The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for easy meal preparation, including an oven, stovetop, microwave, and essential cooking supplies.

The master suite is a retreat in itself, spanning split levels for added privacy. Downstairs, enjoy a sitting area with large windows that invite in natural light and scenic island views. Head up to the king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom, creating an intimate, peaceful space to unwind.

The main living area connects to the upper floor, where three additional bedrooms await. These bedrooms offer comfortable sleeping arrangements and share easy access to the laundry and a family bathroom, ensuring convenience for the whole group.

Gather around the open fireplace under the stars or make the most of the BBQ facilities for a meal with family and friends. With stunning coastal views as your backdrop, this outdoor space is ideal for creating lasting memories.
