Three bedrooms include a magnificent master suite with a white wall of French doors that can open to allow the sea breezes in. Enjoy the balcony with a great view of the beach and the Gulf. On a clear day, you can even see Cat Island. Bring your binoculars, dolphins periodically swim by.

The bathroom in the master bedroom is very large with lots of tile. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a bathroom again with tiled walls and floors. Bedroom 3 at the North side of the house has French doors that open. All bedrooms have lots of windows.

Our living floor is well laid out, with plenty of space for guests to sit and watch a game on the flat-screen TV or sit at either the large dining room table or the kitchen breakfast table and chat. As an alternative to staying inside, guests may open the French doors in the living room and go to the large patio where chairs and tables are available.

You can’t beat the view of the beach from either floor or even outside. Spend the day on the beach, come back and have a beverage on the patio, get ready, and go to one of the 12 casinos in the area for a meal and entertainment.

The living level contains a fully stocked kitchen (implements, dishes, etc. no food). Feel free to cook meals and save a few dollars to buy bait for fishing. The kitchen comes with coffee service and appliances including a stove, microwave, and refrigerator with water and ice dispenser.
