About this property
Stylish, Sunny, Steps to the Sand
VRC22-000010
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.

“Very clean & comfortable. Close to beach access. Chairs & umbrella provided.” – Wendy, March 2024
For Remote Workers & Long-Stay Guests
With reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, a full kitchen, and a peaceful setting just blocks from Publix, cafes, and the free island trolley, this space is ideal for digital nomads or snowbirds. Stay productive, then reward yourself with sunset walks and ocean dips.

For Families & Pet Travelers
A pullout sleeper sofa accommodates two more guests comfortably, and small, well-behaved pets are welcome. Pack light—beach chairs, umbrella, and laundry access are all on-site. You’ll be close to kid-friendly eateries, beach toy shops, and dolphin-watching tours.
