Island Gold: Porch Suppers & Beach Days

Summary:
Set the porch table for six and bring dinner outside. Island Gold’s private screened porch gives your beach stay its own place to gather, with a shared waterfall pool and game lounge downstairs.

This upstairs apartment sleeps six in king and queen bedrooms plus a living-room queen Murphy bed. Enjoy two bathrooms, a front balcony, an equipped kitchen, free shared laundry and beach gear. Beach access is one block away; stairs are required.

The Space:
Some of the best parts of a beach week happen around a table. At Island Gold, the private screened porch has an outdoor dining table for six, so breakfast can stretch into conversation and dinner can move outside after a day on the sand.

The front balcony offers a second outdoor place to sit, with area views and morning sunshine. Inside, the kitchen, dining and living spaces connect the group between outings. King and queen bedrooms plus a living-room queen Murphy bed accommodate up to six guests.

Beach Access #23 is one block away. Downstairs, the shared heated waterfall pool and game lounge give you another way to spend an afternoon when you want to stay close to home.

KITCHEN & LIVING
The equipped kitchen has appliances, dishes, cookware, preparation space and counter-height seating. Keep the cook company at the counter, eat at the indoor table for six or carry dinner onto the screened porch.

The living area has comfortable seating and a Smart TV for a film after your beach outing. Wi-Fi and air conditioning are available.

PORCH SUPPERS & POOL BREAKS
The screened porch is private to your apartment, with conversation seating and a second dining table for six. Your front balcony has seating and views of the quiet area.

The heated pool, waterfall, loungers and outdoor dining spaces are shared with other building guests. Take the spiral staircase to the pool or use the main entrance stairs and side gate. A shared propane grill is available through that gate.

COMMUNITY GAMES & BEACH EXTRAS
The lower-level shared lounge has foosball, ping-pong, darts, ring toss and seating between games. Two free community washing machines and dryers are in the garage area, along with shared beach chairs, coolers and wagons. Two driveway parking spaces are provided.

Pack for the one-block beach walk, pause by the pool and bring everyone back to your own porch table when dinner is ready.
