Totally unlike any other, this beautiful oceanfront property offers an extensive list of features, not the least of which is the breathtaking views! Imagine stepping out the front door and submerging into lush landscaping adorned with the island's exotic foliage! And it is not uncommon to see humming birds whizzing about looking for their next meal or to encounter the darling, tiny island lizards darting in and out of their hiding spaces! Once you've emerged from the enchanting, white iron gates, you'll sink your toes into the cool soft sand and find yourself standing in paradise. With the beach's tallest palm tree right in front of the house, you'll truly be at a West Bay landmark! At your disposal, you'll have floating chairs, rafts (and even a floating bar/cooler) to bob about in the ocean.....and with an average temperature of 80 degrees, it will be hard to resist. Also available for your use are beach loungers, sporty kayaks, horse shoes, volleyball and more! Now, not to be out done by the beauty outdoors, the home's interior is generously appointed for both luxury and fun! With a large open floor plan, this 2000 sqft 4 yr old home features dramatic vaulted ceilings and tile flooring throughout, contemporary decor and spacious room sizes. The multitude of ceiling fans are enough to keep most guests comfortable, but for you die-hard creatures of comfort, we do offer A/C at an additional charge.
