The house can accommodate up to nine people, so feel free to spread the word about the Secret Beach Retreat! Everyone will love the home's serene interior with tropical splashes of color and whimsy. The split floor plan offers plenty of privacy and space to spread out while the centrally-located living room and the screened-in lanai, which can be accessed by three rooms in the house, makes gathering easy and fun. The lanai spans the distance to the open air pool on the western side of the home. The pool deck's western exposure maximizes the hours of sun on the pool and offers nightly sunset viewings right from the lanai and pool deck. Take advantage of the home's amazing location and exclusive access and make everyday a beach day. The complimentary beach gear - towels, chairs, umbrella and wagon - will make those trips all the more enjoyable! For dining and entertainment options, walk or take the short ride to check out some of the hottest restaurants, bars and shops at the Marco Walk Plaza, which is just 0.5 mi from the house.
