The ground level provides expansive storage ideal for outdoor and recreational equipment, perfectly suited to the island's nature-centered lifestyle. The second level features oversized, light-filled bedrooms designed as peaceful private retreats.

With pristine beaches, protected wildlife habitats, and a peaceful coastal setting, the island offers a rare lifestyle where architecture, nature, and tranquility coexist in perfect harmony.
