The ground level also provides a second full size refrigerator and microwave, along with a washer and dryer.

Under the home, an enclosed shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing the sand off before heading inside a breeze, and you’ll also find protected storage space for your beach equipment. Gaze at the horizon as you sway in the porch swing located in this shady space, which also provides a charcoal grille and picnic table for cooking out and additional seating for calming. Above, the open deck offers plenty of space to soak in the sun’s rays, and the forward crow’s nest with constructed-in bench seating is the ideal spot to keep an eye on the kids while staying out of the sand. Or getaway to the generous screened porch, kick back in an Adirondack chair and take a nap in the fresh sea air instead.
