It’s a cliché, but this coastal home is as well-appointed as they come. There’s a heated jacuzzi, covered outdoor kitchen, direct access to the ocean (canoe and stand-up paddle boards included), bicycles, and a gas barbecue. It faces the Aoelian Islands, and sits on a stretch of sand known for its lack of foot traffic. If ever there were an ideal vacation home, this is it.
