With a variety of amenities and bedroom layouts and contemporary features, this rental home is well-suited for extended families and guests with a variety of interests and hobbies.

Traverse the semi-private, scenic walkway until your toes are buried in the sand or pause midway to chat with family underneath the walkway's gazebo. This home also features both covered and uncovered porches. The second-level side porch offers an unobstructed view of the sky, making it perfect for sunbathing or stargazing, while the front covered porch provides shade and an up-close view of surrounding woodlands.

Take your pick of the lift or stairs to head inside, where guests will find plenty of spots for each member of your family to enjoy. Numerous windows and porches allow natural sunlight in and provide serene views of the surrounding trees and coastal landscape.

Hold conversations and game nights in the large family area or gather around the open dining and kitchen area to make a memorable meal together. The small table and chairs in the loft area are great for card games or for use as a kids' colouring area. Music lovers and younger guests will appreciate the small lounge room on the ground floor for its piano, futon, bean bags and access to the covered porch.

Two sets of bunkbeds on the first-level southeast bedroom and two twin beds in another first-level bedroom are great for children and teens. Two master bedrooms located on the second level each with a private bathroom. There is even a garage underneath the house and the spacious hot-and-cold-water outdoor shower.

FYI

The property wasn’t taken care of on the inside and outside. The outside needed power washing, weeds pulled and trees trimmed. The inside had spots on the carpet, Lester leakage spots, and electrical outlets that were black around them. It didn’t look like the pictures online

Property needs TLC and owner not honest or available when needed

House in nice and in a great location. Access to beach was easy and neighborhood nice. Maintenance of property needs attention - yard overgrown, leaves and debris throughout carport and outdoor shower area, upper level ac did not cool properly and hvac was not able to get a straight answer from owner or permission to fix it, internet did not work all week until finally owner was reached and said a breaker needed to be switched - which meant no wifi or streaming, one shower was broken and water damage spots not painted or treated. Definitely needs some TLC inside and out. Would not rent again due to lack of attention from owner and obvious lack of care of property.
