As Good As It Gets! Rent The Whole House!
You will absolutely love this house. Everything in this house is brand new and upscale. It was remodeled from top to bottom in 2022! This owner has an eye for detail and luxury. No expense was spared in this amazing remodel. You won't be disappointed. Come on in, let's have a tour!
This house has an amazing open concept living area. You won't be blue when you are here. The upstairs is about the rest and relaxation and the downstairs is about enjoying yourselves. It's a little bit luxury, a little bit glam, a little bit modern, and a lot of fun. The owner didn't spare any money in his upgrade of this house. You even have an electric fireplace in the main living area. There are flat screen TV's in all the bedrooms, living room, and lower level. The beds are Purple memory foam mattresses. Upstairs you have 4 bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a king and a private en suite. The 2nd and 3rd Bedrooms have queen beds and the 4th bedroom is for the kids with a full size bunk and twin trundle bed.
Even the bathrooms are fabulous. The white water ripples surrounds and blue vanities. All of the shower heads are rain showers, including the outdoor shower for when you get back from the beach. In the bathrooms, you also have a hand held shower wand to spray those hard to reach places. The en suite and the lower level both have stand alone showers. The main hallway bath upstairs is a tub shower combo.
You will enjoy relaxing outside while you are here. Upstairs you have a few Adirondack chairs to relax out front. In the back, there is a beautiful cedar dining set overlooking the pool. Plus you have an additional cedar table down by the pool under the deck. This is an especially great place to relax when you have had too much sun.
Downstairs you have an efficiency unit with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and living areas. For sleep down here, you have a sleeper sofa, a daybed with a trundle. If needed, there is an additional mattress in the closet that you can put on the floor. As I mentioned before, this lower room is about the fun. You have a Sauna indoors and direct access to the pool and hot tub outside. You also have a charcoal grill and another outdoor seating area to enjoy your time here.
One thing you also get in this house is access to the right garage. You can park your car here, your beach toys, and chairs. If you are a wind sports person, it is a great place to store your equipment.
Nearby activities include Golf, Tennis, Water Park (seasonal), Surf Fishing, Bay Fishing, Deep Sea Fishing, Boating, Canoeing, Kayaking, Hiking, Fitness Center, Miniature Golf, Parasailing, Jet Skiing, Surfing, Windsurfing, Museums, Beachcombing, Horseback Riding, Movie Theater, Nightlife, and many, many, restaurants.

Summer Vacay
Terrific experience! Very spacious, beautiful house and yard, 3 blocks from beach! This house was great for my family. Kitchen is a little cramped and didn’t love that it doesn’t have a dishwasher so that was inconvenient but overall the house was great for what we wanted out of our vacay.

As Good As It Gets really is awesome
We were so impressed with this property. The spacious great room w/ recliners & large TV which my husband loved plus TVs in each bedroom, the kitchen amenities, the number of bedrooms & baths was awesome. The bedding was also very nice. The pool w/waterfall & hot tub were great - we were there for the month of March so didn’t use the pool but really enjoyed the hot tub & watching the waterfall . Plenty of towels in the bathrooms. The artwork on the walls was perfect for the Island vibe. Outdoor furniture was plentiful, Management was very helpful & quick with questions. The only complaints were there is no dishwasher as the listing said - and we cooked alot- and there were stairs to get in on both levels & for us it was tough carrying stuff up & down but if there were no stairs I would book this for 2 or 3 months next winter. And for everyone but my husband we were really close to beaches. Which was why we went to SPI’

Enjoyable vacay
The house was great. Everything went smoothly from speaking with the property manager, from check in to checking out.
The pool cleaners came twice while we had a morning swim but they were very fast and efficient.
Perfect for our family
