Panoramic views and direct oceanfront access await at this spacious Gilchrist home! Upon entering, you will immediately feel at home amidst the high ceilings and open layout. The open living room boasts ample seating, a gas fireplace, and a large smart TV. When you aren't hanging out here, everyone can enjoy watching the waves roll onto the shore from the wraparound deck, which has plenty of seating for the entire group.

When you aren't indulging in the island's culinary scene, show off your cooking skills in the chef's kitchen. Equipped with stainless steel appliances, gleaming countertops, and a colorful backsplash, your culinary ventures will be fun and effortless.

Down the hall, discover the spacious primary bedroom with private deck access, a large smart TV, and a spa-like en suite bathroom. Indulge in moments to yourself when you unwind in the soaking tub or rinse off in the walk-in shower. The additional three bedrooms are just as bright and inviting, all lined with high-quality linens and hardwood flooring. Other features you'll love about the home include its private washer/dryer, collection of board games, and internet access.

Outside, when you aren't walking on the sand looking for seashells, check out nearby Hooks Woods Bird Sanctuary, The Gulf Range, and many local shops and restaurants. As evening nears, head for the deck where the sunset views you catch sight of will stick with you forever.

Great house, services blah

The home itself and the layout is perfect for a large group. Four bedrooms and baths was very helpful and the large dining table great for games. However, we did not have any wash clothes, 2 kitchen towels, no bath towels upstairs, we pulled from other bathrooms. Make sure to bring extra trash bags. A cabinet door was not attached on lower corner cabinet, safety hazard. Dirt and bugs upstairs. Main issue was the door wouldn't lock from the inside, no securing the house. I was texting with them about it and never offered for someone to come out and look at door.
