The ground level offers a lively rec room/media room outfitted with sofa-chaise lounge seating and a TV. It is the natural gathering spot for friendly tournaments and rainy-afternoon movie marathons, and a half bath is conveniently located.

Doors open to a covered outdoor recreation area. An expansive outdoor living area is filled with amenities, including a refreshing custom pool with built-in seating. The pool deck is brightly furnished with a variety of sitting, lounging, and dining options to ensure premium outdoor leisure and two shady pergolas provide a respite from the sun. The shared walkway offers a dune-top deck with amazing views and allows for quick trips to and from the beach to sunbathe, stroll along the shoreline, or romp in frolicking waves. A gas grill and two outdoor showers complete these amenities, and six parking spaces welcome the whole group.

The first floor is dedicated to private sleeping accommodations, including two bedrooms with private baths furnished with king beds and TVs.

As evening sets, retreat to the bubbling hot tub to rejuvenate mind, body, and soul to the lull of waves lapping the shoreline.

Don't worry, just be happy in a vibrant great room that's bathed in sunshine and is furnished in a bold palette of pleasing colors.
