Upon arrival, the comfortable sitting and dining area greets guests with room for the whole group to gather, whether around the fireplace or at the large dining table. Expanding the space, the cathedral ceiling in the sitting area adds to the airy atmosphere, along with the walls of windows drawing in ample natural light. Past the dining table, double French doors open up to the large screened patio overlooking the first-rate outdoor living space.
As you settle, the kitchen quickly unfolds as the heart of a rental home. Here, luxurious and spacious design create an exquisite ambiance complete with top-notch appliances. The oversized island with seating for five, expansive counter and cabinet space, wet bar and refreshing design choices make this an area the group will never want to leave.

Outside, the pool, fire pit, and grilling area is so grand that you may never want to leave these grounds. The completely custom heated gunite saltwater pool adjoins with a hot tub and is enclosed by the conservation land for a retreat-like experience. Around the pool sit multiple lounge chairs and a dining table, and a spacious outdoor shower is tucked away to the side. For those late summer nights, the patio space and the gas fire pit are perfect areas to gather and sit back in the colorful array of Adirondack chairs.
Steps away, the screen porch is a secluded area to unwind away from the sun for quiet conversation around the table or curled up on the couch. With the selection of so many areas to relax, the group can disperse and enjoy smaller, intimate moments.
