About this Property

October freshly available! Stunning sea vistas. Upscale opulence in a beach home with expansive seascape vistas. This oceanfront bungalow has been floor-to-ceiling referbished with an fresh modern coastal vibe that was designed by Susie to keep all different styles of visitors in mind.

The beach home is completely private. And we are located well away from the hordes -- often the beach is thoroughly empty in front of the home, accepting complete appreciation of the white sandy beaches.

Clean lines and bespoke furnishings let the lovely 180-degree sea vistas do all the talking. Two sets of sliding double doors open up to a sizable sunbathing outdoor space with plenty of furnishings to relish the sea wind (and tan without the sand), while sipping your favorite drink.

Outdoor dining for two is also recommended if you like romance, as you have an unobstructed view of over 2 miles of coastline (great for taking holiday pics).

For your comfort, we boast the shortest walk to the sand you can buy on the island if you feel like walking down to the beach to check on your family. But where Susie's Hideaway East very shines is when you wake up from a holiday siesta to the unbeatable vistas of the sand and sea from our bespoke-made napping couch.

Linens and towels are included. Also we are only 5 mins. on a walking path from a wine store, grocery stores, Jackies American Grille and other eateries.

Susie's Hideaway East includes all new kitchen with granite countertops, new appliances, new floor, new linens, ceiling fans, dishwasher, washer/dryer, 4 flat screen TVs, and wireless high-speed Internet access.

Susie's Hideaway is a duplex (with two sides, East and West). This listing is for the East side. It is thoroughly private -- there are no shared or common areas. And we are located well away from the hordes -- often the beach is completely empty in front of the home, accepting complete appreciation of the white sandy beaches!

Linens and towels are supplied.

Hosts: Susie & William
