The peaceful, totally private pool deck: You will find it hard to tear yourself away from relaxing in this fabulous space. Uniquely for a rental home, the spacious pool deck is totally enclosed, so you really cannot be seen as you swim or sunbathe. The pool area faces due south, so the pool and deck will be in the sun throughout the day. If you find the sun too much, then the huge covered lanai provides welcome shade, with two ceiling fans for extra cooling. You will find the pool and spill-over spa in pristine condition as they were resurfaced Oct 2011. You will be extremely comfortable relaxing on the luxury pool furniture, and you can enjoy delightful alfresco meals at the glass-topped dining table. The built-in electric BBQ is great for when you fancy a cook-out. And for the peace of mind for those of you who may have young children, there is a (removable) child security fence installed. Across the pool deck from the main house, your friends or relatives can be totally private in the self-contained guest annexe.
