Outside, the front porch provides both covered and shaded areas.

You can even catch some rays on the poolside loungers as the kids cool down in the pool without any waves to contend with. Underneath the home, an additional picnic table, rocking chairs and even a porch swing offer an additional shady respite. An enclosed outdoor shower with hot and cold water makes rinsing sand off after a trip to the beach painless, and if you prefer to prepare out, a charcoal grille is supplied.
