Painted Porch

If you are looking for a charming, classic, comfortable home for your next beach vacation with up to 7 family members or friends - look no further than Painted Porch! It is just a short four-block stroll away from the bright, beautiful shore, and a private plunge pool sits right beside the home for refreshing fun. The pool patio is studded with palm trees for a wonderful tropical ambiance. A multi-toned paver stone patio has lounge chairs, an umbrella table along with a grill inviting you to enjoy some relaxing cookouts, drinks, and dining poolside. This lovely home also include four complimentary bicycles making exploring the outdoors a breeze!

Although this vacation home is contemporary, it is styled with Vintage Modern furnishings and features vibrant Floridian flair. Paintings, prints, and decorative art throughout display colorful shells, fish wall sculptures, a mermaid angel, a giant crab, abstracts as well as a serene forested coastal dune lake setting. Rich hardwood flooring flows throughout, and three bedrooms all have white shiplap walls for a warm cottage feel. The open living area is light and bright, with a row of windows that look out onto the columned front porch entry. A dark, handsome wraparound leather couch, an accent chair, and a salmon-colored armchair provide a comfortable, convivial seating arrangement. They face a wall-mounted Flatscreen TV for evening entertainment or that "must-see" game. The open state of the art kitchen features brushed stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, and thickly veined marble countertops. A kitchen island in the center has four raise Vintage Modern black seats with unique half backs and gleaming steel frames, which are quite striking. It provides a perfect place to gather for favorite drinks and snacks when not out by the pool.

The Master Bedroom includes a full en suite bath with a walk-in shower. It has a king-sized bed flanked by two ship lantern lights for a nautical effect and faces a wall-mounted Flatscreen TV for night time viewing pleasure. The two Guest Bedrooms share a full hall bath with a tub shower combination. One Guest Room has a lovely simple cottage styled look with a queen-sized bed, which is also flanked by ship lantern lights, and a wall-mounted Flatscreen TV. The other Guest Bedroom is great for kids since it is a colorful bunk room with its own Flatscreen TV to keep them busy—a twin and full-sized bed sleep a total of three.
