Ensure your next beach vacation is a true Island Retreat with a stay at this pretty modern home complete with an oceanfront hot tub and covered dunetop deck! With two master suites, plenty of seating and exceptional outdoor spaces to discover, there’s enough room for the entire family to spread out here.

Settle down in the living room to watch the big game on the 70 inch flatscreen TV on your choice of a pair of armchairs, a pair of recliners, or the reclining couch. Play a board game or savor your morning coffee at the modest round table for four chairs as you gaze out over the water. To the opposite side of the living room, an additional wide rectangular dining table and modest drop leaf table seat a total of 16 guests. The adjacent galley-style kitchen offers stainless-steel appliances and plenty of cabinet and counter space. Clean local produce or the catch of the day in the farmhouse sink as you watch palm fronds sway in the breeze.

Just off the kitchen is a half bath for your convenience, along with a bedroom that provides a double bed. All bedrooms in the home include their own TV for personal entertainment, so there’s no need to argue over the remote in the evenings. Just off the living room, you’ll discover the first master suite with a king bed and attached private bath with step in shower, along with direct porch access that makes stealing a fast dip in the hot tub before bed a breeze. With access available from the living room as well, this covered porch is furnished with rocking chairs and a classic wooden picnic table. The hot tub is located in a attached entirely fenced open deck with gates for safety, and a cold-water shower rinse off here helps ensure that sand stays on the beach!

Upstairs you’ll discover the rest of the home’s bedrooms and bathrooms. The second master suite is positioned directly above the first and also offers a king bed. This attached bath contains a standard tub/shower combo, and the room also provides direct access to the upper open sun deck, which is furnished with both lounge chairs and Adirondack chairs as well as spectacular vistas of the Atlantic. A secondary suite across the hall contains two queen beds and direct access to the same deck space. Both master suites and the secondary suite offer beautiful vistas of the sea. An attached standard full bath also offers hall access and is shared with the bedroom next door, which is also furnished with two queen beds. At the end of the hall, the final full bathroom with hall access is shared by two bedrooms that are each equipped with a queen bed.

When you’re ready to set up on the beach for the day, you’ll find a dedicated sand path right at the foot of the steps of your covered dunetop deck, once again gated for safety and offering classic rocking chairs and constructed in bench seating. Watch the kids fly kites or build castles on the shore while you sit in shade and comfort! On the ground level of the home, you’ll find an additional rinse off shower, this time with hot and cold water, along with a park style charcoal grille if you care to prepare out. Gather the family and escape to your Island Retreat today!
