You will also see a cubby full of beach towels and a few beach sheets (please wash and replace before you leave). UPSTAIRS: Walk up the stairs to find our beautifully decorated large Master bedroom complete w/a gorgeous white ship lap accent wall and bedside chandeliers. Once you enter this room you will realize this isn't your average beach rental! We wanted to create a peaceful retreat for mom & dad so this room has ROMANCE written all over it! Mermaids and starfish grace almost every wall and the colors are soothing sea greens, grays, and clean white. The Master also has a private balcony furnished w/two outdoor chairs and accent table. This is our favorite place to drink our morning coffee in the springtime and to enjoy the afternoon sunshine in the winter months! This balcony also overlooks the pool and has a great view of the lagoon.
