"By far the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at.” Guests rave about our “chef’s kitchen that has everything,” “lush backyard to die for,” and “thoughtful touches everywhere” that make them “sad to leave.” Just 3 miles from the sand, this single-story retreat blends “luxury hotel comfort with the warmth of home." Nestled in an “amazing, quiet cul-de-sac” minutes from top beaches, dining, and hiking trails, it's a rare place where toddlers, grandparents and everyone in between feel instantly at home. The space Step inside and you’ll discover what past guests describe as “immaculately clean” and “beautifully decorated” spaces, thoughtfully organized so everything is easy to find. With nearly 2,000 square feet on a single story, the home combines openness with coziness, offering plenty of room for family time as well as quiet corners to relax. Kitchen & Dining Guests call it “the most fully stocked kitchen in all of the many places we have rented” and “a chef’s dream.” High-end stainless appliances, a generous island, and well-organized cabinets make cooking stress-free. The solid-wood farmhouse table expands to seat everyone for lively dinners or board-game nights, and the 13-foot cabana doors invite breezy indoor–outdoor meals. Living Spaces The airy family room is perfect for games or movies on the smart TV, while the living room’s fireplace and restored 1896 Knabe grand piano (with digital player system) create a special atmosphere for gathering. Outdoor Paradise "A backyard to die for." Step through the large cabana doors into: * Pergola-covered patio with comfortable seating for long chats and summer meals. * Fire pit lounge for sunset cocktails and stargazing. * BBQ grill for easy cookouts * Hammock for afternoon naps. * Children’s "adorable playhouse", plus toys and games that are "a huge hit" with kids. * Lush landscaping that guests call "a spot of paradise." It's the perfect setting for morning coffee, golden‑hour cocktails, and making memories. Bedrooms & Workspace * Primary Suite: Plush king bed, private bath, and what one guest described as "beds [that] were wonderfully comfortable...linens and towels felt like something out of a luxury hotel." * Additional Bedrooms: Queen and twin-over-twin trundle, all with “cozy mattresses and pillows." * Work-From-Home Ready: The front bedroom doubles as a serene office with an L-shaped desk, ergonomic chair, and garden views.
