Your Home Base for Beach Days
When you enter Pocket Full of Shells, you’re welcomed by a bright and airy living area perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The cozy living room features plush couches and chairs, so everyone can settle in comfortably for movie nights, afternoon naps, or swapping favorite vacation stories. Calming coastal colors and tasteful seaside accents bring the vacation vibe indoors, so you never forget you’re at the beach—even when kicking back inside.
Light-colored hardwood floors flow seamlessly into the connected kitchen, where stunning design meets luxury appliances. Soft light blue cabinetry paired with gold accents gives the space a fresh, coastal elegance, while stainless steel appliances make mealtime easy. A reverse osmosis system is installed at the kitchen sink, providing crisp, purified drinking water from the tap. Two barstools at the kitchen counter offer a prime spot to chat with the chef of the day, whether they’re searing fresh shrimp or stacking sandwiches for a beach picnic.
Just beyond the kitchen, a large dining table anchors the space. Seating eight comfortably, it’s the place everyone gravitates to for family-style meals, late-night card games, or mapping out the next day’s adventures. From the main living area, step onto the furnished decks, where the indoors and outdoors flow together. Stretch out on a lounge chair in the sunshine, enjoy an afternoon snack, or settle in for a good beach read. The decks invite you to slow down and soak up every moment.
And when the sun goes down, the fun isn’t over, head downstairs to the game room. Turn on some music, grab a paddle for a ping-pong match, or test your aim at the electric dart board. This is the space everyone will want to end the night in—a place for friendly competition, family laughs, and the kind of evenings that turn into your favorite vacation memories.
