Families can decide between enjoying the private pool & jacuzzi, nearby beach, or newly renovated lakeside park minutes away. Four "Beach Cruiser" bikes are included ($150/day value)!

As you step into this upscale luxury home, you feel refreshed as you gaze up toward the open-air 14 foot ceilings. Enter the living room to a plush new sofa and comfy loveseat. Past the living area, you'll find a beautifully appointed dining table with seating for 6 guests to enjoy a delicious meal.

The fully equipped kitchen offers ample granite countertop space for preparing a home-cooked meal while your travel companions join you. Enjoy the feast at the nearby dining table, while taking in the views of the pool as you dine. The chef in your group will appreciate the new stainless steel high-end appliances.

Bask in the sun when you head out onto the luxurious screened-in lanai to take a refreshing swim in the sparkling, heated pool and/or jacuzzi tub spa. The pool is electrically heated always 85 degrees. Then dry off under the warm Florida sun as you soak up the rays on the plush chaise lounge chairs. Outdoor living at its best!

When hunger strikes, cookout on the gas grill and enjoy your lunch at the nearby patio table. After a fun-filled day, retreat to one of the cozy bedrooms for a peaceful slumber. The master has a king bed, second also a King, third bedroom a queen, and the fourth has three twin beds including a roll out. The plush new living room couch is a sleeper sofa with a super-comfy memory foam mattress. The bedding is all high quality and brand new and you can expect a comfortable and peaceful night sleep. This spacious home sleeps 11 comfortably in beds.

Enjoy your favorite program on any one of four flat-screen cable TVs in the bedrooms, living room, and even out on the lanai.

No storm damage. All is back to normal.

Please note: In times that the weather presents temperatures that are unusually cold for this part of the country (below 70 degrees) the pool heaters will not work as well as expected because they rely on heat exchange to heat the pool and the reverse heat pumps are not as efficient at heating the pool water in cooler temperatures.
