'Sands to Reason' at the Sea Gypsy. Electric fireplace! Sleeps 5 with pool

Unit 325 is a fireplace suite we've nicknamed “Sands to Reason.”

It is one of the few condos in our rental pool that can sleep 5 vacationers. There's a queen in the bedroom, a queen in the living area plus a love seat that converts into a twin bed, which we recommend for kids. The two sleeping areas are separated by communicating doors, and there's bathrooms in both spaces.

Sands to Reason has a 55-inch TV in the living room, right above the large electric fireplace that gives the unit a soft glow at night. It's a very cozy condo with a nice color scheme — ever heard of Twilight Grey? — and a lot of personal touches from the owner.

There's a full kitchen with newly installed pendant lighting. We provide all the cookware and gadgets you need for the Gordon Ramsey in your party — everything except the attitude.

This condo is near the south end of the building, giving you not only a great view of the ocean, but also the famous D River. How many properties are both beachfront and riverfront? The D River is special as the shortest river in the world. It runs adjacent to the Sea Gypsy from Devil's Lake into the Pacific. In the summers you can play in the shin-deep waters, and in the winter you can watch salmon migrating upstream. A bald eagle has been spotted stalking the fish each of the past four years.

The Sea Gypsy's proximity to the beach cannot be understated. There are three access points in front of this condo that are just a few steps to the sand. Hit the beach and take a 10-minute walk to the north to find natural tide pools with all kinds of surprises.

Guests staying in No. 325 Sands to Reason have access to the Sea Gypsy's indoor saltwater swimming pool, plus a sauna. If you feel like getting out of 325's kitchen, there are two gas barbecues on site where you can do some outdoor grilling.
