With two levels of expansive oceanfront decks and sunset-facing balconies that offer breathtaking views over the Intracoastal Waterway, this home is a dream for beach lovers, nature enthusiasts, and photographers alike. Inside, the open-concept, vaulted-ceiling living area invites connection, laughter, and relaxation. Cozy up with a movie on the large smart TV, challenge each other to a board game, or just soak in the panoramic ocean views from the plush seating—perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun. The dining area features a large farmhouse table that seats your entire group, and the fully stocked kitchen includes all cookware and utensils needed for family meals.

The sleeping arrangements include four king suites with premium bedding (three are oceanfront with deck access), one double bunk room perfect for kids, and a queen sofa bed in the main living space. All bedrooms include Roku smart TVs, ceiling fans, and closets, creating a private oasis for every guest. We've added everything to make your stay seamless—wet-weather entry, ample covered parking, a laundry room with washer, dryer, and utility sink, high-speed Wi-Fi for remote work or streaming, and an outdoor pool shower for quick rinses. It's not just a place to stay—it's where beachfront sunrises, family dinners, poolside afternoons, and starry nights in the hot tub turn into lifelong memories. From every room and deck, you're surrounded by the sights, sounds, and serenity of the coast. THINGS TO KNOW Private pool opens 5/1 and closes for the season on 10/30.
