The open layout allows for easy flow between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces.



The upper level includes five additional bedrooms and a secondary living area. Sleeping arrangements include two king bedrooms, one queen bedroom, one bedroom with two twin beds, and one bedroom with two sets of twin bunk beds. A living area upstairs provides additional seating and includes a queen sleeper sofa.

Great house with private pool for my family of 14!

From check in to check out we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet community with beautiful beach. Logan and Michelle were available and responsive to questions. Short walk to the beach via the community boardwalk. Plenty of space for everyone! Loved it!

Great house for larger groups.

The property is great for larger groups offering a variety of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone. The location is private with easy access to the beach. The property is located a way from a lot of the attractions and golf courses, and I would highly recommend renting a vehicle. Uber and Lyft are not a reliable means of transportation. The pool is wonderful and the living room/kitchen offers a comfortable way to enjoy everyone's company. Overall an excellent property!

Tile floors were not very clean. They had been vacuumed, but not likely wet mopped Debris accumulated in pool during the week and skimming net was broken. Park-type picnic area grill is not ideal
