French doors lead out from the kitchen into the garden where you will find a teak dining set and a propane BBQ. There is a winding path that leads from the lawn down to the rocky shoreline. Here you will find massive granite boulders and lapping waves. Lay out a towel and sunbathe, take a dip in a sheltered swimming spot just offshore, or go for a walk along the shore by hopping from boulder to boulder.
