Within, an artfully designed main level capitalizes on the vistas. The gourmet kitchen, adorned with quartz countertops and state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, beckons culinary enthusiasts. Whether you're preparing a fresh catch or a sumptuous lobster feast, the expansive island seating and dining table ensure memorable gatherings. The adjoining great room, with its lofty vaulted ceilings, is anchored by an imposing two-story brick fireplace. Every glance out of the oversized windows offers breathtaking water views, with the screened porch serving as the perfect sunset-watching spot. Space and luxury echo throughout this haven. The first-floor master suite is the epitome of comfort, boasting a king-sized bed and an en suite office space. Mornings here are magical: imagine waking up to a panorama of the water, brewing your favorite coffee, and plotting the day's adventures from a deckside rocking chair. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms promise restful slumbers, with one offering an unparalleled aquatic outlook. For those seeking more leisurely indoor pursuits, the "kids' den" and lower-level entertainment spaces provide ample opportunities for relaxation and play. Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac, this home melds modern conveniences with nature's splendors. Stay connected with high-speed Wi-Fi or unplug and embrace the outdoors with the provided kayak and stand-up paddleboard.

Reviews

Brandon

An amazing house! Family of five and was perfect for us - with extra room to spare! House/property was beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed. Great amenities including garage space for our bikes, kayak access/usage, ping pong, foosball table - we used it all! Being on the cove is a great setting for sunrises and sunsets, especially with the screened-in porch. Terrific little neighborhood area with little traffic. We hope to return next year! Also, great service! No hiccups or snags in arrival/departure. A great experience again with them (second time users)!
