Ciao Bella

Welcome to Ciao Bella. This beautiful home with refreshing saltwater pool located just steps from the beach at one of the best parts of East Beach. The pool can optionally be heated for a fee of $60+tax/night. It Is beautiful here. It only takes three minutes to walk from the salt water pool gate past the palm trees and live oaks to the sand dunes. The only you have to do is follow the footprints and beach cart tracks to the ocean. THE SPACE At 10th Street, the beach is uncrowded, restful and about as wide as a football field at low tide. Shrimp boats and large ocean going ships pass by soundlessly on the horizon. People are sunning, walking, jogging, fishing, sailing, flying kites. And always, the sound of the surf heard at the beach and the house. This is the perfect place for families with children. If you love nature this is the place. Bring binoculars. Bird watching from the roof deck all day, from the beach, and from Gould’s Inlet north to Sea Island. Thousands of gulls, sand pipers, and pelicans. Plenty of songbirds, too. And plenty of history on the island and along the coast, dating back to the 1500s with a Property Manager and maritime museum just a short distance away. There are three spacious outside areas for lounging and enjoying family and friends. The salt water pool is hard to beat, surrounded by teak chairs and tables and umbrellas. It is sunny all day. The second level deck faces west and is shaded by a canopy of live oak trees, a great place for lunch just off the kitchen with its indoor dining room for eight. And the roof top deck is spectacular anytime, from a morning cup of coffee to an evening drink. Here you have a 360 degree view of a maritime forest, palms, live oaks, and pines and the Atlantic. There is little traffic here, tucked away on the extreme east end of 10th street at the fourth house from the dunes, and no light pollution, which makes the roof top deck great for star gazing. The open floor plan on the second floor, which opens onto a large deck, makes this a great place for entertaining, moving easily from indoors to outdoors. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. And five full bathrooms are bonus at the beach. Bedroom Summary: - First Floor Bedroom 1-Queen Size Bed.
