OUTDOORS BUILT TO ENTERTAIN
The expansive, private backyard is landscaped with palm trees and anchored by a large grotto style swimming pool complete with misters! Lounge in the shade of the covered patio with your favorite team playing on the patio tv, catch some rays on the pool loungers, or set the vibe by the Koi pond at the outdoor living room with the fire table and peaceful waterfall sounds. In the colder months, take a dip in the brand new, state of the art hot tub. Host a barbecue with the fully equipped gourmet grill (stocked with mini fridge, ice machine, and blender) and outdoor eating area for 10 or mix-up some cocktails for all-day happy hour at the custom grotto bar (also stocked with mini fridge, ice machine, and blender). Too keep you cool on those summer days we've got you taken care of with a powerful outdoor misting system that fully encapsulates the covered patio, outdoor eating area, and outdoor living room! If you prefer, connect via Bluetooth to our speaker system, outfitted both in the home and various locations around the backyard. While the grill sizzles, challenge friends and family to a few rounds of cornhole or ladder ball on the lawn. Lamp posts keep the areas warmly lighted and an outdoor fireplace and firepit complete your evening ambiance.
*Please note: the pool waterfall is not currently operational. The pool is not heated.
