The pool and spa were extensively improved in 2024 with a Diamond Brite-style resurfacing, new tile and coping, updated pump equipment and reconfigured spa circulation. Hurricane protection includes impact-rated windows in the guest house, impact-rated doors and east-facing openings, plus shutters for the remaining windows.Quiet garage doors are professionally maintained under a service agreement, and select furnishings may be negotiated separately.
