That's possible with two separate living areas; one upstairs and one downstairs, giving everyone ample room to enjoy different venues, games, and activities. Each living area has comfortable large couches and recliners for your group, along with large TVs equipped with Rokus and Spectrum Cable TV.

Dance, sing, or simply enjoy listening to your favorite tunes in the upstairs living room, backyard, front porch, and master bedroom with a Bluetooth-enabled sound system.
You might decide to take a break from eating at all the wonderful restaurants on the island and decide to eat-in on some nights. This kitchen is such a joy to cook in, gorgeous and functional. Not only is it fully stocked with all the basics - pots, pans, utensils, microwave, dishwasher, and stainless steel appliances, you'll also find wonderful extras such as an InstaPot, Vitamix blender, air fryer and Keurig coffee machine. The lovely quartz countertops and large island are beautifully framed by brilliant teal blue glass tiles. The dining area features a custom-made table with comfortable seating for 6 with two additional barstools at the kitchen bar counter. Gorgeous!
Outdoors you'll find a private oasis filled with palms, floral tropical plants, and a private chilled heated pool surrounded by a stamped concrete patio. Sit back and relax on the new high-end Berlin Garden lounge chairs or cozy up by the propane fire pit. While grilling, enjoy playing Cornhole along the back of the house or play fetch with your pup. This poolside outdoor dining area is just waiting for you to enjoy a meal prepared on the propane grill. Sip a cocktail or enjoy a meal as you watch the sunsets and listen to your tunes on the large, beautifully decorated, upstairs covered front porch. If you need to get away for some peaceful quiet time to relax or read, take a seat in the comfortable Adirondack chairs in the quaint, quiet, and fully shaded sitting area downstairs. Lush plants, painted surfboard art, and custom mosaic tiles embedded into the flooring add to the tranquil atmosphere.
If the weather turns bad or you need a break from sun outdoors, you'll never be bored with so many choices for inside fun. There is enough room to be all together in one of the living areas, or for each person to hide away in their own quiet space. In addition to the large game room and unique to any other homes on the island, you will find the upstairs “Game Closet” which holds, 60+ family games and puzzles, books to read, 200+ movies, karaoke machine, and a popcorn maker to keep the party going. For those that want to enjoy some personal screen time, high-speed Spectrum Wi-Fi internet has you covered.

At the end of the day it's time to relax and rest in one of the three beautifully decorated bedrooms. The upstairs primary bedroom features a private bath with shower, a luxurious comfy queen bed and a romantic electric fireplace. There is even a work desk with extra USB plugs and surge-protected power for those that choose to "work from anywhere". The second upstairs bedroom with a queen bed overlooks the backyard pool and shares a bathroom with a shower with the open kitchen/living area.
