Tucked into a quiet street and with your beach access across the street, Made in the Shade A is a one-bedroom retreat with timeless island charm and every modern comfort. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, on a solo recharge, bringing your pup for a beachside adventure, or planning a friends' getaway with the neighboring unit, this cheerful coastal duplex adapts to your pace, your plans, and your people.

For Couples & Solo Travelers

Step into a freshly updated space where comfort meets style—crisp interiors, coastal decor, and a king-sized bed that invites deep rest. Pour your morning coffee and relax on the private patio before wandering down a shaded path to the white-sand beach. Evenings bring gentle sea breezes, gas-grilled dinners, and the sweet hush of island nights.
