Massive decking and stunning views. Highlights The first thing you'll notice when you arrive at this second-tier home are the uncommonly large decks! When you are at the beach, you want to spend time outdoors enjoying the view and the sound of the surf. The Porthole makes that easy! And the home is located in the quiet beachside community of Surfside, so you'll appreciate the lighter crowds and sugar white sand beaches. Plan to stroll along the quiet tree lined streets in the evening. Or, if you prefer, bring or rent bikes and explore the neighborhood that way. Convenient beach access is directly across the street between (not under!) the houses. The Space The main floor has 3 bedrooms, a living and dining area and a well-equipped kitchen with granite counter tops. There is also a TV room with a sleeper sofa that can also be used as a 5th bedroom, if you need the extra room. The laundry closet is also on this level. The bedrooms include two with King beds and one with two sets of Twin Bunks. One of the King rooms shares a Jack and Jill bath with the Twin bunk room. The other King room has a bath accessed from the hall. The spacious primary bedroom consumes the entire upstairs. It features a King bed, balcony access and a private bath with a soaking tub, separate shower and two sinks. * Snowbirds welcome!
