The new kitchen provides plenty of storage , a full sized refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, range and microwave. There's also an outdoor grill. The large screened in porch features a vaulted ceiling, large ceiling fans, plenty of seating including rocking chair and swing bench.

Inside you'll find an open concept living space where dining area, kitchen and living room have been newly furnished with luxurious deep seat couches and lounge chairs, original hardwood floors add to the charm. Fresh linens, bath and beach towels are provided along with basic toiletries. Decor has been collected over time and obtained from local artists for a unique old Florida style.

We loved this beautiful home. It was perfect in every way from the screened in front porch to the private oasis heated pool in the backyard. Communication with the host was excellent. The location is perfect for quick access to the beach and all the restaurants and shops on the north end of the island.
