Amazing Panoramic Gulf Views-120 Steps to Beach- Huge Deck- Large Beautiful Home

You will love this serene slice of paradise only 120 steps from the sea. Kismet has plenty of room for your whole family to relax! Kismet offers over 1,700 square feet of newly remodeled space on 2 floors. There are 3 bedrooms - all with new furniture, new linens and 40-inch flat-screen TV's, 3 bathrooms, and 2 large living areas (50 inch TV’s), a well-equipped kitchen, and a kitchenette in the second living area.
Of course, WiFi is included, along with Roku streaming for each room.

A large deck surrounds 2 sides of the house and is furnished with charcoal grill, large dining table, outdoor sectional, coffee table, and an additional small pub table. The deck boasts panoramic gulf views and cool gulf breezes. Relax on the large sectional and listen to the waves roll in, as you enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail.

The living area features a very comfortable sectional sofa, coffee table, end tables, wood-burning fireplace, and large picture window with a beautiful unobstructed gulf view. There’s nothing between Kismet and the sea except grassland and the beach.

At Kismet, we don’t lug gallons of drinking water up long flights of stairs. Kismet features a whole house water filtration system with an additional reverse osmosis filtration system for drinking water and ice. This is very important on this part of the Gulf, as the public water is well water (non-potable) it is normally recommended that residents and guests drink only bottled water and haul in ice.

The kitchen, with tile worktops, is very well equipped: including a coffeemaker, blender, toaster, glasses, dishes, wine glasses, utensils, brand new pots & pans, waffle maker, grill tools, crab pot, etc. Appliances include a glass hob, oven, microwave, stainless steel refrigerator with reverse osmosis filtered water/ice door dispenser and dishwasher.


Upstairs there is a master suite and a second bedroom. The first has a sumptuous king size memory foam bed appointed with luxury linens (including down alternative mattress topper and duvet), large bathroom, plenty of storage space, and a 40" HDTV TV. The second bedroom has an equally lavish queen size bed, a 40" HDTV, and is adjacent to a second full bath.

The ground floor has an additional large living room with a 50" HDTV TV, and 2 days beds that each convert easily to king beds. There is also a kitchenette with a sink, fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The large bedroom has a king bed, 40 inch HDTV, chest of drawers, and small sitting area. The downstairs bathroom has a double sink and an attached enclosed indoor/outdoor shower. The ground floor can be accessed either by a spiral staircase indoors, or french doors leading to the outside. This makes Kismet uniquely accessible for your older relatives.
High-quality linens, towels & beach towels are provided at NO ADDITIONAL FEE.

We had an amazing experience on our three night stay! The view of the beach is unobstructed with easy access to the beach. The accommodations met all of our needs from the fully equiped kitchen, to great air conditioning, good beds, hot showers, and fun times had on the deck, around the dinner table, and at the beach with our family!

The property is somewhat quirky but the description is pretty accurate. This is a far from fancy property but very clean and comfortable and very close to the beach. You can see the ocean from the balcony. It was well stocked with games, movies, books, and streaming subscriptions for rest time. The kitchen had everything we needed. Communication with the host was excellent. Just be sure and ask all your questions when booking. There were a couple of safety issues for our toddler and some updates would totally make this an Excellent rating.

The inside of the house was exactly as shown in the pictures and was nice. The Air Conditioner did not want to keep up with the gulf coast heat. The mosquitos outside were the worst i have ever seen. Even with bug spray they would attack you as soon as you walked outside.

The beach really was 120 steps away!!! Games books and movies for all ages. Tvs all over. Bathrooms were great! Beds were great. The comforter was too big to put in a pillowcase, I hope she understands The home is beautiful and decorated beautifully. We had everything we could want. We brought our own food in. The rules are easy to understand and follow. I hope we go again. LOVED IT!!!!

We enjoyed the stay at Kismet. The beach house was close to the beach. That made it easy to go to and return home with ease. The house itself was nice and as pictured. There was a good view of the ocean from the deck. The beds were comfortable. At the end of our stay, we were pleased to have chosen this property! Thank you Kismet.
