Each of the eight bedrooms offers privacy and comfort, with king-sized accommodations and beautifully appointed ensuite bathrooms featuring distinctive tile selections, gold fixtures, and walk-in showers. A thoughtfully designed bunk room includes built-in beds with individual lighting and storage, making it a perfect retreat for younger guests. Two expansive primary suites provide a true escape, complete with soaking tubs, dual vanities, and private balconies overlooking the Gulf and pool. An additional full bath serves the main living level.
Outdoor living is at the heart of the property, with multiple covered balconies designed for relaxation. The private ModPools container pool and spa feature a clear side viewing window and a removable divider for customizable heating. The pool deck offers ample space for lounging and gathering, along with a fire pit, outdoor dining area, built-in gas grill, and outdoor shower.
