Pool: The private pool is open 4/4/2026 through 10/24/2026 and 3/27/2027 through 10/23/2027. Pool heat is available for $600.00. Pool heated by heat pump. Ambient air temperature of 60 degrees or higher is needed to heat the pool, meaning that if the temperature drops below 60 degrees the pump will not continue to heat. Max pool temperature is 80 degrees.

Path to Beach: Due to shifting ocean currents and wind, sand accumulation can cover the beach walkway and dune-top deck.

2027 Holiday Week Check-In: Our offices will be closed on December 25, 2027 for the Christmas Day holiday. If your 2027 lease check-in date is on Christmas Day please note that we will work to make special arrangements to alter your check-in date.
