Two gas grilles will certainly inspire some poolside picnics, complemented by refreshment from the adjacent tiki bar. Just inside, discover another wet bar/kitchenette in a recreation area that will delight all ages. There’s a billiards table, a shuffleboard table, and two arcade style games for the competitors among you and a media area with theater-style seating and a enormous Intelligent Roku TV to stream your favorite movies. There’s also a laundry room and half-bath on this level. Completing the ground level are two master bedrooms with ensuite baths: a two-set pyramid bunk room and a room providing a queen and single.

Six more master bedrooms occupy the mid-level, all with private bathrooms and Intelligent Roku TVs including a two-set pyramid bunk room and five king bedrooms, one of which offers an accessible-friendly bathroom. All of the bedrooms have access to the deck for either pool or ocean vistas. A separate office area features a slider to a deck that accepts natural light to enhance a productive remote workstation.

On the third level — accessible by a convenient elevator — the great room’s high ceilings, wood floors and multiple windows infuse the space with a warm casual elegance and natural light. Plentiful and comfortable seating provides an inviting getaway to play games and entertain with a huge flat screen TV.
