Leeward is the ideal home for your beachfront family gathering! This 5-bedroom, 4-bath home offers broad vistas of the beach, room for sizable gatherings, space for multiple generations to spread out, and a warm, calming environment. We have an elevator for ease too!

The main level of the home features a massive central space. Living room, sun room, dining room, and kitchen all flow together, providing plenty of space for togetherness, yet also places to be apart. Curl up with a book in the sun room, while others relax and talk in the living room, and still others work on a puzzle at the game table.

The beach-side wall is all windows, bringing sunshine and handsome vistas of the beach and dunes for all to appreciate.

The well-outfitted, open kitchen and wet bar with ice maker allow multiple cooks to prepare food and drinks for all. The enormous dining room table seats 10, with the kitchen table seating an additional 6. Family meals with a view of the ocean are memorable.

A huge, sunny deck stretches the entire length of the home. There is plenty of room for tanning, relaxing, or appreciating a glass of wine while watching the deer roam the dunes. The hot tub offers a place to warm up or cool down and is fashionable with all ages. For a change of pace, you can prepare on the gas grille and savor dining on the deck. Stairs lead down to the dunes, but a latching gate helps keep kids safely enclosed. A boardwalk leading directly to the beach is just two homes away.

The master suite features a king-size bed, wall of windows with beach vistas, constructed-in office area, private bathroom, and direct access to the deck. The other two bedrooms on the main level share a bathroom, with one featuring a king-size bed and the other a queen-size bed. Laundry facilities are conveniently located in a closet on the main level.

The lower level of the home features two additional bedrooms, both with king-size beds. There is also a secondary living room which offers the ideal gathering spot for teens or kids. Two full bathrooms on this level help ensure everybody has plenty of access.

Leeward has rarely been offered for rental, serving instead as a multi-generational family getaway since 1984. The home has hosted engagements, honeymoons, vacations, and innumerable family gatherings. We welcome your family to enjoy the loving, restful, and rejuvenating environment Leeward has to offer!
