Our house has the best of both worlds - proximity to the beach, and proximity to the marina.
The Beach: The beach is only a short walk away - with the main beach access being on the same street the house is on (41st Ave). And the beach is why you came, right?!
The Marina: You are only 100 yards away from the marina - featuring a public boat ramp, a playground for little ones, a wonderful (brand new) restaurant, and one of the best shops on the island to pick up your official "IOP" T-Shirt, hat, keychain, along with just about everything else (expected and unexpected).
Furnishings and decor:
The house has been well maintained, and updated - with comfortable furniture, beautiful, tasteful decor, and everything you'd need for your stay on the island.
Screened in Porch:
We have a beautiful screened-in porch that's big enough for multiple families to stay, eat, drink, and laugh about Susie's awkward sunburn she got. :-)
Ping Pong and foosball:
Sometimes the weather disagrees with your plans. Sometimes the weather agrees with your plans, but the kids do not. When either situation (or others) present themselves, enjoy a game of ping pong in the garage, or foosball in the living room.
Huge, enclosed backyard:
We have a huge, enclosed backyard to let the kids and adults burn off whatever energy is left after 8 hours at the beach, and the "winner take all" ping pong tourney.
Outdoor Shower:
Take full advantage of a heated, ourdoor shower!
Or, perhaps a cooling shower because you fell asleep on the beach.
Regardless, there's something 'je ne sais quois' about taking a shower outside! :-)
Solo Stove Firepit:
Who wonders why the smoke always follows you wherever you move around the firepit? It's because smoke is a sentient being (you remember the smoke monster from Lost, don't you? :-).
That's why we decided to invest in a Solo Stove. Its design leads to an almost smoke-less fire. Which makes s'more roasting even better!
And this is just the start!
