Back in your private backyard oasis, cool off in the inground pool, or gather under the pergola for a picnic lunch. Then enjoy evenings on the wraparound deck, sharing stories and watching the sunset. For some friendly competition, head downstairs to the large game room - perfect for family game nights or a fun hangout for the younger crowd.

Nice beach house

This house was nice for a large group. The sleeping arrangements were almost spot on for our 19 member group. I think the website should include that the third bathroom is actually the outdoor shower area.
