The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged to maximize comfort. The primary bedroom offers a king bed and access to a private deck overlooking the peaceful street—ideal for morning coffee in the salty breeze.

Outside, beachside relaxation awaits. Grandparents will adore rocking on the front porch as they watch the little ones splash in the pool. Fire up the gas grille for an evening BBQ, then gather around the one-of-a-kind firepit to roast marshmallows and share stories under the stars. After a day in the sun, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower before heading inside to relax.
