Need a cooling beach retreat for the summer heat? Or a cozy winter-time cottage to enjoy atmospheric swells? One vacation rental answers both: Island Time Beach House.

A perfect year-round ocean-front house offers the best of beach living, every day of the year. A glassed-in patio is the gorgeous spot you’ve always dreamed of. Morning coffee has never tasted better than when lounging on a sun bed, with the ocean in front and blue sky above.

A very bright living room has plenty of space and just the furniture you want at the beach: bamboo seating with thick, cushions. Throw open the wide sliding doors - and leave them open - to bring the outdoors in. Here at Island Time Beach House, you have the Atlantic Ocean for a backyard!

Either the sunny living room or gorgeous ocean-front atrium are ideal for board games, enjoying pizza or general hanging out. Enjoy two large couches, and a rocking chair in the living room, with two indoor wicker sunbeds in the atrium.

The beach cottage kitchen smacks of ‘home sweet home’, with checkered curtains and matching cushions on the breakfast bar stools. Mason jars stock your essentials, and plenty of counter space gives your culinary imagination room to wander. Whistle as you work, enjoying family to join you at the breakfast bar.

A beach-front bedroom would feature what else but a palm-flocked bedspread? The master suite has its own Jacuzzi, a private TV and - best of all - an ocean-front balcony. Wake with the sunrise - earning magic moments all to yourself.

The second and third bedrooms are just as welcoming and equally beach-appropriate, with delightful shell and sailboat motifs. Here, find a queen bed and two twins, to perfectly suit a group of any make-up.

Pets are invited as well, as this is a proudly pet-friendly rental. They’ll love playing with you on the beach - and might even take time out to investigate nearby parks and dog beaches.
