The living room provides plenty of comfortable seating to watch a favorite movie together on the large flatscreen TV, or enjoy a game of cards around the coffee table while soaking in the amazing view instead! You’ll find a roomy dining table that comfortably seats eight nestled between the living room and kitchen, with bar stools available at the kitchen counter for additional seating. The modern kitchen is fully equipped for preparing your favorite meals or fresh catch of the day. Just off the living room you’ll find the master bedroom with attached bath and direct deck access with a view. Off of the kitchen are two more bedrooms that share a full bathroom with hall access.
