Welcome home to Sea Philosophy - where our philosophy is to welcome you here to make a lifetime of memories at our vacation home. Location is everything here at Sea Philosophy - it is just steps away from the private beach where you will enjoy your included beach service! Our recently renovated home offers spacious living areas and comfortable sleeping quarters as well as a stunning relaxation-ready backyard oasis with a private pool surrounded by chaises, and even a Tommy Bahama rolling cooler for poolside refreshments so you never have to leave poolside. One of our favorite areas for creating memories is around our huge custom kitchen island, with seating for the whole group for snacking, chatting, games, or meals shared with family and friends. This is just the beginning to our chef's kitchen with lots of space for cooking and a supply of kitchen essentials along with our stainless steel appliances ready for you to work your culinary magic! The kitchen opens up into the living room for a fully shared experience whether snacking or relaxing, everyone is together and there's space for all to gather. The main floor also houses the laundry room with large washer and dryer along with additional laundry needs such as an iron and ironing board. There's also a full bathroom with a toilet, shower, and roomy vanity to store all of your toiletries on the first floor for your convenience. The Guest Bedroom on the main floor features a King bed, adjacency to the bathroom, and a flat screen TV. Enjoy your view of the backyard oasis from here! Upstairs, you'll find the Master Bedroom and the remaining two bedrooms, each featuring a handmade barnwood King bed with the exception of our bunk room - great for the kiddos to enjoy talking, reading, and resting. The Master Bedroom features an en suite full bathroom and balcony for your enjoyment with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evenings. The second King suite is also outfitted with a King bed, comfortable upscale linens and a flat screen TV. Our bunkroom has custom built-in bunk beds on either side and features all full-size beds, allowing up to 8 to enjoy this fun room! Each bunk has it's own private reading light and there's also a TV in this room. Kids can look out over the backyard oasis each night dreaming of their next day splashing in the sparkling pool. Another bathroom on the second floor features fun decor with contemporary fixtures featuring a corrugated metal shower for that beach cottage feel. Free Fun Included Every Day!

Check in was easy. However, our key code did not work. On Saturday, we checked in on Friday, we returned from the beach to find that the code we had all memorized did not work. A new code had to be sent. The kitchen was very well equipped. However, no baking sheet could be located. There were pizza pans, but no baking sheet. In today’s time, and the popularity of air fryers, I was surprised to not find one in this kitchen.

Great vacation
The house was plenty big enough for us. Very clean. My only problem was the pool was dirty had to clean the leaves out and the first night the smoke detectors upstairs just started beeping and would not stop. Otherwise it was great would come again. Short walk to the beach.

Great location, pool, and house!
The location was perfect - walking distance to beach. The house comfortably slept the number of people promised and the backyard/pool area was great. The only thing I wish they had done was give us a heads up on things not provided, (such as paper products, beach towels, etc) so we could prepare. Otherwise, highly recommend and would stay again

We enjoyed our stay!
When we wasn’t at the beach, our kids enjoyed the backyard the most. Lots of shade and hours of fun in the pool. We also really loved the location of the beach to our rental. Kitchen had everything we needed. The location of the home to shopping was a nice as well.

Decent Stay
This property is nice and close to the beach. However, it was not overly clean and the beach items out back( wagon, floaties, beach chairs) were unkept. The property could use an internal and external deep cleaning

Amazing house and perfect location!
Our family spent the week and we had such a great time. The house is spacious and comfortable which was great since we had a few days of rain while we were there. When the sun was shining we only had a very short walk to the beautiful beach. I would totally recommend this place and we would love to stay here again someday.
