Welcome to Tuxedo Flats. As the name implies, you are about to immerse in a ‘formally informal’ vacation experience. The property is comprised of two 5-bedroom, 5.5-baths, 2250 square foot flats available as one 10-bedroom home. The beach is just across the street and the back yard is resplendent with cool, relaxing water and recreational features.
For Summer, Tuxedo Flats rents Sunday to Sunday, the rest of the year, you pick your dates.
On arrival, you will find impeccably-crafted matching homes on each floor. Decorated in what is typically described as “coastal chic” they are spacious and minimalist in concept leaving plenty of room for an ample gathering of family and friends. Luxurious 10- foot ceilings, custom moldings, high-end fixtures and electronic packages complete the setting.
Each customized island kitchen is appointed with Wood-Mode cabinetry, GE Profile appliances, granite countertops, and an elegantly carved travertine backsplash to delight both foodies and non-cooks alike. Fully equipped, with every imaginable utensil and counter-top appliance, all you need add are the groceries.
The bright Great Rooms form the main social area with a high-definition TV and DVD player. A wet bar with stand-alone ice maker and wine refrigerator awaits you in preparation for that perfect vacation libation.
Each bedroom is equipped with its own bathroom, television, and DVD player. Each level has three “master suites” with king-sized beds and private balcony access. And there is a fully handicapped equipped – specifically designed bedroom for special-needs guests or senior citizens. Each level also has a room for kids to call their own during their stay. An elevator connects all levels together with the ground floor for ease of use.
Practical appointments abound including large-capacity washers and dryers, and a wireless Internet service which enables you to stay connected to friends and family. You will also find that the garage accessible large elevator will help jump-start your holiday quickly and effortlessly.
Connecting large front and back decks enhance the beach views and lagoon features – perfect for a quiet read or afternoon cocktails. Headed to the beach? Grab a Tuxedo Flat beach cart provided for your use, and trundle 100 feet across the street and public beach access and discover the white sands and glistening emerald waters of the Gulf. Complete the day’s activity in the landscaped pool area with lounge chairs, the refreshing pool, grilling and relaxing siestas under our covered gazebo or in the hammock. For your energetic kids and teens, we also have a shaded ping-pong table. They can hang out away from adult supervision on chaise lounges by the pool or swing in the hammock chairs in our secluded outdoor breezeway. And when the outdoor temperature turns a little brisk, turn it back with our HEATED pool!
