About this property
7 Dinghy-Enjoy this OCEANFRONT home with stunning views and a private pool.
Allow yourself to be mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the gentle lapping waves of the Atlantic Ocean just over the dunes. Sleeping ten, Dinghy Beach Cottage is a true gem. Enjoy this three bedroom home, each with en suite bath (master with a king bed, two guest rooms each with a queen bed), a loft with a bunk bed and twin bed for the children, a separate hall bath with shower/tub combination, and a large family room overlooking the sparkling pool. Enjoy the spacious bright and open kitchen with an eat-in nook and under-counter seating, an enormous elevated deck with a gazebo, outdoor grill, and spacious dining area all serve to bring the inside out and the outside in. An outdoor shower is just off the beach path and there is a single-bay carport. The private footpath leading from the pool to the surf allows for easy, breezy jaunts to and from the beach---with a bird’s-eye view to keep tabs on comings and goings from the kitchen, family room, loft, deck, and pool. The second and third bedrooms have a separate sitting room for relaxing, watching a good movie, or listening to the waves and looking at the stars at night. A spiral staircase leads to the oceanfront loft, perfect for the children to play or bunk for the night. The family can enjoy meals together inside or outside by the pool. Create lasting memories at Dinghy Beach Cottage in Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. Partake in all of the resort’s amenities, including miles of sun-kissed white-sand Atlantic Ocean beaches, three championship golf courses, a world-famous tennis facility, kayaking, miles of paved leisure trails that connect into the Island-wide trail system, Shelter Cove--across from the entrance to Palmetto Dunes—shopping, dining, marina, nightly entertainment (summer), Shelter Cove Mall, parasailing, fishing…and much more!
