The main living area is open and airy, with plush seating arranged around a sleek entertainment center and smart TV. Large windows frame views of the pool and fill the room with natural light, while designer coastal décor and artwork create a space that feels fresh and elegant. A GE Nugget Ice Maker is located here, so guests can easily enjoy restaurant-quality ice without ever leaving the lounge area.



The chef’s kitchen is a showpiece, designed with both style and functionality in mind. You’ll find custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium stainless-steel appliances, including a 48-inch gas range, oversized 56-inch refrigerator, wine cooler, and a second GE Nugget Ice Maker. The oversized island with bar seating makes this the heart of the home, perfect for casual breakfasts or cocktail prep before dinner.



The adjacent dining area features a large table that comfortably seats the entire group, allowing everyone to share meals together. Pendant lighting and elegant finishes make even casual dining feel like a special occasion.



Each of the seven bedrooms is designed as a private sanctuary, with plush bedding, calming coastal palettes, and thoughtful touches. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers, modern tile work, and spacious vanities, while the master bath offers both a soaking tub and a separate shower for a spa-like retreat.



Outdoor Living



The saltwater pool is the centerpiece of the outdoor space. Designed with a shallow sun shelf and surrounded by loungers, it’s ideal for both relaxation and play. Between October 1 and May 1, guests may request pool heating for $50/day, making it a year-round retreat.
