Parents will love this spacious living areas inside (the living room features 2 separate seating areas that are bright and airy thanks to the wall of windows, but fitted with shades to enjoy a movie night on the plush couches) as well as the multiple balconies on each level of the house - perfect for your morning coffee.

Style Notes
Supersized beach hut. Bright, light, modern and sophisticated, this home blends classic coastal influences with more elegant styling, to create a luxurious take on the traditional beach hut hangout. Breezy beachy artwork references the island-style surroundings, while neutral colors with accents of blue complement the sea-side location. We love the rustic textures and natural wooden materials used throughout, as well as the cute blue painted porch with cozy egg-shaped outdoor sofas and the super large breakfast bar.
