THE SPACE
Walking through the front door to start your vacation experience, you’ll immediately appreciate the warmth and elegance greeting you and your family or guests. Vaulted ceilings, beautifully lit spaces and gorgeous wood floors draw you in and complement the richly decorated surroundings everywhere you look, given the Great Room’s open floor plan design. (Even the window views of the woods outside are amazing!) There’s ample couch space and comfy chairs for sitting in front of the fireplace to enjoy socializing or watching a show on the big-screen TV. Or stroll a few paces and grab a stool at the stone-top kitchen island for a glass of wine and a cheese platter. The kitchen is not only equipped with stainless-steel appliances, but also includes all the utensils you need to cook up your favorite meals. (Plus, we’ve stocked the pantry with goodies to accentuate whatever you prepare.) The communal dining table, made of finely finished reclaimed wood, seats up to 14 people.
And speaking of social gathering spaces, there’s an extra-large screened-in back porch looking out onto the pool area, tall trees and a nicely landscaped backyard, giving you plenty of space to stretch out and savor your every vacation moment! Plus, there’s a downstairs TV room with super-comfy couches, where you can enjoy some “me” time whenever you need it.
All 4 bedrooms are nicely appointed and highlighted by “like-sleeping-on-a-cloud” mattresses and super-plush comforters, making a peaceful night’s sleep easy-as-can-be. Each bedroom also has ample closet/dresser space to store your belongings during your stay.

And along the hall near the foyer is an additional half-bath. Downstairs bedrooms 3 and 4 share the third full bath, which includes a tub and double-vanity, and you’ll also find a complete laundry room with high-quality washer and dryer on this floor.
Off the kitchen, there’s a nice-sized wooden deck with an outdoor dining set, plus a bistro table with two chairs for the times you want to grab a bite to eat outside. And if you want to barbecue, the high-end Weber grill will come in handy! The heated pool is dreamy, and after a swim you can relax in one of several chaise lounges or head over to the gazebo with a fire pit and Adirondack chairs alongside the pool, where in the evening you and the gang can watch the stars and sip a cup of hot cocoa!
You won’t have to look far for “things to do” in the area, since After Dune Delight is centrally located for you to eat, drink and be merry in all sorts of local high-quality spots.
