Read along for a quick layout of our space!
When you arrive, you’ll step right into a stylish living room featuring a comfortable L-shaped sofa that is perfect for lounging. Sip your morning coffee at the coffee table while enjoying your favorite shows with friends or family. The space is filled with inviting natural light, thanks to two sliding glass doors that open to the patio. For added comfort, black-out curtains allow you to darken the living room and dining space to your liking. We’ve thoughtfully designed this space to feel like a home away from home.
This condo showcases modern art and a cohesive black-and-white theme throughout, blending beachside relaxation with the vibe of city living. For your entertainment, we’ve included a Roku TV, and guests are welcome to log in to their own streaming accounts like Netflix for a personalized experience.
Our modern kitchen features an open-concept layout that flows effortlessly into the living and dining area, perfect for enjoying meals and quality time together. The breakfast bar with four barstools offers a cozy spot for dining or even a convenient workspace if you're on a work-from-home trip. The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked with full-size appliances, dishes, bakeware, pots and pans, silverware, utensils, a crockpot, flat griddle, toaster, blender, and both a traditional coffee maker and a Keurig. If you plan to cook during your stay, please bring any spices, condiments, and cooking oils you may need, as we do not provide perishable or non-perishable food items.
Just off the living area, you'll find the bedroom, featuring a memory foam king bed and an abundance of pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The space is decorated with modern art and includes blackout curtains to help you sleep in or wind down after a long day at the beach. The open-closet design offers convenient storage for your clothes and belongings during your stay. Additionally, two memory foam twin trundle beds provide extra sleeping space, ideal for families or groups. A Roku-enabled TV is also available in the bedroom, so you can relax in bed and enjoy your favorite shows.
The bathroom features a shower and tub combination, perfect for relaxing baths, along with soft, plush towels and ample space to get ready comfortably.
Our laundry room offers guests the convenience of a stackable Maytag washer and dryer for use during your stay. No need to visit the laundromat!
We’ve got you covered for your little ones with an easy-to-use high chair, pack-and-play, plastic silverware, cups, and dishes, and everything you need for your tiny travelers! These items are always available, so there’s no need to request, rent, or pack them.
You’ll also be in the perfect spot within our gated community, offering convenient access to all amenities. Tennis courts are just across the parking lot from your condo, simply bring your gear and enjoy a game at your leisure. One of the three community pools is located next to the courts, and as an added bonus, it’s the only pool that’s seasonally heated!
For a peaceful retreat, take a short stroll behind the condo to our serene lake, ideal for an evening walk. Don’t forget to peek over the bridge and spot the abundance of turtles that call this space home. Lastly, guests can take advantage of the charcoal grills located throughout the complex for any meals they’d like to cook outdoors.
Guest Access:
A few important things to keep in mind:
-We supply all linens for your stay (to include beach towels). Our cleaners offer a courtesy supply of LIGHT amenities (a trash bag, roll of toilet paper, paper towels, soap, dish detergent, & laundry soap). If you have a trip longer than 24 hours, or are coming with a larger group please plan ahead & bring any extra items you anticipate needing during your stay.
-Due to this being a residential complex, noise ordinances are at 10pm sharp. We do not permit excessive noise, parties, illegal activity, or disturbances at any time.
-This is a bottom unit, so there is a potential for noise & any noise from the top floor is beyond our control. If you are extremely sensitive to noise we do NOT recommend this location, please ask us about another location that may be a better fit for your stay!
-While we do host groups 25 years or younger at our discretion, we must be notified before your confirmed booking. We do not host one night bookings for ages 25 and younger at any time.
-Any stay that a house trained pet will be included in MUST be disclosed when booking, as a pet fee of $50 is required. We do not accept more than 2 dogs, and pets must be crated when unattended and cleaned up after inside and out. Pets are not permitted on furniture at any time. ADA recognized service animals are not charged a pet fee, but ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are still subject to pet fee. False information regarding a service animal is against the law in our state, so we appreciate your honesty in this matter.
-We are NOT beachfront, you can't see the beach, you can't stick your toes in the sand from the front door, and you do have to get in your vehicle to drive to the PUBLIC beach access that is 3/4 mile from our condo. We do not have a gated or private beach access at this location. We do provide chairs, an umbrella, and beach towels for our guests to use at the beach.
-This is a mixed community with residential & short term guests alike. While the gated community itself is a "community in transition" with updates to the exterior being improved steadily, we do not have control over any "look" of the exterior of our condo. We have gone above & beyond to create a cozy space INSIDE for our guests enjoyment!
Other Things to Note:
PLEASE read our house rules in detail before booking. We take time to put important information here that we need each guest to take into consideration when booking our home. While not all items listed may apply to your stay, we host guests of various group compositions so must list all rules that could apply to a trip. Thank you for your understanding!
