This beachside community has a 2 swimming pools, pickleball/tennis courts, playground, stocked fishing ponds, paved roads, streetlights and 4 beach accesses.

A few stairs are all that separates you and the front door to Golden Retreat which allows easy access for everyone in your group. Once inside you will be greeted with style and comfort. The coastal casual decor is welcoming and the layout allows everyone to have their own space while still being together. The open floor plan of the living, dining and kitchen areas are perfect for any size group. In the living room you will find a comfortable sleeper sofa, chair, fireplace and 60 wall mounted flat screen TV. The beautiful round dining room table and kitchen bar seating give plenty of eating spots and the fully stocked kitchen, featuring stainless steel appliances, is perfect for cooking. The grill master of the group will love cooking on the large gas grill on the wrap around screen porch. Also on the first level is the laundry room, a full bath and one of the three bedrooms. The main level bedroom is open and airy and has access to the porch perfect for those quiet early mornings. This room has a beautiful queen bed with custom headboard, ample storage space and flat screen television that will make you feel like you are in your own private paradise.

As you follow the stairs to the second floor you will find the remaining two bedrooms. The first bedroom has two twin beds, a flat screen TV, seating area, en-suite bathroom and private access to the screen porch and spiral staircase to the first level. The primary bedroom is a vacationers dream with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, seating area and walk out access to upper-level screen porch. When you want to enjoy the outdoors without leaving the second floor just step out and enjoy the seating area and unique floating bed which is perfect for those late afternoon cat naps!

    We had a wonderful stay! Stefanie was the best host. She was super responsive. We loved the house, especially, the screened porches! The house was clean upon arrival. We were about a 5 min walk to the beach. There was a cart to make it easy to pack everything and take in one load. The highlight of our trip, was making a beach campfire. I highly recommend this house and host. We are already planning next year's trip!

    The cottage is very spacious and clean. We loved all the outdoor space and fountain in the lake behind the house. Very easy walk to the beach access. We loved how close we were to the state park. We had great weather our entire stay!

    This was our second year staying here. It is cozy, well decorated, and a perfect size for a dec my size family. We had some stress due to planning a wedding at the beach during a hurricane but the house was perfect.

    We all had a great time. Plenty of space to spread out and relax Nice to have an entire house to yourself without any shared walls.

    Plenty of space for a family of 6 adults plus dogs. It was a great location with a short walk to the beach and pool without being right in the middle of everything. Loved the porch space, clean, well-stocked, good AC. Our only issue was with slow WiFi at times. A couple of the people in our group had to do some remote work and online meetings, and the WiFi was sometimes unreliable for that. Besides that, we had a great week and would stay again!
