Windows on the Sea ★ Modern Pool & Beach Retreat ★ 100 ft to Beach ★ 2 Masters
Windows on the Sea is the kind of beach house families hope to find but rarely do: just 100 feet from the ocean, with your own private pool and hot tub overlooking the water. Days flow easily between the beach and the pool, bikes and barefoot walks around the island, and sunset dinners on the deck while the kids play nearby. Thoughtfully designed and fully stocked with bikes, beach gear, games, and everything families need, the house makes it easy to settle in, slow down, and enjoy the kind of beach week everyone remembers long after it ends.
No cars. No crowds. Just bikes, beach days, and room to truly unwind.
Whether you're traveling with another family, bringing grandparents, or gathering everyone for a summer week by the sea, the house was created so every detail is already handled, leaving you free to enjoy the moments that matter most.

THE SPACE
Inside, the home is bright, airy, and designed for gathering.
The open great room features soaring ceilings, comfortable seating, Sonos speakers throughout the house, and large glass doors that open onto the deck. Just off the main living space, the top-floor primary suite offers a quiet retreat with ocean views — perfect for early mornings or winding down at the end of the day.
From morning coffee to evening cocktails, the deck quickly becomes everyone’s favorite place to be.
The kitchen is built for real cooking, not just vacation basics. With a large refrigerator/freezer, induction range, convection oven, and every small appliance you might need, it’s easy to host dinners for your group or flip pancakes before a beach day.
Outside, the private pool and hot tub sit above the sand with ocean peeks — the perfect place to relax while the kids swim. The wet bar, ice maker, and grill make outdoor dinners effortless.
Downstairs, the home offers a quieter retreat with additional bedrooms and a second primary suite — ideal for grandparents, another family, or anyone looking for a bit more privacy. The layout was intentionally designed to give everyone space to unwind, while still feeling connected throughout the home.

────A HOME MADE FOR FAMILY MEMORIES────
Windows on the Sea FI isn’t just a place to stay: it’s a place where beach mornings turn into pool afternoons, where kids go to bed tired and happy, and where families reconnect in the easiest way possible.
If this sounds like the kind of week you’re dreaming about, we’d love to host you.
