THE TOUR:

First Floor -

The house is more than 1500 square feet. As you enter the home, you will see luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the first floor. The first room is the living room, with seating, built-in bookshelves, and a gas fireplace. This is a great quiet place to curl up with a book from our small book collection in the central A/C when you want some alone time, while everyone else heads to the beach.

The back of the house hosts a warm and updated kitchen. There is an island with three bar stools for a quick meal and just about everything needed is included. There is a stacked full size washer/dryer and plenty of storage in the pantry. Electric glass top stove, dishwasher, standard oven/convection oven, microwave, refrigerator with ice maker, and small appliances such as coffee maker and toaster.

Through the kitchen, you will enter the three-season room. A dining table that seats 6-8 provides a way to enjoy the outdoors while being protected from the weather. Large screened windows and two doors lead to the fenced backyard. There is a 2nd gas fireplace in this room, which will let you enjoy meals and time with family and friends outdoors even when it's cold outside (there is no A/C in the 3-season room, but the walls are screened, and include a ceiling fan).

Down the hallway on the first floor is the largest of the two full bathrooms. It has a large walk-in shower (no bathtub). There are two bedrooms to finish off the first floor with queen beds. Both rooms include storage in dressers and/or closets and full-length mirrors, ceiling fans, bedside USB and power connections, hangers, and extra blankets and pillows to find just the right "fluff". One bedroom includes a small secretary desk and chair to keep up with any office work while you have your feet close to the sandy shores! The other bedroom includes a 43" flat screen smart TV.

Second Floor -

Upstairs, you can create your own "Primary Suite" or open up the space for all your guests. The entire floor is brightly lit with natural light and has hardwood floors.

The Primary bedroom is large and beautifully furnished with a king-sized bed, dressers, side tables, a full-length standing mirror, and other storage. There are USB/plugs at each bedside and there is a 50" flat screen smart TV on the wall.

There is a smaller full bathroom. This includes a shower/tub combination, tucked under a dormer (we also have a baby bath and other baby/toddler accessories).

Finally, the Family Room (or use it as a fourth bedroom) is expansive and includes a sectional sofa, a bar and bar stools, a 55" large screen smart television, and board games for guests to enjoy. There is plenty of room to bring an air mattress to use this room for extra sleeping space for our capacity of 10 guests. Out the back of the family room, you will enjoy a rooftop deck, often shaded by the large trees in the neighborhood, offering seating for several to enjoy.

Outside -

The front yard is the classic beach yard - stones and hardscaping, with two Adirondack seats to enjoy the neighborhood and morning sunshine with a cup of coffee. Parking is available for up to two cars in the driveway and three more cars on the street in front of the house.

The shaded backyard is private and includes a storage box that houses beach chairs, toys, boobie boards, and games. The fully fenced private backyard will keep your dog and/or children safe. A picnic table and outdoor chairs provide even more summer fun seating. There is a propane fire pit, aWeber propane grill with worktable as well as a private outdoor shower and a hammock!

With a FRIDAY changeover day in the summer months, you can get a jump ahead of beach traffic and enjoy more time on vacation. Check-in time is 4:00 pm and check-out time is 11:00 am so our housekeeping and maintenance staff can ready the rental for every guest.

We hope you plan your next vacation with us.
