Side yard has ample space for games and relaxing after a day at the beach. Side patio with table/umbrella, seating for 6 and a gas grill (propane provided). And, after the sun goes down, enjoy sitting around the fire pit (firewood provided) under the stars or head indoors and play a game of pool or air hockey.
