What makes it different

Three places to hang out, not just one

Air-conditioned sunroom with shuffleboard table overlooking the pool

The A/C sunroom

  • Full shuffleboard table with a digital scoreboard
  • Vinyl record player and album collection
  • Chess set and lounge seating
Private free-form pool with string lights and palms in a fenced backyard

A private backyard pool

The backyard is fully privacy-fenced, so it feels more like a small resort than a rental.

  • Free-form pool with loungers and an umbrella
  • Covered gazebo and string lights
  • Fire pit with seating for four
  • Lit cornhole set and grill
Racing-themed garage game room with checkerboard floor, pool table, and arcade games

The racing garage game room

Black walls, a checkerboard floor, and a die-cast NASCAR display make this the go-to spot for race-weekend crews.

  • Pool table
  • Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat arcade cabinets
  • Screened bay door for the breeze
  • Washer, dryer, and utility sink along the back wall
