ABOUT THIS SUN HAVEN HOME

As soon as you step foot in this gorgeous three-story home, you’re greeted by the beautiful yet highly comfortable open-concept living area, elegantly decorated to complement the fantastic Bid-A-Wee Beach location.

The gourmet kitchen blends with the dining area, offering a place to cook and enjoy tasty delicacies before unwinding in the entertaining living room, setting the scene for unforgettable evenings. Sunlight bursts through large backyard doors, making the home shine bright during the day, touching the stylish details and carefully chosen furniture, and enhancing the luxurious setting.

The upper patio boasts a sauna, designed to melt stress away in an instant, before soaking up the sun and enjoying a drink while marveling at the scenic views.

When you’ve had enough of the outdoors, retreat to the second-floor lounge/game room and have a fun movie night or a tournament to decide who takes the crown of the vacation pool/foosball/ping-pong champ.

There’s so much to do in this spectacular retreat. We look forward to you experiencing its complete coziness and comfort.
