Welcome to the Salty Seahorse! Perfectly located less than half a mile to the beach, this welcoming Jamaica Beach retreat offers two beautifully furnished bedrooms, a spacious bright and open living room and kitchen, and a full bathroom with large floor to ceiling tiled shower. Enjoy the expansive deck for grilling and sun-bathing, the large downstairs recreational room with a half bath, and the outdoor entertaining and bar area next to the 32ft X 16ft X 4.5ft deep pool! Pool not heated.
You will have everything you need in this open concept coastal home! Fully equipped kitchen with a table that comfortably seats six, a Kuerig Duo coffee maker (pods and ground), 65" 4K TV in the living room with plenty of seating, 50" 4K TV in the master bedroom and full-size washer and dryer.
For a comfortable stay, maximum five adults. Maximum number of guests is eight with children.
The indoor downstairs recreational room and outdoor entertaining space add SO much to this amazing home! Rinse off in the enclosed hot water outdoor shower after a day at the beach. Cool off in the large private pool during a hot day! Enjoy a game of foosball or darts in the air-conditioned room. Enjoy cocktails at the outdoor fire pit table. The options are endless!
Note that the downstairs is not connected to the upstairs so is not suitable for unattended young children to stay.
Guests must be at least 25 years old to book, able to provide government issued photo ID, and have completed the verification process on Airbnb.
The unheated private pool is typically available (warm enough to swim in) between April and September (exact dates based on weather). Note that the community pool does not open until Memorial Day weekend and closes after Labor Day weekend.
Fully house trained adult dogs are allowed to a max of two and max 60 lbs each. $40 fee per dog per booking - $70 for two dogs. I ask that pets stay off all furniture and are cleaned up after in the yard (doggie bags provided!). Note the property is fully fenced.
Please review the pictures and the size of the single convertible chair beds as they may not be preferred for all adults.
