Highlights
There really is nothing like beachfront! No packing up the car and searching for a parking space and the convenience of being able to return to the house to replenish supplies or just take a break from the sun just cannot be beat. And of course, access to a pool is also a must. Turtle Dunes is exactly what you are looking for! And you'll love the private beach and the lighter crowds in the exclusive, gated community of the Dunes. And, if that wasn't enough, the adults in the group will appreciate that 4 of the bedrooms are equipped with King sized beds. And did we mention the home also has an elevator*?
Lovingly updated and restored, this home is a showstopper! Simply put, it just doesn't get any better than this. The spectacular views are reason enough to stay here but the interior of the home has been given a total face lift. Because every day isn't a beach day, you'll love the access to a community pools and hot tub.
The Space
Ample seating on the spacious deck allows everyone to take in those spectacular sunsets or just sit and watch and listen to the sound of the waves. An oversized dining table is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the awesome view so even if you dine indoors, you'll still be "on the beach". This beach front home has five bedrooms and five and half baths. Each bedroom has its own private bath. The open common area features a living room with hide a bed, a dining table that seats 14, with room for 4 more at the breakfast bar and a well-equipped kitchen. You will be able to prepare whatever feast strikes your fancy without leaving the beach.
Two of the five bedrooms are on the main level, and both have King beds. Upstairs, are 2 bedrooms with King beds and balcony access, a second sitting area with a futon and balcony access and a bunk room with one set of Full over Full bunks and one set of Twin over Twin bunks. In all, Turtle Dunes will comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests.
New additions include electric fireplaces in the master bedroom and living room!
