Description
Nelson Gay’s garden gates open on to a stunning half mile beach. The clear, sheltered water is roped off for safe swimming and is ideal for all water sports. This elegant coral stone Palladian mansion is set in a lush tropical estate of nearly two acres – perfect for family or group holidays.
This elegant beachfront coral stone Palladian mansion is set in nearly two acres of mature, landscaped tropical gardens with many fine trees, fronting the immaculate Cobbler’s Cove beach. An impressive 50’ pool leads the eye naturally from the house to the beach. Tiled in Italian green mosaic, the swimming pool blends beautifully with the lush tropical vegetation. At the far end of the garden alongside the beach is an octagonal “Chinese” gazebo, a wonderful place for sunset cocktails and long, leisurely meals cooled by the ocean breeze.
Nelson Gay sleeps up to 18 with use of cottage and chattel houses.
The rooms are airy and mostly decorated in white with some green to complement the tropical surroundings. The beds are new and comfortable with lOO% high count cotton sheets and soft hypoallergenic pillows.
