Exquisite Calibogue Sound views and a tremendous sense of space help to define this breathtaking second-story vacation villa.

The towering views dominate your first impression upon entering, as the whole of the open living space stretches toward it, viewed through a tall bank of windows. Here, a crisp lawn gives way to rolling dunes and then the glistening waters of the sound just outside. Enjoy it from the comforts of the extravagantly comfortable living space, with 55-inch flat-screen TV and microsuede sofa and armchairs in a beautiful palette of seaside greens and taupe, or step through sliding glass doors to the spacious deck with al fresco seating for four around a glass-topped patio table.

The views even carry into the open dining area, amplified by a mirrored accent wall and lovely beach-inspired artwork. The rich oak dining table seats six with convenient access to the beautifully updated kitchen beneath warm pendant lighting. Speckled granite counters in black and pearl in the kitchen pair elegantly with a backsplash of stone tiles in fawn and Aegean blue.

The open breeziness of the main living space informs a masterful sense of space in both of this villa’s marvelously appointed bedrooms. The master suite enhances this space with a roomy king size bed in tropical-inspired linens, plus a wall-mounted flat-screen TV and a comfy armchair for enjoying the views through tall sliding-glass doors. Pass through them, and you’re taking in the views of the sound from the master suite’s private balcony.

The second bedroom also carries a rich sense of space, placing two queen beds in seashell linens opposite a wall-mounted flat-screen TV with DVD player. This room enjoys access to the property’s main patio through a set of sliding-glass doors that frame a magnificent view of the water.

Each bedroom’s en suite is a mirror of the other’s, with spacious countertops in black marbled granite and dual basins, plus a roomy tub and shower set in exquisite tilework.

The majestic views and open spaces set the stage for a dream vacation just steps from the water on one side and all of the fun and excitement of South Beach Marina Village on the other.
