FEATURES:
DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
Designed to host 7–9 guests, the open living area serves as the central spot for the family to gather. Comfortable seating and flat-screen TVs in every room make it easy to unwind after a day in the sun. The layout flows from the kitchen directly to the balcony, keeping the ocean in sight, while the sofa converts into a queen sleeper for extra space.
The master suite features a king bed, direct balcony access, and a private bathroom with a double vanity. Guest accommodations are just as functional, with a second bedroom offering both a queen and full bed, plus a third bedroom with bunk beds that the kids will enjoy.
