Sugar Bay on the Beach

A sweeping staircase curves gracefully through the dramatic living room to a minstrel's gallery and cozy upstairs second sitting area with satellite/DSS television and VCR. Quadraphonic speakers fill the vaulted living room, verandah and pool area with sound. Salmon-hued Italian tiles, the blue mosaic pool, flower-draped balconies and porches, and textures of terra cotta and stone create a Mediterranean ambiance. From the large verandah, the soft grassy lawn gently slopes 30 feet to the 100-foot private beach.

Home-cooked meals are served on the verandah ~ or guests may opt to dine in the country-French indoor dining room, a quietly elegant space featuring a unique hand-carved sideboard and rushwoven chairs. As a special treat, the staff will plan a torchlight beach party ~ chicken, lobster, tenderloin or fresh fish grilled on the outdoor barbecue.

The seaside gazebo provides a wonderful platform for watching glorious sunsets across the water and dining romantically by candlelight. Star-gazing from this spot is magical.
