Second Floor:
The queen suite features a private deck with direct access to the backyard and hot tub—creating a true getaway.
A second queen bedroom and twin room share a screened porch and a convenient layout for families or mixed groups.

Ground Level:
An outdoor bathroom with shower and toilet sits under the carport—ideal for rinsing off after the beach before heading inside.

???? The Hot Tub — Simple Access, Day or Nighttime

Located at ground level in the backyard, the hot tub is private to Unit A and conveniently accessible from both the yard and the second-floor queen suite’s private deck.

One note: it’s partially visible from the neighboring unit’s exterior stairwell, so not entirely secluded—but still one of the most convenient setups for a fast soak after the beach.

???? The Screened Porches — Outdoor Living, Done Right

Savor multiple screened porches across two levels, each offering a different experience.

The third-floor porch connects to the main living space and king suite, with the best vistas and breezes—ideal for morning coffee or evening wind-downs.

The second-floor porch is shared by the queen and twin rooms, creating a casual hangout space for the whole group.

???? The Vistas — Honest and Worth It

This is a second-row property, one block from the ocean.

From the upper floors, you’ll savor sound vistas on one side and partial ocean vistas on the other—giving you both sunrise and sunset energy without the oceanfront price tag.

Lower levels are more about function than vistas, but the upper floors deliver where it counts.

???? The Beach Bathroom — The Detail That Changes Everything

Located under the carport, this outdoor bathroom includes a shower and toilet with exterior access only.

It’s designed for real beach living—rinse off, change, and keep sand out of the home. After a few days, it becomes one of the most appreciated features of the entire stay.

⚠️ Hot Tub Disclaimer

This property features a private outdoor hot tub that the guests are welcome to use during their stay. The hot tub is inspected, and chemically balanced, every week. However, this does not guarantee that the spa water will be chemically balanced prior to your arrival. Guests are encouraged to chemically check the water prior to entry with the included pH strips.

Our team inspects and services the hot tub after each guest stay to ensure clean and proper operation. However, because factors such as weather, frequency of use, and guest product residue (lotions, oils, soaps, etc.) can affect the water quality, guests are strongly encouraged to use the supplied pH test strips to check chemical levels before entering the hot tub.

If the water appears cloudy, has an unusual odor, or shows imbalanced results on the test strip, guests should avoid using the hot tub and contact the host immediately for assistance.

By choosing to use the hot tub, you acknowledge that it carries inherent risks, including but not limited to slipping, falling, drowning, overheating, dehydration, chemical sensitivities, and health complications related to heat exposure.

You agree that you are solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of all members of your group, including kids and any invited guests. The owner/manager does not assume responsibility for injuries, illnesses, accidents, allergic reactions, or other incidents that may occur in or around the hot tub.

Individuals with medical conditions—including pregnancy, heart disease, high/low blood pressure, or those under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications—should not use the hot tub unless advised by a physician.

By entering or using the hot tub, you voluntarily release and hold harmless the property owner/manager from all liability, including personal injury, illness, damage, or loss related to hot tub use—whether caused by negligence, misuse, acts of nature, or any other factor.
