Things that inspire relaxation come in many forms. It could be watching the sun rise or set over the ocean… cloudscapes mirrored in the reflection of a serene lake… it could be listening to nature beginning to stir at first light… or the sound of ocean waves lapping upon the shore... even taking a leisurely stroll through a beautiful park-like setting… Imagine being able to experience all these forms of relaxation in one location!
Our second floor, +1400 SF villa in the Richmond Park community of Kingston Plantation has plenty of space for a large family or even a couple small families looking to share vacation accommodations. The condo has it's own private entrance just a few steps up from the front sidewalk. It overlooks Arrowhead Lake, the largest body of freshwater in the 145-acre resort-style community. You will enjoy a scenic walk across the footbridge to use the Richmond Park pool and beach accesses are a very short drive to the east side of the Plantation behind the high-rises. We are conveniently located right across the street from “The Landing” – Kingston’s spa and fitness center that opened in May 2017.
The floorplan, already appearing open and airy with the vaulted ceilings, appears even more open concept after removing the overhead cabinets that once closed off the kitchen from the living/dining area. Unique colored glass pendant lighting fixtures, subway tile backsplash, and beaming white beadboard cabinetry complement the stunning granite countertops. The stainless steel appliances further enhance the calm, cool blue-gray color scheme. We have stocked the kitchen with useful housewares and small appliances to make meal preparation away from home easier. Our dining set accommodates six; there is a setting for two inside the kitchen, as well as a small table and two chairs on the deck just off the living room.
The living room is furnished with a comfortable sofa and love seat, a large wall-mounted flat screen TV and has an amazing view of the lake. Step out onto the deck and immerse yourself in the natural beauty that surrounds you! Take your morning coffee or evening wine to enjoy while you’re out there. After you’ve taken in all the scenery you can for a while, come back inside and enjoy free cable TV with HBO and WiFi daily! The fireplace adds to a cozy vibe, but please note that it is for aesthetics only (sorry).
The master bedroom has a king bed, flat screen TV, plenty of dresser space, and a small writing desk that sits below the window with a view of the lake. The master bath has a double-sink vanity with white beadboard cabinets, dressed with a gorgeous granite countertop and framed mirrors.
Both guest bedrooms are each furnished with a queen bed AND a day bed, two convenient night stands, a sizable dresser and a flat screen TV. The two guest bathrooms each have a brand new single-sink vanity with white beadboard cabinets and a framed mirror.
There is a full-size washer and dryer set inside our condo for our guests to use. An iron and ironing board are also available, as well as a hairdryer in each bathroom.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT OUR VRBO GUESTS NEED TO KNOW: Our guests have access to THREE swimming pools – the Richmond Park community pool (located behind the Laurel Court lodge building), the Beach Club Pool (located oceanside between the North and South Hampton high-rises) and the Windermere By The Sea community pool (located across the street from the Brighton high-rise). Our condo is a non-smoking and pet-free environment. Any pets you may see around the Plantation belong to homeowners and are registered with their owners association. You will also have access to the 1/2-mile wide stretch of beach that is to be enjoyed by all Kingston Plantation homeowners and guests alike!!
Unfortunately, VRBO guests do not have access to the Embassy Suites and Hilton water amenities (pools/pool decks, Splash! Waterpark or the Lazy River). These are separately maintained by the Embassy Suites'/Hilton rental programs and are exclusive to their rental guests. However, you may patronize their restaurants and poolside bars and cafes.
