Make your escape to Sandbridge cool and carefree at this lakefront home a short walk from the beach. This house even offers a feature not often found in Sandbridge - a tranquil lake where you can fish and observe abundant local wildlife.
Carefree has two levels of living space and five roomy bedrooms, all of which include wall-mounted flatscreen TVs and custom closets. Three of the bedrooms have their own private bathrooms as well.
Make yourself at home upstairs, where you'll find a living room with great lake views, a large-screen TV, and access to the dining area and kitchen. The dining table is big enough for memorable family dinners, with additional seating for four at the kitchen counter. Whip up some cocktails in the margarita machine and sit outside on the screened-in porch (screened even on the bottom to prevent any unwanted guests!). This lovely space features a flatscreen TV and ceiling fans for your evening entertainment.
There are three bedrooms on the upper floor, including a primary suite with a private bathroom, and a newly renovated full hallway bathroom. A spiral staircase (with a locking gate for the kids) leads to the lower floor, where you'll find two more bedrooms with private bathrooms.
Plenty of shady areas can be found under the house, which boasts comfortable seating, two outdoor showers (with hot and cold water), two single swings, and a double-seated swing. Play a game of volleyball in the yard, sit by the lake and drop a line in, or take one of the two provided canoes out for a paddle. Watch sliders basking in the sun, osprey soaring overhead, and blue heron catching a meal right off the lake’s edge. Enjoy the hammock by the lake with a good book or watch nature.
Additional amenities include a gas grill, an elevator (available by request only for guests in need and with prior approval), and ample parking for your vehicles and bikes. You'll be just a short stroll from the most private part of Sandbridge Beach - if you love surfing, this is a great beach break and a local secret!
Things to know Two outdoor showers (with hot and cold water) Canoe use is at your own risk; paddles and life jackets are provided The elevator is available by request only for guests in need and with prior approval The fireplace is not for guest use

House was clean. Dated. Top bunks not made. Kitchen well appointed. Good family space. Comfortable beds and plenty of baths. Volleyball and basketball not on property. Not insulated for a winter rental. Downstairs bedrooms too cold. Not livable. We had to buy space heaters.

Perfect!
This was our favorite vacation home! Location was perfect with the water way behind the house for lots of fishing and canoeing and the beach a few blocks away! The yard was perfect for yard games. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. The layout of the house was nice as well! We did not want to leave!

Great property but issues with hot water.
Great property. Plenty of room, access to lake and the beach were great. Plenty to do. Our only issue was the lack of hot water (tepid at best) in the kitchen. Hot water was sporadic and inconsistent in all other locations. A plumber assessed the issue 3 times during our week long trip.

Wonderful Family Beach House!
We had everything we needed for our family to enjoy our stay! The kitchen was well appointed, the family room was spacious, the beach was walking distance away, and the outdoor swings and basketball goal were a big hit! We would stay here again. Thanks!

Perfect
We came down for a friend's wedding. This was the perfect house and location. With the lake in the back and a short walk to the beach. With more than enough space for everyone. The screened in porch and the swings underneath is where we all stayed most of the time, even with the rain we had. We will definitely be back
