The Chautauqua starts with the Great room - 24 foot long – which acts as the main focal point. We kept the original 1926 quarried Coquina fireplace. It is Real Coquina - Just like the Fort you will see in Old St Augustine! (We are still looking for someone to restore it). The Bead board wainscoted is also original, carefully removed & refinished from the original walls. The floors are Heart of Pine. They don’t even grow wood like that any more. The stairs and loft are Brazilian Cherry. The windows are cased in specially milled period trim. Even the interior doors, all 8 foot, were patterned after the originals. It has 3 comfortable Leather Couches around the TV ENTERTAINMENT CENTER with WIRELESS INTERNET - a MUSIC CENTER with PIANO & Guitar – a LARGE DINING table  – a Powder Room – lots of Wall Sconces - and Wonderful OCEAN VIEWS.

A state of the art Gourmet Kitchen. Full wood Cherry, Mission cabinets with tumbled marble backsplash and gorgeous sea scape metallic tile accents. The most unusual Granite I had ever seen. It is wonderful. Looks like sand.  

 

Honed Chisel-edged Stone floors. Microwave. Dishwasher. Full array of cooking tools, dishes, pots and pans, Wine glasses, Crock Pot, Elec Skillet, Coffee maker, Toaster. Large Laundry room with ironing facilities.

There's a huge Dining Table with benches plus 4 stools at the counter. Easily seats 14. Two outdoor Dining Tables and one on the Balcony. Plenty of seating for all. Folding chairs and Highchair if needed.

 

Plus whole second Kitchen and outdoor seating if you rent the First Floor too

There are 3 Bedrooms with private baths and 1 Bedroom that shares the Powder room and/or 3rd Floor Bath.  See the Bedroom Section for details on each.  1 is a King and the other 3 have Queen size beds.  You'll be provided all the Bath towels and Beach towels you will need.  All you need is a tooth brush.

As good as the main level is, most would agree that the LOFT is the show place of it all. Running the entire length of the house. With Brazilian Cherry floors and wainscot, it was designed to resemble a ship’s cabin. There is a POOL TABLE, WET BAR with antique corner sink, Frig and extra microwave. Great for late night popcorn.  Also a comfortable leather recliner.  Lots of Games and a Library of Books. PLUS 3 "THE KIDS FAVORITE" the SLEEPING BERTHS with TVs!

Whereas the adults will enjoy the loft, it was really made for the children and it’s the SLEEPING BERTHS they will be fighting over. There are 4 in all, 3 SIngles and 1 Double, plus a new Single Day Bed instead of the Couch shown here. The compartments are built into the walls, like a ship.  Complete with individual reading lights, TVs with DVD Players and under bed Storage Drawers for all their “stuff”. 

Out doors is where you will want to be. On the Main Level there is a Covered porch running the entire width of the house. Some consider it their favorite spot.

 

LOTS of seating - All Teak. Rockers, Adirondacks, benches, 2 sets of Table and Chairs.

 

Outdoor Grill and Shower. Beach Chairs, Towels & Boogie Boards! You can rent Surb Boards at the Pitt Surf Shop at the end of the street.

 

Nice grassy front yard with large patio for hop scotch. Even a Hammock for an afternoon nap.

 

The Ocean is just a few steps from your door. See the Beaches Description. No Catwalks. No Cars. Just Powered sand and great waves.  Check out the Live WEBCAB

The Main House has THREE spots, one in the garage to the left and 2 on the cobblestone drive way.  If you rent the Whole house you can easily park SIX. One in each Garage and 4 doubled up on the drive way. This would block the 2 garages ..  so best to bring only 4 cars if you can.
