If the sun becomes too intense, a quick retreat awaits in our downstairs game room, where you can cool off and engage in friendly shuffleboard competition, or take a trip down memory lane with classic arcade games. Our property boasts two distinct entrances. The downstairs entry, conveniently located adjacent to the garage, offers both convenience and privacy. As you enter, you'll find a bathroom with a refreshing shower to your right and a short hallway leading to a well-equipped kitchenette, complete with its own sink, microwave, and a full-size refrigerator. The garage houses the washer and dryer for your use during your stay, providing added convenience. In the garage you'll find a wagon to help you haul your beach equipment. Moving further down the hallway, you'll discover our first master bedroom, thoughtfully furnished with a queen-sized bed offering space for some downtime. Adjacent to the ground level master bedroom, the game room provides additional sleeping space with a full size pull-out sofa and a TV. Here, you can indulge in Ms. Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat, Star Wars pinball, shuffleboard, and other arcade favorites. You'll also find an assortment of board games for family of all ages. Please note that the downstairs suite and the main level (2nd floor) are accessed via separate entrances, ensuring privacy for your group. There is no internal staircase between the ground level and main floor. We guarantee that we only rent the entire house to a single party at a time, providing you with an exclusive experience. To access the main level (2nd floor), ascend the staircase to the right of the driveway. Step into the spacious living area featuring a 56" Samsung TV with a Roku streaming device. The fully equipped kitchen is a culinary haven, complete with a 5-burner gas Whirlpool stove, double oven, microwave, side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, Keurig, and drip coffeemaker. Gather around the dining room table, which seats eight adults. Our main level front deck spans nearly 315 sq feet, offering an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails in a shaded oasis. The main-level bedroom features a twin-size day bed with a trundle and a twin-over-full bunk bed, comfortably accommodating up to 5 people. The bathroom on this floor boasts a bath/shower combination with space for towels. The hallway leads to the 2nd-floor back porch, a versatile space with a covered, screened area featuring a built-in fan for enjoying sunset views while keeping pesky sand gnats at bay. The uncovered portion of the back porch offers a generously sized picnic table. For the ultimate in privacy, head upstairs to the third level, which houses the master bedroom and bathroom. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed and a TV. Step outside onto the smaller master deck to enjoy some private moments away from the family downstairs. The master bathroom boasts a separate shower and tub. We have three outdoor cameras. The first is bottom floor at the front door, the second is at the pool door, and the third is at the main level door. All cameras are pointed away from the inside of the home for your privacy. Experience the ultimate beachside getaway in our splendid beach house, where relaxation and fun await.

House Rules

Please no smoking/vaping. Please lock all doors and windows. Please shut off all the lights and arcade games when you leave. If your group's stay includes a Monday or a Thursday, please take the trash out by 7:00 AM--our cleaners won't be by to do it for you. No diving or glass in the pool please. We added a water hose underneath the side stairwell to wash the sand off before entering the pool--please wash off! If you use the pack and plays for the kids, please leave them out so our cleaners will know to sanitize them for the next group of guests. Have fun!

We had a great time during our stay. The kitchen and arcade were stocked with welcome treats (which the kids devoured). Everything was clean and organized. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We have stayed at dozens of AirBNBs and this place ranks at the top based upon the detail and care put in by the hosts. The property was in a great location and had plenty of space for our crew of 9.

Everything was great. Clean, well positioned, little treats like Bundt cakes and candy, plenty of coffee. Get a golf cart. You can ride all over the place. You really get to see what a person is made of when something goes wrong. The hot water didn’t work. As soon as I told the manager 4 different people showed up and got it fixed right away. Less than an hour later. 11 stars!
