The garage includes a double BOB stroller, puddle jumpers, life jackets, a portable cooler, tons of pool and beach toys and rafts, skim boards, boogie boards, a paddle board, and a heavy duty huge wagon to take everything you need with ease to and from the beach, which is just steps away!
Last but not least, this amazing home would not be complete without the private heated pool and spa. The pool patio includes an outdoor fridge so you can easily grab your favorite drinks while you lounge by the pool or play ping pong or backgammon. Colored LED lights will make your evening sparkle. Relax in the jetted hot tub/spa, grill a delicious meal or enjoy a game of ping pong in the covered lounge area. There is also an outdoor TV and bar for your entertainment.
Best of all is the gorgeous turquoise waters of the Gulf right outside your door. Simply cross the street and you are there, on the wide white sand beach, Grains of Sand is pure paradise.
