The heated and cooled Florida room features a daybed, two seating/lounge areas, a dining area with a passthrough to the kitchen, and a surfboard bar. The custom built wood sliding doors leading in to the house from the Florida room close to create privacy or a separate sleeping area.

The kitchen has everything you need to cook up your catch of the day, make a gourmet meal, or whip up a batch of frozen cocktails.
The dining area has a round vintage table that seats 6 in swiveling pub chairs, perfect for dinner or family game night. The additional dining areas at the kitchen island and in the Florida room allow for seating for your entire group.

Notes
Hurricane & Tropical Storm Policy
Due to the house being ground level we reserve the right to cancel a reservation if there is a hurricane or tropical storm forecast to hit the area. We are susceptible to flooding and must have time to prepare the house in case of a storm surge. Please consider getting travelers insurance especially if you are traveling during hurricane season.
