About this property
Majestic 9BR Beachfront Estate w/ Private Pool & Back-up Generator
Welcome to Lush Life, a spectacular private estate set directly on the world-famous French Leave Beach — a mile-long stretch of powder-soft, pink sand ranked among the Top 20 Beaches in the World.

It even served as the backdrop for the 2010 Tyler Perry / Janet Jackson film Why Did I Get Married Too?
