DriftAway to the Beach

Welcome to the beach life. Newer home 1 block from the beach. Beautifully decorated 5 bedroom 4 1/2 bath home just waiting for you to experience the best of the beach life. Sleeps 14. A 2 person elevator is available.

Giant kitchen with upscale Thermador appliances, refrigerator, 6 burner range and double oven, microwave, dishwasher, KitchenAid under counter ice maker and an oversized island. Fully stocked dinnerware setting, glassware, cooking accessories and everything needed to cook the dream vacation meal.

Each bedroom (bunk room excluded) has a full bathroom and wall mounted 42" Smart TV. Bunk room has 3 twin beds and 1 full bed, a wall mounted 42" Smart TV and a large selection of board games to keep the kids busy.

Living room has an electric fireplace, leather recliners and a 65" Smart TV. A queen size Murphy bed has been added in the living room for additional sleeping arrangements and comes with a fold up desk. View the beach from the dining room table that seats 10.

Take in views of the sunrise on the back porch. The home has 4 balconies with 2 Adirondack chairs and a small table on each deck. The main back balcony has 2 Adirondack chairs, 1 small table and 2 rocking Adirondack chairs. We recently added a latched gate on the main back deck for added safety. Sip a coffee or cocktail and just enjoy the views from any balcony.

Outside in the garage, have a seat in the lawn furniture while someone cooks your favorite meal with the gas barbecue. After a day at the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower. We have also included a Tesla charger in the garage for any electric vehicle that needs charging.
