Through the rec room is a private deck with a hot tub, table and chairs, louvered lattice on the north and south sides, and a dune to the east. Steps lead you from the ground floor deck up to the first floor without walking through the house, so a soak in the hot tub and a swim in the pool are only moments apart.

Relaxation and vacation fun will be enjoyed whether you're indoors or out! A large oceanview pool with loungers, a poolside cabana, a gas grill, an outdoor shower, and a hot tub are all available, with an amazing view of the ocean no matter where you choose to hang out. A short walk towards the ocean puts you on a large dune deck with a polywood picnic table overlooking the Atlantic. Back towards the house, there is a covered deck with a table, chairs, extra seating, and louvered lattice on the north and south sides. A sliding glass door leads you inside.

The first floor lounge and rec room include a pool table, seating, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, microwave, and icemaker.

The king bedroom adjacent to the rec room is equipped for those with special needs with a private bath that has a roll-under sink and a low-barrier shower with a shower seat. This room has a sliding glass door that leads directly out to the deck, making it easy for those staying in it to access the pool area. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath with a shower/tub.

A service kitchen and pantry are positioned off the kitchen with a third sink, a third refrigerator, and more cabinet and counter space. Two sliding glass doors lead from the great room and dining area to the covered deck with outdoor dining and seating options for those who want to sip coffee or enjoy a meal al fresco. A walkway from the deck towards the ocean leads you out towards two sun decks that overlook the pool area and, most impressively, look out over the beach from a unique vantage point that isn't available in almost all other oceanfront homes.

Bedding on this level includes six king bedrooms with private baths with walk-in showers. Along the hallway that leads to each of the bedrooms is a sitting area with a bookshelf and board games and an office area with a large desk and chairs for those needing to do some work or school while out of town.

The third floor is a hub for competition and fun with a pool table, ping-pong table, and arcade games. There are seating options, a flat screen TV, and a large glass-paned wall that allows you to overlook the great room and enjoy ocean views. A beverage fridge on this level means snacks and drinks don't have to be retrieved from the kitchen but stored up here for convenience all vacation long. Please note that the elevator does not travel to this floor.
