There are two covered porches that can be accessed from downstairs as well, one on the front with rocking chairs to savor your morning coffee, and the other with a private wooded view; both have stairs to the ground floor. Under the home, you'll find all the beach gear, a gas grille, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand after a long day at the beach.
