This perch is where you'll end your days mesmerized by the beauty of the sun setting over the water. It's spectacular every evening! Another Queen suite also bestows sun deck entrée and striking Atlantic aspects as well as its own full bath ensuite. Additionally, the laundry is conveniently located on this floor. For those desiring more privacy, the home's crofter provides its own deck with glimpses of the ocean just outside a thoughtfully appointed Queen suite that features a sitting/TV space and coffee bar with a sink and mini refrigerator. Centrally located between the two clubs, close to the Conservancy and stores, supplying two four-passenger golf carts for guest use, furnishing three outdoor showers, including a fun event deck on the beach access close to the sand as well as WWP's 24/7 Property Manager Assistance Line-which means you can reach needed help even after hours or on weekends, one stay at Southwinds will make it your BHI vacation go-to home year after year.
