The last queen bedroom shares a roomy Jack and Jill bathroom with the bunk bed bedroom (twin size bed on top, double size bed on the bottom).

There are two covered porches that can be accessed from downstairs as well, one on the front with rocking chairs to appreciate your morning coffee, and the other with a private wooded view; both have stairs to the ground floor. Under the home, you'll find all the beach gear, a gas grille, and an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand after a long day at the beach.
