5 Bedroom 2nd Row Home with Heated Pool and Spectacular Marsh and Ocean Views

Cleaning, Linens, Towels and Pool Heating are included in base rate!

This new, 5-bedroom home, finished in May 2016, boasts the best decks on the island. Enjoy ocean and marsh views from two levels of wrap around porches that ensure plenty of sun or shade to meet your mood at any time of the day. From the back decks we have spotted deer, coyotes, and several bird species. From the front deck, you can see dolphins playing in the wake of shrimping boats, rabbits hopping in the dunes, and on May 6th, we even spotted a whale breaching.

The CAMA public beach access directly across the street makes getting to the beach a breeze, and a private pool, shaded at mid-day, offers a relaxing alternative to the ocean. Your family will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water.

The home is built on an inverted floor plan with four bedrooms on the first level: facing the ocean are: a six-person bunk bed room that is perfect for kids and a queen bedroom, and facing the marsh are one queen bedroom and one bedroom with two twin beds. The master bedroom, with a king bed, provides an amazing ocean view from the second level. Also on the second level are: the kitchen, dining room and living room, all with views of both the ocean and marsh. This house has beds for 8 adults and 6 children. 10 adults can also comfortably sleep with two adults per bedroom.

This house has two levels of wrap around porches to optimize vistas of the ocean and marsh. Enjoy views of the ocean from rocking chairs on the top deck or the first floor deck. Enjoy a meal and a spectacular marsh view from the top rear deck - you might spot deer, raccoons and coyotes and you will definitely see several birds and crabs. Relax by the marsh on the first floor rear deck with cushioned patio furniture and a 4 person table perfect for a board game or a snack. The front and rear decks are connected through large side decks which provide great play areas for kids. Should pool time prove too much fun, take a break at the pool-side, shaded picnic table. It is a great spot for lunch and it's close to the charcoal grill available for renters to use. If you're visiting us in the off-season, the pool can be heated for your comfort.

This is our dream home and because we want you to feel at home here we offer toys, games, books, beach chairs, beach tent, linen and towel service and a stocked kitchen. We hope to welcome you soon!

Can’t beat location!

This is our fourth time staying in this house with two families with children. The views from the house and the quick walk to the beach are amazing. And the pool is a nice bonus! The house itself is clean and in great shape. Lots of beach chairs, toys, games, and books (kids and adult) available. We always have a great stay!

This house was the perfect location with the public access to beach almost right across the street. The views are amazing from every room in the house, the kitchen had everything you could need, and we really enjoyed the outside space and pool. The host stayed in touch and was flexible with check-in and check-out as we stayed during off season. Definitely will return here in the future!

Mostly great

This is our second stay at the Purple Porpoise and our family of 10 had a great vacation both times.Things we loved: Location, view, marsh, house design and outside spaces. Suggestions: Extra towels, fridge way too small for 10 people and ice maker was anemic and fridge took a long time to cool back down after loading it. A large salad bowl and some regular cookie sheets would be nice. Sharpen knives. One broken beach chair and a lounge chair by the pool needs replacing. None of these, except maybe fridge comments, are at all serious complaints. It's a great house.

Another nice vacation at this place

This was the second time my family, eight of us, stayed at this house. We enjoy the location of the house, just across the road from the beach access with a view of the ocean and the marsh. The house was clean which is a necessity for me, and has enough room for our family to spread out. The owner is always very prompt to respond and help in any way. Already planning to stay here again next year!
