The fully fenced backyard is designed for all-day recreation in the Florida sunshine. Practice your short game on the custom putting green, splash under the sun in the 82-degree heated swimming pool, or sip cold drinks in the shade of the tiki hut. When dusk arrives, pool lights turn on for a night swim while dinner sizzles on the barbecue grill, followed by s'mores and stories around the fire pit.
For an elevated perspective of the surrounding area, head up to the Bird's Nest lookout. This lookout platform presents panoramic 180-degree sightlines stretching across both the Atlantic Ocean and the river. It also provides a breezy sitting area and an open workout space equipped with yoga mats, exercise bands, a vibration plate, and a Pilates ring.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly friendly and responsive, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The location was perfect — close to everything we wanted to see and do. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and it truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
House was beautiful and perfect for our family gathering. Loved the openness of main level which made entertaining easier. We spent most of our time in the backyard which was wonderful. Between the comfy seating, pool, putting green and corn hole there was plenty for everyone to enjoy. The short walk to the beach a bonus. Would definitely recommend.
My family of 11 had the best time at this property. We had plenty of room to spread out. The pool in the backyard was fabulous. The walk to the beach took just a few minutes. The owners have the kitchen stocked with any thing you would need to cook a nice meal. There’s plenty of games and activities for the kids and adults alike. I think someone else mentioned the gas station next-door, but it didn’t bother us one bit. I would definitely come back again.
The house is great—big and fully equipped, perfect for a large family. We love the spaces, and the house is very comfortable. One thing I didn’t like is that the house is next to a big gas station, and you can sometimes smell fuel when you’re outside. Other than that, the house is close to the beach and the supermarket, making everything easy to enjoy.Thanks!
We really loved this home. It was perfect for our group of 9 people ages 5-82. The kids Loved the pool and all the games available. The outdoor space was amazing and we all enjoyed ping pong inside. The floor plan is open and very spacious for cooking, enjoying meals and watching movies. We also really appreciated that all cabinets were labeled and supplies were abundant. It was also an easy walk to the beach. We would highly recommend staying here with your group!
