Browse the main house guest kiosk at the kitchen peninsula to see local beaches, favorite tv channels, and even current radar. Turn on the main room's full-room Bluetooth speakers and a faux fireplace to create an awesome escape.

Amazing house! Everything was beautiful and spotless. We enjoyed the pool, outdoor shower and especially the screen porch. Cottage style with very well used space. Highly recommend this property!
