The living room, decorated in a contemporary chic style, boasts floor to ceiling windows allowing the natural sunlight to fill the gorgeous space. There are panoramic views of the infinity pool and Canvasback Pond from almost every room. The living room has a 65” mounted flat-screen TV with Sonos sound system. The plush seating, in cream and blue hues, includes a sectional sofa and several club chairs for watching a good show or indulging with a good book.

The dining room area is located just off the open living room and features elegant table seating for 10 guests. Modern luxury extends to the large, newly renovated, gourmet kitchen, which contains custom cabinetry with open faced shelves and tile backsplash as well as high-end stainless steel appliances (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Bosch) and a large island for extra counter-space to make cooking a breeze.

At the top of the stairs are the remaining three guest bedrooms with fully-renovated, en-suite bathrooms. Bedrooms three, four and five contain one king bed, three twin beds (third bed is a twin-trundle bed), and two queen beds, respectively.

    Perfect size for our family. Perfect location for the beach and location for groceries and getting on and off the island. A few items to improve on drying pad for dishes, more towels for kitchen and floor in main master needs mildew removed And we did have a pretty big water leaking from ceiling in stairwell….. was reported. Of course there was A LOT of rain a couple of nights All in all we will probably consider staying next year Thank you

    This house was everything we hoped for: Newly renovated, with clean and modern amenities throughout. Short walk to the beach. Gorgeous infinity pool and hot tub. Large kitchen and a nice grilling patio to boot. Would highly recommend! Also a shout out to Sweetgrass Properties that manages the house—they did a fantastic job.

    Entered the property to huge dead roaches and dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Appeared the property had not been properly cleaned prior to our arrival. Water shut off at 9 pm. Was resolved in a timely fashion but should have never happened. Pool was not cleaned out.

    Our family had an amazing week at 181 Glen Abbey. We loved everything about your well appointed home. The adults especially all enjoyed the comfort of King size beds for the 3 couples. The children had a big time in the pool. Your location is excellent. So nice to take the short walk along the beautiful path to the beach. Perfect!

    We very much enjoyed our stay. 181 is a beautiful home. We all lives the walk to the beach over the bridge, cooked some great meals in the well equipped kitchen, and had lots of fun in the pool. The locks on the sliding glass doors in the back of the house are broken making it impossible to lock the house up and despite following the provided directions for the hot tub to the letter we were never able to get it going.
