private dock extends over the tranquil waterway, offering a gateway to boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and world-class fishing.

Ascending to the first floor, you’ll find a beautifully designed sleeping level. The master suite is a private sanctuary, featuring a king bed, spa-inspired en-suite bathroom. Another elegantly appointed king bedroom shares a stylish full bathroom with the bunk room, a fun and functional space boasting two twin-over-full bunk beds to comfortably accommodate kids or groups.

Step outside to the open-air patio, where a winding staircase leads gracefully to the pool deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

The second floor is the heart of the home, where natural light floods the expansive open-concept living area, coastal-chic décor, and plush furnishings. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with high-end appliances, sleek countertops, and a spacious dining table perfect for elegant meals or casual gatherings.

Great beach and fun dock

They're were some minor inconveniences with a bathroom door and outlets not in working order. The pool is very tiny and cold, wasn't able to be heated as advertised. Lots of weeds surrounding so we didn't enjoy that part of the property this vacation but did enjoy fishing off the dock and the short walk to the beaches and playground for some basketball and ice cream. Great views!

The BEST OF BOTH WORLDS (beach & sound)! This house is in a perfect location. It’s in a very quiet and peaceful location. My husband and I stayed here with five teenagers for spring break and there was plenty of space downstairs for the teens while my husband and I stayed upstairs. The house is fully equipped with everything that you will need. The dark was a huge hit for the guys to fish off the pier. And the beach access is directly across the street.The cargo elevator outside was perfect so he would not have to carry all of the luggage and groceries up multiple flights of stairs. We can’t wait to go back!
