Start the morning with coffee and an open Gulf view from the deck. Walk through the gate and onto the sand for a quiet beach morning, then return for a swim in the heated swim spa pool overlooking the water.
Spend the afternoon lounging on the deck, playing ping pong or cornhole downstairs, challenging the family to pool or shuffleboard, or simply enjoying the breeze and sound of the waves.
As evening arrives, gather around the fire pit, share dinner with the group, or head upstairs for a relaxing soak in the hot tub with the Gulf stretching out in front of you.

❋ THE SPACE
The main level features a bright, open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area designed for large groups.
Oversized windows fill the room with natural light and frame panoramic Gulf views, while warm hardwood floors, white shiplap details, soft coastal colors, and comfortable furnishings create a polished but relaxed beach-house atmosphere.
The living room includes oversized sofas and armchairs, a fireplace, and a 4K TV, making it a comfortable place for movie nights, conversation, or relaxing after the beach.
The open layout allows the kitchen, dining area, and living room to flow together, so guests can cook, eat, and spend time together without feeling separated.
