A sprawling wraparound shaded deck is the perfect spot to listen to the sounds of the ocean while chatting with loved ones or sipping on your favorite drink. When bedtime arrives, a queen bedroom is nestled away for added privacy, sharing a bathroom with the floor and quick entry to the shared laundry area. All bedrooms throughout provide their own TV for easy relaxation.
Climb the spiral staircase to the stunning top floor, freshly outfitted in chic coastal décor that boasts a soothing color palette and cozy furnishings for the optimal in comfort. Wall-to-wall windows and high ceilings flood the space with natural light and panoramic views of the oceanfront from nearly every angle. The custom kitchen features white shaker cabinetry complemented by stone tops and stainless appliances. Meanwhile, a sizeable breakfast bar provides flexibility in seating if needed and allows the family sous chef extra space for chopping and prepping outside of the flow of what’s cooking in the kitchen.

Afterwards, the living area provides a welcome comfort zone for gathering and relaxing after days filled with island excitement.
