This new, 5-bedroom home, finished in May 2016, features the best decks on the island. Appreciate ocean and marsh vistas from two levels of wrap around porches that ensure plenty of sun or shade to meet your mood at any time of the day. From the back decks we have spotted deer, coyotes, and numerous bird species. From the front deck, you can see dolphins playing in the wake of shrimping boats, rabbits hopping in the dunes, and on May 6th, we even spotted a whale breaching.

The CAMA public beach access directly across the street makes getting to the beach a breeze, and a private pool, shaded at mid-day, offers a calming alternative to the ocean. Your family will have plenty of opportunities to savor the water.

The home is constructed on an inverted floor plan with four bedrooms on the first level: facing the ocean are: a six-person bunk bed room that is ideal for kids and a queen bedroom, and facing the marsh are one queen bedroom and one bedroom with two twin beds. The master bedroom, with a king bed, provides an exceptional ocean view from the second level. Also on the second level are: the kitchen, dining room and living room, all with vistas of both the ocean and marsh. This home has beds for 8 adults and 6 kids. 10 adults can also comfortably sleep with two adults per bedroom.

This home has two levels of wrap around porches to optimize vistas of the ocean and marsh. Savor vistas of the ocean from rocking chairs on the top deck or the first floor deck. Enjoy a meal and a spectacular marsh view from the top rear deck - you might spot deer, raccoons and coyotes and you will definitely see numerous birds and crabs. Unwind by the marsh on the first floor rear deck with cushioned patio furnishings and a 4 person table ideal for a board game or a snack. The front and rear decks are connected through huge side decks which provide great play areas for kids. Should pool time prove too much fun, take a break at the pool-side, shaded picnic table. It is a great spot for lunch and it's close to the charcoal grille available for renters to use. If you're visiting us in the off-season, the pool can be heated for your comfort.

This is our dream home and because we want you to feel at home here we offer toys, games, books, beach chairs, beach tent, linen and towel service and a outfitted kitchen. We hope to welcome you soon!

• Make a record of any damages to the rental upon arrival, and immediately e-mail them to the host. We especially recommend e-mails and text messages, as they usually contain time stamps that are very helpful if damages are attributed to your stay.
• Respect your neighbors. Often times, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Neighbors can usually help. Who better to ask where to launch your kayaks, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for BBQ?

• Did your group have a fantastic stay? Most vacation rental websites make it easy for guests to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to address it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make a note as part of your comments.
