Upstairs, the luxurious king master suite features a spa-like bath with a frameless glass shower and dual vanity, while a large bunk room provides plenty of space for guests. Step outside onto the elevated rear deck and take in the inviting private pool, an ideal spot for lounging and grilling in the Florida sunshine.
The separate carriage house offers even more flexibility with two additional bedroomsone on each flooreach with its own en suite bath. The downstairs unit includes a second laundry, while the upstairs unit boasts a kitchenette, perfect for a quick breakfast before heading to the beach.
