Inside Turquoise Shells: Comfort, Style & Family Fun

Kick back after a day at the beach on a comfy beachy blue sofa and accent chair in the open-concept living area. The large smart TV is perfect for family movie nights, and a cabinet filled with board games means fun is always within reach.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook and dine in, with a breakfast bar and dining space perfect for gathering.

Each of the three bedrooms features beachy decor, blackout curtains, smart TVs, and high-quality bedding. The spacious primary suite includes a luxurious en-suite bath with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Two queen bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a half bath adds extra convenience.
