Constructed for Gathering, Inside & Out

The modernized kitchen is well outfitted for year-round cooking, while the open great room and dining area provide plenty of space for meals and conversations. Each of the nine Intelligent TVs—one in every bedroom, plus the great room and rec room—makes it simple to wind down after the day's adventures. Guests also note the attention to detail: puzzles, games, and books for all ages, a second full-size refrigerator and freezer in the laundry room, and clean, well-maintained furnishings that compliment a beachy escape.

Outdoors, the fun continues with a private pool, hot tub, and plenty of room for calming in the sun. A sound system sets the mood, while the basketball hoop, volleyball setup, and outdoor games add energy to afternoons by the pool. Multiple decks make it simple to appreciate coffee in the morning, sunset breezes in the evening, or a late-nighttime chat under the stars. At Reality Check, everything is in place for a vacation that sets the bar for years to come!
