ABOUT THIS SPACE Step out back and you'll understand why guests book this home. The private, resort-style backyard is the star: a large pool for lazy afternoons, a hot tub for after the sun goes down, sun loungers for drying off, and an outdoor dining area that seats twelve. When the stars come out, gather at the fire pit or fire up the projector and 10-ft screen for movie nights and big-game watch parties. It's the kind of yard that turns an ordinary evening into the reason people remember the trip. Inside, the living room is made for regrouping after a beach day — two comfortable sofas, a large storage ottoman that doubles as a coffee table, and a 75" QLED TV with Roku. Rainy or chilly day? The dining table converts into a pool table, so the fun never stops. The kitchen is fully equipped for real cooking, with a coffee bar featuring both drip and Nespresso (coffee included), plus a washer and dryer just off the kitchen with detergent provided. Everyone sleeps well here. All three bedrooms have a king memory-foam bed with plush bedding and a 65" QLED TV, so every group gets privacy and comfort — no drawing straws for the good room. The primary bedroom adds a kids' nook with twin bunk beds, and two twin roll-away beds are available to move wherever you need them. The primary bath is a spa moment of its own, with a jacuzzi tub, a walk-in shower, and two separate vanity areas so busy beach mornings run smoothly. A second full bath keeps everyone moving. Extras throughout include a pool table, ping pong, karaoke, board games, and pool toys — plus fast Wi-Fi for anyone who needs to check in with the outside world.
