Even the beds inside this home are elevated, giving you a unique sensation that you are indeed above it all!

Attention to every guest's comfort is a key advantage of this home, with a friendly layout providing disabled access both inside and out. The oversized saltwater pool is also sure to please children with its beach-like entrance, as are the cubbyhole bunk beds - the perfect place for little guests to curl up and drift away after another day of adventure. Not far away is sandy Golden Beach, an ideal spot for families with children. As the sun sets, gather in the lovely shaded dining area, turn on the chandelier and raise a toast to an unforgettable getaway.
