About The Cove
Kids crash into the bunkroom. Somebody fires up the grill. The hot tub's already full. This is what The Cove was built for. A fun place for the entire family to feel at home.
The Spaces
The Cove and Beach Nook are two distinct spaces connected by an interior door - each with it own personality.
The Cove is the anchor — the coastal modern main house designed for gathering. Three king bedrooms and a bunkroom stacked with 6 twins give families real flexibility.
This is where everyone ends up: movie night in the private theater room with a 120" projector screen, time spent in the shared game room with ping pong and basketball, and early mornings in the fully equipped shared gym before the house wakes up. 3 full bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and a dining table big enough to seat the entire property. Smart TVs, blackout curtains, and sound machines in every bedroom and the living rooms.
The Beach Nook is the quiet escape — a private one-bedroom apartment lockout attached to The Cove Main House with a queen bedroom, its own kitchen, living and dining space, and a warm tropical coastal feel. Perfect for grandparents or a couple who wants to be close to the action but not in the middle of it. There is a separate exterior entrance to The Beach Nook as well as a lockout door attached to the main house. The interior access door is double-side coded for privacy and security.
Every bedroom has a sound machine and blackout curtains — because nobody's on vacation if they're not sleeping well.

Whether it's a family reunion, a friends' weekend, or just getting everyone under one roof — The Cove has the space, the privacy, and the excuse to stay an extra night.
ABOUT THE POOL
Up front, because you'd rather know now: a pool is permitted and going in, and it is not finished. It will not be available during your stay unless we tell you otherwise. If the timing matters to you, message us before you book and we'll tell you exactly where construction stands for your dates. Guests should expect daytime construction activity, equipment, and noise, generally from the morning until approximately 4–5 PM.
