The ground level has plenty of parking space for the whole family and room for 1 vehicle to park under the house. Outside, a huge 12'x26' private pool is where you'll spend the day splashing around in the sun. Afterward, take a dip in the bubbly hot tub to relax your muscles. Inside, you can play a round of billiards in the rec room while you watch the big game or listen to music.

A split staircase leads up to the front porch on the middle level where you can access the main entrance to the home. For a more laid-back atmosphere, chill out in the charming den featuring an entertainment center and a wet bar that lets you truly vacation “Margaritaville”-style. You'll love taking your beverage out on the covered deck that overlooks the pool to relax in a colorful Adirondack chair. At the end of the day, curl up with your favorite beach novel in the Master King Suite w/ Full Bathroom. Another Full Hall Bathroom featuring a Whirlpool tub and shower combo is shared by a second Bedroom with a Pyramid Bunk w/ Trundle Bed and another Queen Bedroom. A convenient laundry room completes this level. Upstairs, the top level is a large open-style floorplan featuring a living area, kitchen, and dining area.
