Neutrals and cool grays anchor this space, while pops of bright marine blue add a sense of playfulness and recall the home’s namesake.

The second bathroom with a standard tub/shower combo is located in the hall and is shared by the remaining three bedrooms. The first two bedrooms are each furnished with a queen bed. The final bedroom is arranged as the ultimate kid hang out, with a twin-over-double bunk bed, a twin-over-twin bunk bed, fun sea-life themed linens and even a stuffed friend or two!

Outside, the partially covered back deck offers a variety of furnishings to lounge on as you watch the kids splash in the pool or simply savor the vistas. The elevated saltwater private pool is a really peaceful getaway. Float your cares away to the relaxing soundtrack of singing birds and rusting marsh grasses even in the spring and fall - Pool heating may be added with advance notice for an additional fee of $100/day.

If you’re in the mood for adventure instead, head down to the private dock stretching into the canal below. Drop one of the three supplied kayaks into the water or grab a chair on the covered gazebo and cast your line instead.
