Just amazing
If you look at the photos of this property and think that it’s too good to be true …. They are 100% accurate. The house is simply amazing. I’m not sure who the architect was who designed it but they must have been an eccentric genius 😄
I’m hoping we can stay there again !

Amazing architect home quiet area perfect distance to beach
We would stay there again and already recommended it to friends. Beautiful setting in the trees with the bird songs and incredible views and light. The inside is perfect with a well appointed kitchen and gorgeous living room.
The distance to beach is a 10’ easy walk

Stylish and comfortable
We had a great week enjoying the many features of the property. Really appreciated how well set up the kitchen was. We had one really hot day and retreated to the deck over the garage. Would have been good to have had some dedicated outdoor furniture there. Otherwise we lacked for nothing.
