The first of two side-by-side living rooms is furnished with a cozy sofa and two chairs, one of which is situated in a sunny alcove with stained glass windows, perfect for curling up with a good book. The large HDTV invites you to relax with a beverage and a snack while you stream your favorite new bingeable show. Either way, this welcoming space will surely become one of your favorites. The second living room is perfect for quiet conversation, set up with a sofa and two chairs facing each other. A great spot for planning your next day s activities!

In the evening, break out the graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows for s'mores over the fire pit!

We picked this home because of the location and pool. Easily walkable to the beach and downtown(and the amount of people allowed)

Amazing location, so close to the beach, as well as local shops and restaurants. The pool was very comfortable. Some outdoor amenities were in a state of disrepair (horseshoes, hammock, ping pong), but the firepit, chairs, hot tub, and pool area were fantastic, and the location was unbeatable. We would happily stay here again in the future.
